Description: If you view a thread using "viewthread.php", the top header area (with title, primary/secondary tags, and so on) will contain "[Post Reply]", even if you don't have permission to post in that tag (and using it will allow you to post a reply). The default forum view uses "oldviewthread.php", and doesn't have this problem. While this primarily shows up through the "Popular Threads" list (which has links using viewthread.php), any user can simply change their url on a viewed thread to remove the "old" part, and thus get posting privileges on tags they only have viewing permission for. Edit: after some testing, it seems that this isn't a general problem - I was not able to handcraft a post to a tag I didn't have permission to post to. For some reason, the same testing is not taking place on replies, that is being performed on thread starting posts.
