  I tried to go to the global dashboard but WordPress said :”Error Accessing Dashboard
  You are logged in as “ciberintimidation101” and do not not have the necessary privileges to access the dashboard for “Global Dashboard”. Please ask an administrator of the site to invite you.” I accessed it not long ago.
  Does anybody know what is going on with my global dashboard?

  I do believe that Staff are working on that area presently. I’m waiting for awhile and trying again and you may want to do that too.

  I ought to actually confirm whether or not that you are an Admin of the blog in question. Are you?

  This is also happening to me. I have a single user account, am setup as an Admin, blog is hosted by WordPress, try to authorise FB (which is in fact already authorised but seems not to publish blog as it used to. Get the error message that my username has no right to the Global Dashboard. Reported this a few days ago but have heard nothing. It is extremely frustrating no?

  I was having that problem yesterday, but now I cannot post to Facebook. I’ve set it up and taken it down and set it up again without success.

  Please try the full reconnect procedure detailed at http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#reconnecting-facebook including step 3 (removing the FB app), which is probably the most important step.

  Hi Timethief,

  I did that already. I’m afraid it made no difference. A quick look through the forums leads me to believe that I’m not the only one with this problem.

  I suspect Facebook. I don’t, as yet, have the new Timeline and that may be what’s wrong.

  No, I have timeline and I’ve tried the same thing and it hasn’t worked yet.

  The Global Dashboard is not accessible right now. I’m not sure if that’s a permanent change or a temporary glitch, but we’re looking into it.

  For now, everything that was in the Global Dashboard can be accessed via the tabs at http://wordpress.com/ like your list of blogs: http://wordpress.com/#!/my-blogs/

  Thanks for letting us know that. It would be helpful if Staff posted sticky posts at the head of the forum in situations like this.

  It definitely would. I’ll post something when I know for sure.

  This seems to be working again now.

  Does that explain why post to Facebook isn’t working?
