Registered, but Can't Post?

[KukriKhan]

I've received PM's from new registerees about problems they have in posting.

Most often, the problem is that they have not yet fully activated their accounts by clicking the link in our confirmation email.

If that describes YOUR situation, do this:

1) Go to the email account you used to register with us, and look for an email with the subject:
"Action Required to Activate Guild Membership"
2) Check not only your inbox, but also any folders called: Bulk, Junk, Spam, Trash, etc. Web-based email accounts like Hotmail, Lycos, Yahoo often send our emails to those folders.
3) Click the link inside that email; that will confirm your email and activate your membership. Then you can post.

If all of that fails, email me at jim@jimcee.com (put "TW" in the subject, so I don't mistake you for spam), and we'll sort things out that way.

Cheers. And welcome to the .Org!

I've sent email with such a request and still got no reply. The problem is that I've activated my account, but can't post in most threads. Please help.

Welcome to the Org, Avanti. I don't think you are experiencing an error: junior members cannot post in most forums except the guides and the Entrance Hall. This is to let them become used to the atmosphere here and to keep spammers, flamers, trolls and other internet-nuissances out. The system is a bit restrictive but if you post a few times in a friendly and helpfull manner, you will be a full member soon enough.

For more information, see the Guild FAQ.

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

If you look under your screen name, you will notice it says Junior Member. Right now you can just post in the New Member forums. You have to wait until one of the admins makes you a member. As you can see, I'm still waiting, too.

[WhiteProphecy]

ok, thankyou.

This is very stupid idea, if u ask me !!!
This is the first ever forum I had to do so many steps to just post anything !?!?
If someone wants to spam, it still can post several polite messages and then spam !!!

And now the worst thing will be that I will post question about MTW2 in some other subforum 'cause I cant post on the forum related to my question.
So it in fact it will be spam !!!

just my 5c

Welcome to the Org.

While I understand it can be frustrating, it does help to keep spammers, flamers and trolls at bay.

If you post constructive, you'll be promoted in no time. Consider it a chance to interact with other people who face the same ordeal .

All well and good but it only works sometimes

[Duke Eugen]

Great I made the members list! Now maybe I can post yesterday 3 times I tried to post to new members but no go! To lose 3 pages of text for a disabled person who types 1 letter at a time with a rubber tipped pencil it Bites!
After all it's time I could have spent playing MTW right?
But onward and upward!!

Three pages? How long did that take? If you are not active (that is: don't load new pages) for a period of 15 minutes or so the forum automaticaly logs you out. Perhaps that is what happened?

Welcome to the Org, BTW.

Hi there,

I still can't post in most threads and I did follow every single link in the activation email.

Anyway, I just wanted to let the community know that in order to solve the recurrent CTDs caused by Nvidia drivers you should install the 5.3.0.3 version (that can be found here: http://www.pny.com).

Can anyone post this in this thread?

Thanks

[elbasto]

The above link won't work because of the )

Follow this one: http://www.pny.com

And how can I edit a post?

[Duke Eugen]

I'am glad I'am not the only one who can't get this site to post properly.
Posting to this site is like hitting your head against brickwall over&over!

Welcome to the Org, elbasto.

I have posted your message in the thread you linked to. The problems you are experiencing are because you are a junior member. Junior members can post only in a few forums and cannot edit. The system is a bit restrictive, but it keeps out spammers, trolls, flamers and assorted nuisances of the internet. If you post a few times in a friendly and helpful manner you will be a full member soon enough.

You can find more information in the Guild FAQ.

Ouch! I know that can hurt. How do manage to play TW like that?

When writing long post I always take care that I press the preview button every three paragraphs or so. This loads a new page so the forum knows you are still active (as it cannot see you typing). You have to do it every five minutes or so, I don't know exactly how long it takes for the computer to log you out but I think it is around 15 minutes.

[Duke Eugen]

Much thanks again Ludens for the info.
I spent too much of missspent youth hand pounding medieval helms & armour for my friends in the SCA

[Mattisius Carsonius]

Apparently I can post here but not in any other forums.

[genjuro]

All that is required to be promoted and get access to the other forums is a bit of patience and posting a few a friendly and helpful messages in the Entrance Hall.

a bit of patience equals what amount?

can i have a custom avatar? ... how?

Welcome to the Org, sun.

Since you can post I don't think there is anything wrong with your registration. However, junior members have restricted posting abilities: they cannot post or start threads in all fora. If you want to ask a question or start a thread in another forum, post it in the Entrance Hall and a helpfull member or moderator will move it. This system is a bit restrictive, but helps to keep the Org free of flamers, trolls and other nuissances of the internet. For more information on membership levels, promotion and posting restrictions, read the Guild FAQ.
