I cant make new topics in the technology forum
« on: August 25, 2006, 05:25:32 AM »

Is there a reason for this? Or just a fault?

Thanks for any responses.

Hmm.  I made one just fine.  Of course, I can't delete it now (whoops) but try again.  Are you sure you clicked 'new topic?'

I think you have to have a certain amount of posts before you can post in technology.

Yes, it's one hundred posts. As I understand it, its purpose is to stop people from joining the forum only to get technological help or advice from us geeks. This way you have to express a profound interest for the forum before you get advice, or help or whatever. You gotta give before you can get, mate.
