New member, can't view certain things

[tunnelblue]

I'm a new member and I've waited a while for the validation process. I found a post a woman posted about a certain hair product that might be able to help me. I've been desperate to see the results. When I click on her name to see her album it just says:

tunnelblue, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

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?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.Sooo...it's been a while. How do I get the privilege? Also, I don't know why I would have been disabled by a administrator...I have done no trolling or anything of that sort. Please, I am desperate. Thanks.

what is a while? you wont be able to look at certain things until after the mods actually activate your account. this may take 24 hours or longer. you will be able to sign in, but won't have privileges until they activate you. then you must post like 25 times or something before you get more access, then post 100 times before getting a blog or albums. all this is in the FAQ section i think?

You need to have 25+ posts to view profile albums I believe. Here it is all about post count. The more you post, the more privelages you will get. It's for all members' safety!

ETA: Here is the thread for how many posts earn you which privelages.

I have noticed there are message that talk about photos and people are commenting on them but I don't see anything! Does this take a while? I'm at 25+ posts myself.

Some people choose to pit their photos in private albums that you only get access to if they accept a friend request. Those albums will otherwise never show up regardless of privileges.

Posting is the act of submitting a message and having it show up, whether it is replying to a thread (like you have done here) or beginning your own thread. So far it looks like you have posted in total about five times. :) Things are looking good so far!

You should be able to see your post count to the left of any post you've made. (17 as of right now!)

[cameronscurls]

oohh, of course! thank you for pointing that out for me! well im above 25 now.. still cant view peoples profiles .. hmm..

[ladyfey]

I have 50 posts and still can't start a thread, so you are not alone! (I don't understand either)

You could always try to log out and then in to see if that does it for you. But priviliges are given manually and if the mods have alot to do it might take some time.

To start a new thread go to the appropriate forum. To your left, above the threads (and underneath the ad) you should se a gray button with 'new' written on it. Click it and start your thread. :)

It's not just you -- I can't view it either and I've been around long enough to see just about everything non-modly.

This thread is from October 2010 :wink:
The link is ancient and some things have been restructured and reposted since then :) Anje got the up-to-date links. They (and many more helpful links) are in the announcement at the top of this forum.

ladyfey, issues with starting new threads can be due to incompatible browsers vs. forum software. Hit the compatibility button of your browser or try using another one to see if it gets better.

ETA: dragaica, even unregistered / logged out you should be able to see the swap section. So I don't have an explanation for you not being able to see it. :/
