Title: Posting on IS forum?
Post by: Maui on July 26, 2008, 03:17
Hi list,

this feels like a very dumb question - but how do you post on the IS foums?
I have registered and logged in, but I can't find any button or link to start a new thread. Is it necessary to be accepted as a contributor? But I think I have seen people asking for advice before they got accepted.

Hm - no. There is no 'Add Topic'. Must be something about my member status I guess. But what?

I *think* I remember hearing something about needing to be either a contributor or a paying customer in order to start new topics in all the forums. (Probably to cut down on trolling.) I think you can post in the support forum (?) but I could be mistaken though.

I had this problem before, you have to be an accepted contributor to be able to post...

So if I have a question regarding my contribution *before* I am accepted, I cannot ask... duh.

Well, thanks to all who replied!
