I've read this forum for a couple years, mostly in the dedicated offers section. Only recently have I found a need to post, in another forum, but apparently you need some sort of extra status first, so I'm posting here. Hello, WHT people. At what point, I wonder, do I gain my ability to make posts in other forums?

Hello and welcome to the forums. You must be a member for, at least, seven (7) days before starting a thread in forums that you currently can't post into.

Wow, that really sucks. I wish I had known that 7 days ago so I could prep for such a thing. I don't need this 7 days from now, I need this today. And here I always thought that lurking was for people who wanted to not be able to post. I guess I'm just taking crazy pills, wanting to post now that I've registered. Anyway, thanks for the info Josh.

No problem, I am in the same boat as you are but the community and people here are great and very helpful. Why don't you stick around for a while?

You're welcome to post just about anywhere! You just can't post in the advertising forums until you have 10 (quality) posts and have been a member for seven days. This was all stated in the rules (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/rules.php) that you agreed to follow when you registered. More questions can be answered in this thread (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=585586).

Welcome to WHT! Stick around and join in on discussions and you'll be able to advertise in no time. :)
