I can't post on this thread or read any of the latest updates. Can a mod please tell me what's up with that? I'd hate to think it's someone's opinion being censored on a site where surely everyone's entitled to their own opinion? So i'd say lift whatever the issue is stopping me commenting on that thread and receiving updates. Either that or explain to me the problem.

I don't think anyone is censoring you, but the spam filter on this site can be fickle. In the past some have experienced being locked out completely - in fact it happened to Adam himself at one point!
No one quite knows how it works, but folklore has it that writing very short posts, or ones with lots of links but not much text, can be a problem.
As for not being able to see the latest posts, not heard of that before. What do you see?
Currently that thread is onto page 2. One of the irritations of this site is that, on a multi-page thread, it shows you page 1 first, and then you have to select the page you want AFTER the page has rendered. Sometimes that can take a while, when it's full of embedded youtube videos. Like that one is.
One thing you can do, if you're on a PC, is not to wait but type ?page=2 onto the end of the address to take you straight there.

I can't see any posts after '1847' where he says the stones have forgotten more about blues than a lot of people know. After that there's no more comments. No problem, i just thought i was getting censored for not liking the Rolling Stones!

That's the last post on page 1, have you tried clicking the page 2 link, it's near the top of the page?

MTG: There is no page 2 for that thread on my screen! So if we're on to a second page my PC is not showing it...

Spooky. Try my idea of using the link directly...

Strangely, all the posts are about loving the album ha ha :) You can put that right now...
To be less medieval about it, sometimes people add html codes to their posts, for links and embedded vids and suchlike. If they get it slightly wrong then some browsers will tolerate it and some won't. Often the effect is to lose the 'new message' form. It might be that.

Yeah I haven't looked this morning but last night I was thinking about posting a reply to Gerry's 'no disrespect' post and suddenly the page went odd and I couldn't see my prepared post and I had to quit out of the site. I just thought it was my machine but maybe not; I didn't bother going back as I'd spent too long on my post and other stuff was pressing; like arguing about our set list for tonight.

Weird very weird! That's it, back in and i can access it again. And i haven't a clue what caused it! LOL! Maybe it was the Russians after all! They're supposed to be hacking everything so you never know!
