Why is it new members can't post in some sections?

[PatandSassy]

I wanted to reply to a women's post and it won't let me. I get that notice about prividedges or not being activated yet.

Why is that? When are you able to post in all sections? Or, is there something I need to do to be able to?

What forum was it?
You have to register for social sub forums, youll see a link at the top of it and it should say "View this social group"
Go to that page, and click register for group or whatever it is, I cant remember word for word.

It sounds like you are trying to post in a social club -- "the women's room" perhaps?

OP, perhaps you should stick to posting under one ID instead of 2 and you might have more success.

Why are some so quick to jump onto someone? Could you have PMed me to ask?

I did not ever intend to have 2 accounts. When I first found this forum, it game me the option to connect from my Facebook account. I just clicked that and posted.

It was not until later that I realized that I should have registered. So, I did. I have not posted anymore under the old account since I realized this and don't plan to.

I have fibromyalgia and people who don't have this illness do not realize that sometimes we read and don't comprehend all we read or that by the time we are done reading we have lost some of what we took in, so when I read the rules here, I likely saw that but by the time I read all the rules I didn't realize I couldn't post under more then one.

I have contacted by PM people who have ask me or mods, but I had not posted publicly until now. I will go post a post in new members section to inform others since people seem to want to jump on me about this.

I do not know anything about sub forums, I see there are groups and I did join a group from my area but that was on another page from the forum.

Hi Pat, Spitfire had it right, go to the social groups and click on the women's room, when you get there click on view this group (toward the top, above the first post) there should be pictures of the members, look for the do you want to join and say yes. We will be waiting for you to post.
Please don't mind Mr. Elendil, he wasn't being mean, just post a bunch of smilies at him next time..that'l really get him started! He's funny once you get to know his brand of humor.
As for starting your own threads , you'll need 2 more posts for that. Then I expect lots of threads in the Women's room.

PandS, sorry you've had such a problem with this. We just recently had a serious issue with a member creating multiple identities and causing disruption in the forum....and of course there was a lot of concern (and talk) about it. And we've also had some recent problems with spammers. So perhaps you can see members' concerns with this whole issue? It really wasn't anything personal.

Azure was not able to delete your account so he had to wait for me to handle it.....but I have taken care of it now.

So welcome aboard and good luck in your "vaping journey"
