I’ve never come across a posting curfew for newbies on a forum (9pm - 9am is it here)? Quite an odd thing. Like trying to police bedtime.

But how long does it last? Coming up on 4 months now, I’m beginning to wonder whether it will take the full 18 years.

Hi BW,

Sorry bout this - it should only be 1 month, so you're one of the people that the system hasn't picked up on. I'll change this for you now so you can post whenever.

Cheers.

Hi. Can I get the nod too please. Been a few months for me I think. Not a killer as I live abroad so just frustrating over lunch when it’s still pre 9am GMT

Hi, can you confirm me as safe on the system?
I have just started a thread in reader's cars which seems to be quite popular but I'm struggling to keep it updated with the curfew in place.
Thanks.

Retro, you should be okay. Try it this evening and post back tomorrow to let us know if you still have an issue.

Ah jeez, this explains it.

I’m taking part in threads & have started one & it’s a right PITA seeing the “not accepting posts from new members” bit.

Worst bit is I’ve been on all the car forums for 17/18 years & prob signed up here over ten years ago. Tried to send my password but must have been on an old email address so had to sign up again.

What sort of stupid system is that anyway?

I could understand a limit on the ammout of posts a new member could make to reduce spam but this?

Maybe it’s designed to stop people who have a few sherries and get on the keyboard!

I've updated your profile so you can post whenever you like now smile

This is in place to stop spammers that sign up making any posts while we're tucked up in bed!

Thanks Jack. Is it ok to pm you about my old account? I’d like to get back to that really but fear my email I used was one I gave up.
