Very odd! I can’t seem to reproduce this error… that error message points to an invalid group, but I don’t see any groups in your BBCode and `status="public"` should allow everyone anyway…

Can you share the raw version of the broken post? You can find it by visiting `/raw/<topic_id>/<post_number>` (so for example, this Meta post would be `https://meta.discourse.org/raw/405428/1`
