Considering the whole new members area is locked.....

Guess the only way to get active is to create my own thread and reply to it???
Every thread i've clicked on in new users mentions insufficient privileges to post

1. Make sure you're actually in the New Member forum and not one of the sub-forums that is locked to posting.
2. Make sure the thread is still open. Threads that have had no response after 90 days are automatically closed.
3. Welcome to ECF.

you don't actually have to create new threads - just reply here, tell other new members howdy - just need 5 posts, status will update at :25 past the hour

Welcome to the Forums and follow Retired1's advice. You will break out of here in no time at all -

Thanks, all!
Sorry for the sarcastic post, just got a little ticked off looking for places to put my 5 obligatory ramblings

I've actually lurked here and on a few reddits subs for a while...perhaps i'm a digital lurker by nature

Well, welcome to the board anyway, lurker or not.
