To the extent of your knowledge, did this error occur before the upgrade? Well, we didn't have co-authors before, so.... no.

What section(s) are you getting the error: the 'Manage Stories' page, and other places you can find links to edit stories.

Does the error go away when you switch skins? If so, what skins seem to cause this error: No - as far as I can tell, it's on all of them.

Error message copy-pasted word-for-word:

You are not authorized to access that function.

I wasn't sure if this was an actual glitch, or if it is supposed to be that way, but just in case.

My friend submitted a story under both of our names, using the co-author feature.

In a review, someone pointed out a typo, and when I went to try to fix it, via the Manage Stories page, I got an error message.
I tried it again from my author page, and the same thing happened.

I tried all of the skins, as well, and it did not change.

I'm not sure if that's just the way the feature is supposed to work, but I thought I'd post here anyway.

The error does NOT occur when I try to edit a story I have written myself.

(It's the exact same error message from both links.)

Thanks in advance for any help or answer [:

It's a bug. I'll look into it.

I believe this has been fixed, as I've discussed with you privately. Co-author function should be fully operational.

Closing and marking as solved.
