Why Can't I post to RI's Forum Board?

[yawppy]

I'm in the RI/MA/CT region, and have been curious if thee are other vaporites near by. Found one Big Jim think is his name, in warwick, so went to post and get the following:

vBulletin Message yawppy, 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, you are initially restricted to posting only in the New Members Forum. Please see this thread (another link shoot me!) for details.
3. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

FORUM IS HERE (AGAIN WITH THE RESTRICTIONS..WAS A LINK TO THE FORUM, BUT WOW.. SO MANY RESTRICTIONS, NEED 10-15 TO POST A LINK? NEED 5 POSTS TO VENTURE OUT OF THE NOOB AREA, COME ON.. RIDICULOUS!)

I have 7-10 posts.. so option 2 should be cleared, option one, nope just trying to post a reply, and as for option 3.. well I'm posting a thread here, and posted a reply in another thread, so nope that can't be.

So not sure what the issue is, but just got the 510.. gonna need a new charger, one I got appears not to function, but vaping, well jury still out, but we'll wait for the charger to make sure but all indications are good thus far!

Welcome. Tasty Vapor has 510 chargers for $4. Deal. And even when you get enough posts to do other things, sometimes it takes about an hour for the mods to catch up and change your settings....

Welcome. Yes 15 post needed and may take a little time for the system to change your status

I'm kinda in the same boat so I'm just sticking to the Newbie threads for now. As for these restrictions, I totally understand why they do it. SPAM. The Internet is full of it and they don't want any spammers here. If you are willing to post 15+, chances are you're not some idiot spammer or a spambot! Hope you stick with it.

It says you have to join a social group before you can post on the board. I haven't done it myself (none in my area) and I have no idea how one would go about doing it. Maybe sent a PM to one of the members of the group and inquire.

Also, some social groups require that you be a member in order to post, and that can apply to replies too. Depends on how it was set up.

Nobody ever reads forum descriptions... even when there is bold, red text...

You're trying to post in a social group forum. Before you can do so... you MUST join the social group.
