Can't post

Can’t start thread in main memebrs section. I get this message but I don’t think I match any of the critera:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else’s post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
3. If you are new you may not have permission to start a thread in this forum.
4. If you have never posted, your account may have been refused at the application stage.

Except possibly 3, if that is the case how do I become ‘not new’, I noticed people with less posts than me posting threads in the main members section.
Any ideas?

Read the faq, button at the top of any page.

I’ll admit it’s not easy to find:

f.a.q button —> Forum Guidelines link —> General Guidelines link —> Start Here link —> New To This Forum

We get too many spammers coming into the forum trying to sell their wares so we limit the damage they could do by limiting where they can post. If you want to start a thread in newbie feel free and if it’s a main forum thread a mod will move it there or anywhere seen fit.

Thanks guys, I apologise for the obvious ‘newbie’ question haha. It took me about 4 minutes just to find the Search Bar! No wonder I didn’t notice the FAQ :D
