What's up with that?

[C Heise]

So according to the little sticky at the top, new members need to post 5 times in the new member forum before they can venture elsewhere. Pretty sure I have 5, three times over and I still can't post elsewhere. I went to reply in the APV discussion area and it wouldn't let me. Anyone else having these problems? Am I missing something here?

Maybe they just have not registered yet...give it a day and you should be fine. Good luck and enjoy your time on ECF, it is a great place to learn about allot of really cool stuff!

Fiance told me it takes about an hour for the server to pick up on it.

As part of the forum's anti-spam measures, new members are initially restricted to where and how they can post. This system is based off of your post count, and consists of three stages. Please note that it can take up to an hour for the forum software to update your account between each stage.

0 to 5 posts:
Members are restricted to posting in the New Members Forum only, can not use Private Messaging, and can not have a signature.

5 to 15 posts:
Members can post in other forums and use Private Messaging.

15 posts and above:
Members can post in all forums, and can now have a signature.

70 posts and above:
Members can no longer start new threads in the New Members Forum, but may post in threads started by others.

Please be aware that "spamming" useless posts for the sole purpose of raising your post count is not allowed, and may result in your posts being deleted.

The system will refresh again at 25 after this hour

Sorry about Charlie, Classwife. Them dang birds make a nest in your heart don't they?

The reason why you can't post until you get five is because ECF is the best E-cig forum in the universe and you have to earn your stripes and prove that you can abide by the rules before they give you free run of the place. Keep your head up, soldier, and make sure you read them forum rules twice before you go into the world and make a mistake.

Yup, Checked this morning and I could post to the other forums. I had 5 posts a day or two ago. It just seems odd that it took that long to update. Like waiting for paint to dry.......

Watching paint dry is waiting for the postal service to deliver your goodies. You'll see....

You say that like it's a bad thing. That's what I do for a living. I'm a lab tech for a paint company.

Thanks, elizabeth. You have to have 20 posts in order to get verified. Once you hit twenty, there is a process and it can take a few days depending on j0ker's schedule.
