New Members
When you have registered, you can post in the New Members forum. You can only post in there at first - until you have completed 5 posts. This is for several very good reasons: there are many people who can help you there, including experienced Members who monitor that board. Also, as we are a large and busy site, we attract a great deal of spam. As this mostly turns up in the NM board we can easily control it without it inconveniencing the Members. Before we had this measure in place, we were buried under a torrent of spam, so it is definitely necessary.
