Posting on behalf of Sylvain

Sylvain’s issue is an irregularity I think, since the user has
made a significant number of posts.

I’m not sure of what the settings are currently for the
lumberjocks forum software, but I seem to recall that at
one time you had to post 10 replies to existing threads
before you automatically got permission to start threads.

This is not uncommon with forums. It prevents spammers
from deluging the forums with links.

When I joined which was fairly recently, I made a forum post which went thru approval before being actually posted to the site. After that it said that I could start new threads, post comments, etc. at will.

Unfortunately, I can’t think of any direct advice regarding Sylvain’s problem, wish you and him the best of luck.

Andy,
Your friend had just join. Right?
I do recall what Ben had said.
When I join and posted, it did have to go through some kind of aproval process.
I didn’t paid much attention, but I do recall recieving a meesage advising me I can start posting (without approval).

Andy,
Many thanks for posting this for me.

I have to add that the forum I tried to post 31 days ago has disapeared in the cyberspace and I would have to write it completely again.

Presently i am still blocked.

Now that I think of it, I wonder how the text of a disapeared forum can be reviewed and approved?

I want to thank you all for your support and your very kind words.

Ms Debbie has sent me a message 10 hours ago saying tht she will look at the problem.

I hope she will succeed to unlock my ability to post forum.

Just piggy backing on here because I am experiencing similar issues.

I have tried to post two topics now. One was on some lumber I ordered recently and the condition it was in and just now I am trying to post one on problems I am having centering my router’s sub base.

Any help alerting the admin’s would be greatly appreciated!

I have a similar problem. I’ve been getting “You cannot post a new topic until your first post has been reviewed and approved.” for about 9 months now. Since there is no way to report the problem when you can’t post….

Hi folks. I have the same problem “You Cannot Post a New Topic Until Your First Post Has Been Reviewed and Approved”.
Can someone get Ms. Debbie to help me out as she has for this fellow.
I would really like to be part of this site, but unfortunately, I can’t do anything at the moment.
PLEASE HELP!!!!
IT HAS BEEN 101 DAYS!
No responses from Martin or anyone else that I can find to contact.
