Where does it say you must make five posts before you are able to start a new thread? I can't find anything that says that.

LOL, I know I haven't introduced myself yet...I wasn't able to until now. And I've already participated in lots of discussions. Welcome!!

Hello and welcome

Hi ~ I'm a new member.

What's it 'securing'? What was happening that caused the measure to be adopted?

Inquiring minds would really like to know.

And it is made all the more strange by the following announcement at the top of every page of the Forum I visit:

"Hello Pamela818,
Our records indicate that you have never posted to our site before! Why not make your first post today by saying hello to our community in our Introductions forum.

Why not start with your first post today and become an active part of LDS.net now!"

Oh, and then there's the message that came up when I tried to do the Intro post by starting a new thread for it (several times, thinking it was temporarily out of order - I'm a persistent sort. <g>):

"Pamela818, 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. "

I think those who made the changes don't see the 'beginner pages' anymore and so may not realize how confusing this is. At least for a couple us. <g>

Anyway, 1 post down! <bg>

I'm thoroughly enjoying reading in many areas of the Forum and hope to join in soon!

Best to All,

Pamela
