No repro from me. I’ll reopen and can you look at the network requests (there should be a page in the F12 dev tools, ping me if you need more assistance) what’s returned here?

@luap42: I tried pressing F12 but didn't see anything obvious - what should I look for? I added steps to reproduce the issue, if that's any help (probably a bit obvious). Perhaps something to do with my permissions?

@Wikis can you show a screenshot of the full close dialog? Can you click F12, then something like "Network" (maybe in a "..." menu?). Then make the close request and then there should be a "403" request in the list. Click there and copy the "server response".

@luap42 Isn't there a requirement of 250 rep to close posts?

@luap42: full server response: {status: "failed", message: "You must have the Close privilege to close questions."} message: "You must have the Close privilege to close questions." status: "failed"

Yeah, that's it @Dani. So the messages to the user need to be improved.

Not sure if the edit makes this a duplicate of my older question Post action links that cannot be used should be hidden, but it's definitely similar.

FWIW this is going to be fixed really soon. And stay tuned for an announcement in a few hours, which the fix belongs to... 🤞
