Can't start a thread?

[0Gravity]

Hello All,
I guess this question would be directed to a Moderator in these forums....I just tried to start a new thread in the General Section and when I hit the "New Post" button a page comes u saying I do not have access or permissions blah...blah...! I had no problem posting a week ago or so! Can someone let me know what happened....If I did something wrong which caused me to get my account privalges suspended, I would kinda like to know what that might have been!
Thanks,
Mike

You have to have at least 15 post to start a thread outside of the new members forum and apparently this one.

Hmm, ok so why did my thread in ask the experts last week go through...I guess that is another forum that you can do it in...Ok thanks I guess I will have to post a dozen or so more times on something I know very little to nothing about...lol!
Thanks again for the reply,
Mike

Yep, ask the experts were set-up so a newbie can ask a question. If you want I think its OK to go to the sandbox and experiment.

Yep, ask away! [And notice that you also can start a thread in this forum.]

Oh, same problem here.

I have all the criteria, but still can't post...

 

[Timtam]

Even if you have 15 posts you have to wait up-to an hour for the system to run its task to update you.

I can't reply to posts - even with 12 posts - on some areas. Is this normal?

 

[dinium]

I should clarify - this has only happened today, and happens to threads I've already posted in. When I click the reply button I'm redirected to a screen that says:

dinium, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

   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 a new member with less than 10 posts, you can not post new threads anywhere except for the New Members Forum. Please see this thread for details.
   3. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I'd start a new thread about his, but naturally can't due to post count.

There are certain areas of the forum, where only members of a specific group can post comments, or start threads, this would be in the "Social Groups" section. Also the "Ask the Experts" section is restricted to certain members only and some threads have been "Closed", to further comments.

Hi dinium,

Shoot me a PM with which forum you are trying to reply to a post in. I'll get you squared away.

One consideration is that you can't post anything in a "Social Group" thread that you're not a member of. Just in case that may be happening.


EDIT: Sorry, didn't see that 2nd page of posts, this has been covered. Editing this one so I don't feel I wasted a bunch of time posting it. So now that I've added the fact that I edited an otherwise extremely relevant post (hi-5 me somebody), I'll go back to not posting unless I deem it totally irrelevant. Cheers and carry on..........

Ouch, that hurt !!! You can stop stomping on me now TV !!!

I noticed that I had problems posting early on because I didn't check the "Remember me" box when I signed in to the forum. When I checked the box, all of my problems went away.

 

[JerryRM]

For some reason, if you don't check the "remember me" box, the forum kicks you out in a short time.

There are certain areas of the forum, where only members of a specific group can post comments, or start threads, this would be in the "Social Groups" section.

The area I'm having problems is the Australian section. However, as I've been able to previously post there, this is a little weird. The issue is happening mid-conversation to threads that I've been posting to (at least until yesterday).

"Remember me" When I checked the box, all of my problems went away.

I have that checked (I'm lazy with passwords!)

Shoot me a PM with which forum you are trying to reply to a post in. I'll get you squared away.

Thanks Angus!

So, is this where the experts ask questions? I'm not really an expert on much so I guess I can't ask anything there. Unless the un-experts are supposed to answer. If that's the case I think I have one. But how are they experts if they have to ask? And do they know they're experts intuitively, or did they find out when they weren't able to answer another expert? I haven't tried posting there, so I can't really say I'm not an expert for sure. But then, if it turns out I am an expert I guess that's all I really care to know, so I guess there's no need to post. Thanks for clearing that up, Jerry .

More than happy to help TV. If you need to be confused even more, just let me know.
