Unable to access own profile :-(

[DavidSC]

I've recently registered and while I can login and (hopefully) post without any problems I cannot access my profile. When I click 'My Profile' in the menu I get a message saying 'you do not have permission to access this page'.

Can a higher power please take a look and get back to me - thanks :-)

Thanks for signing up to the site! We lock down new user accounts to stop spam and abuse of the system. New users have restricted privileges on the site until they have made a few posts. I have manually upgraded your account now so you should be able to view and edit your profile. Any further problem just send me a private message or use the contact form at the bottom of the page.

You need to have posted at least 3(?) times before the account is fully enabled. These initial posts are also moderated. It stops spammers creating throwaway accounts.

Just make a couple of posts in General about gladiators or radiators and you'll be fine.

EDIT : What Admin said....

Any particular reason you are so eager to access your profile before posting anything on the forums?

Maybe he wants to put up a signature of "Yes, I have asked my accountant and tried Google"

If he'd done that surely he will have found plenty of posts explaining why he can't do it no?

:lol:

I don't know, my accountant hasn't started working yet today so he can't Google it for me.

Oh, and welcome to CUK, DavidSC!
