Are you getting an error message or just reading the note saying the newbie section is where new people SHOULD post? Have you tried to actually post in other forums without success? If have tried to post but cannot, let us know what the message reads.

The site used to have a 5 post minimum for new users to help weed out spammers but these days it just takes an administrator to ok you once they have time to get to it. You are probably good to go by now.

  1. <LI itxtvisited="1">Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
you are at 4 posts so try making one more here then see if you get access elsewhere

I think it should I posted four or five and was off and running the standard is five posts and you now have six so you shouldn't have any problems.

Sorry about missing this thread. My daughter was married Friday evening and family has been here for weekend. I will refer this to Paul and see if he can find a solution. I am sure he can fix it. Again, sorry.

Still a problem? I see you have the correct status now "Registered User" which should mean you can now post anywhere. Please send me a PM if you're still having problems and I'll work with you directly.
