New restriction ?

During the last few minutes, I 've been unable to answer in the engineering or HTW forum, while I was able to only a few hours ago.
What happened ? Is there a posts/day limit, or something like that ? Is that a new rule, or an old one that I've misread ?

It happened to you too! Look under your name!

"Junior Patrons".

That's not right, it should say "Patron", and you should be a "Junior Member", just like I was... I think Jr. Member's got somethin' screwed with their accounts today, because everything else seems normal. We can only do as much as Junior Patrons now. We'll have to wait and see what the Moderators say:\

There have always been restrictions. It is only when the forums were down and put up on a new server were we all able to do what we wanted. The moderators have restored the forums back to what it was before. In my opinion, NOOOOOOOO!!!

Well, IMHO, this is totally silly. I mean, why am I allowed to post here and not in the mod forum ? I signed up in this forum mostly for the mod part (I'm playing HTW and BKB super Mod) and I can't post anything there. Yay !

But you could answer/comment in existing threads...

Are you sure ? I'm not allowed to ...
In the old forum it was possible to answer - in fact it was the only part of this forum i posted in.

Well i'll have to make heavy use of mails to continue working on the XVI-XVII mod.

We can now only post in the Alchemist Lab, I believe...:\

Ah well, now some people will be confused about my posts in there:p

At least I gave the one guy I was talkin' to my Email already *whew!*

Just have to do this the hard way... I suppose... *Lol* (note, this is quickreply, so I can't use the cool smilies I'd insert at several parts of this post:D)

Steady, Lads. I'm working with Admin to see if we've got a 'glitch' somewhere.

This is how it's supposed to work (from the stickied "New? Read this First" thread:

"Junior Patron
Once you have activated your account, you will have a Junior Patron status. Being a Junior Patron when signing up serves to help you acclimate to the Guild and gives the Guild staff an opportunity to meet you. You can read all posts in any forum but you have some posting restrictions:

1) Entrance Hall forum: you can start new topics/polls or reply to existing topics/polls.
2) Apothecary forum: you can only reply to existing topics.
3) Dungeon - Alchemist lab forum: you can only reply to existing topics.
4) Story/PBM - Mead Hall forum: you can only reply to existing topics.

5) You are restricted from posting in all other forums. "

Meanwhile, we're working on getting a batch of Junior Patrons moved up this weekend. Thanks for your patience and understanding while we all adjust to this new forum software.
