I have just registered today but obviously have validated it but seems there are a lot I can't view, why is this? This is the main error message I get: > Board Message
Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
The error returned was:
Sorry, but you do not have permission to use this feature. If you are not logged in, you may do so using the form below if available.
Why can't I view a comment left to me?

This is because you do not have permission to use certain features of the site. You need at least 30 posts and then request for permission with the board administrator, to use various board features. This has been put in place since we had various issues that popped up sometime ago.
This is further explained HERE.
Namaste.

Moonie is correct on all except one thing....you do not need to request permission. Once you hit 30 posts your account will automatically upgrade to regular member status. This will give you access to the Private Message system as well as the ability to view profiles.

Ah ok, thanks so much to the both of you. Others shouldn't be able to post comments then until they can view it.

So after I hit 30 posts I have to contact the admin for each forum? Or is there one general one? And how do you contact them when I can't send any emails?

You don't need to contact anyone, the upgrade happens automatically on all forums. You also should be aware that certain forums, games, etc. do not count toward post count. We count those forums that directly deal with paranormal discussion since this is a paranormal forum. (Those forums in the Town Square)
Sorry it has to be this way, but it is a method of helping protect our members from those who would otherwise spam the members' PM stsyem. So just keep on posting your discussions on the board in various topics (No spamming though!) and when you hit 30 posts you will be granted full access.

Totally understandable. Could maybe let new members know somehow though? Took my a while but finally found most of the answers I was looking for. Some members didn't even know about it.

Sorry you ran into that difficulty. I thought that the "Welcome to GV" email that went out when you registered explained this? I remember typing something up when the change went into affect for that.

I never received the welcome email I just checked. I had the validation one and then a couple today for adding some friends.

Hmmm...that's strange.....I thought there was one that you received after you validated your account. I'll have to look into that. May be another excuse to bug Jeff about an upgrade to the message boards some more!!!!

It's possible that your computer security put the email to you into your junk/spam folder. I always check that to make sure I'm not missing emails from places I've recently joined online.
