New User can't access the forum

[Seifer63]

Arf, I though my account was activated but visibly I can't answer any thread in the Tech Aid section nor create a new one. I guess I have to wait a little more time

You won't be able to create a thread until you've posted 50 times, but you should be able to reply to any thread.

I tried replying to the "Ask general Genesis/MD/Sega CD/32X questions here (for new members)" on Tech Aid, but it said something about my post needing to be approved by a moderator. I had the same issue about a year ago when I was trying to ask help for the same problem with my MD as now, but my message never got through. Is it because my account doesn't have any posts or the combination of that and the reply containing links to images?

New user StevenGenesis waiting to be activated on the forums. Hanging out in the discord. The discord seems to have become a purgatory for people that are waiting to get activated on the forum. Pretty bummed out about that. Anyway, thanks again for your help!

The confirmation email can take up to 48 hours to arrive. If not, the person is supposed to contact me for confirmation. Everyone could use the contact form on the main site to contact me or simply email me. I keep seeing people who joined several months or even more than a year ago that never contacted me. I can't help them if they don't let me know they' aren't approved to post.
