Title: Newbies restriction should be more visible Post by: redwancoin on January 13, 2014, 09:26:26 PM Hello all,
I've registered a few days ago and got stuck because I couldn't see a reply button anywhere. After some research I found out that the forum has restrictions for newbies. I'm not against it, I think it makes total sense to have such restrictions but I think new users should be warned by the welcoming email they get or at least by a PM when first log in. Would it be possible to change this? Thanks :) Title: Re: Newbies restriction should be more visible Post by: guybrushthreepwood on January 13, 2014, 09:37:07 PM Hello all, I've registered a few days ago and got stuck because I couldn't see a reply button anywhere.

All in all it is probably a good thing that people have to put some time in before posting all over..

I am merely throwing out ideas for improving a forum that seems to have a lot of success :)
