You have to get at least 10 posts before you can acvcess things like that mate. It's to stop spammers etc i think

There are several features that new members don't have access to.

OK cheers, need to think of stuff to ask thats not just waffle

Posts as in own threads created or as in replies to other peoples threads? Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions, but I was wondering about the same thing, since it says I have 10 "posts" but I can't view anyones profile, not even my own nor send messages to anyone....

It takes a bit of time to sort itself out, be patient lol, and do some more postings

The forum runs a check every 30 minutes on the number of posts members have made and updates the counters, so when you have made your 10th post it could take half hour before your user permissions are updated and allowed access to the restricted parts new members can not access.

These measures are in place to mainly prevent spam on the forum and via private message.

I'm glad Ive found this thread as I was wondering why I have limited privileges

You will have to think up a few questions

Ahhhhh - that explains it. Well, I guess this post makes one less to get to my 10!
