I just registered! Why can't I post? - Bolty - 08-12-2007
Due to new forum security measures put in place in 2007, new accounts cannot create a new topic until they've replied to an existing one. This is done for two reasons:
1) You have to show you want to actively participate in a discussion, and it helps get people to READ threads before posting a new one with the same question someone else has already asked.
2) It keeps out spammers who were using bots to spam up the forums with ads and drivel.
Thank you for your understanding.
