    Hi Moderator,

    My friend is trying to join TMC but is unable to participate (create post, profit pic and more). However, whenever she logs in, she received a message below:

    Welcome to TMC! Since you currently have few or no posts in the forum, you have somewhat limited profile privileges. You'll be able to do things like add a profile image after you've participated in the community a bit more. Please review the Forum Rules and happy posting!

    I am wondering is there any rules before she can post or reply to anyone?

    Thanks

    I seem to remember restrictions on starting a new thread when you are a new member, but not necessarily replying to an existing thread. I'd suggest finding a thread that is related to the question she has and posting a reply there.

    I can't check anything without knowing who the user is.

    seems very difficult to post a question. I have the same problem. Fair enough if there are rules but seriously, this site thinks people have time to read through the whole document. If a new subscriber can't post yet, let them know, and let them know what to do.

    The user in question from the start of this thread was banned for being a sockpuppet account. That's why "she" couldn't post. New users are able to post. However, your post might need approval if it gets caught by our spam filters.

    I had the same problem. It kept asking me to type in a recipient for my post, and I don't know of any.

    I do not even see a place to start a post (am a new user) - can someone advise me where I may find the button to start a new post?
