    On some web forums your account has to be approved before you can post.

    Some forums moderate your first few posts to combat spam. Posts need approval before being displayed.


    Reading the forum charter or looking in the faq section would probably answer your query

    ...while they check to make sure you're a fanboy. That's one of the advantages of Motors, loyalties are even and not focused on VAG or BMW or whatever. Actually, quite a few of us will shamelessly hook up with whatever car that takes our fancy - and live with the slagging :D

    A lot of sites send you an email after you sign up to validate your membership and then you can post.

    Did you get any of those? If not check your spam folder?

    I'm going to close this, it's not a motors thread. And it's a bit odd trouble shooting troubles with other forums on this one! Anyway, I presume you're sorted now anyway.
