can someone help me with my GUI miner using a 7990?  I keep getting  an error message saying "Problems communicating" almost every 4-5 minutes and then the hash rate drops from 500GH/s to 100KH/s. Thanks for your help in advance 

GH/s or MH/s ?

why did they even make a newbiejail?

Back in 2011 there was a massive problem with people making new accounts to spam the forum and using multiple accounts to run scams or just scam people and start a new account and scam again. So the forum administrators created the newbie forum, it has helped to some degree but you still need to watch out for scammers.

so how many posts do i need to allow me to post in the regular forums

I think that information is in the sticky at the top of the the board, 5 posts and 4 hours of activity.
