How Many Days Waiting Time For New Forum Members ?

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by WoodlandTracks, Oct 4, 2020.

  1. Good morning all,

    I have a friend who subscribed to the forums a few days ago, but is not allowed to post anything.

    How many days does he have to wait before posting is allowed ?

    Thanks

    PS: Originally this thread was in a different forum. But the forum team moved it to the general forum.

    It alerts one of the site mods to a post that they can answer directly. If you @ and then someone's forum name they get a notification

    Not all posts on the site are directly aimed or easiest answered by the mods... this one seemed to be. I don't care much either way.

    Hi WoodlandTracks, what's the username of your friend who subscribed?

    It's possible your friend has missed a step with verification, an email may have been sent to their junk inbox after registering, so please ask them to double check.
     
  11. He says not. Just tried it myself and I can log-in with his password. But on each forum it states .....

    (You have insufficient privileges to post here.)
