Sorry for this senseless thread, just wanted to try it. When trying to reply i get

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Tried to contact someone with the rights to confirm my account, but no success.

Odd. I can reply here, but not on other threads.

You have checked the spam section of you email? The confirmation mail may be there.

Gunni, your "Hi" post may not get anyones attention. Try making a new post with a title like "Moderator, please help!". Then one of the forum's moderators can respond.

BWUHAHAHA YOU ARE TRAPPED IN THIS THREAD!!!! Welcome to the forum though, I am sure someone will be along sometime to untrap you from your box.

Re: Hi
 
there should be a option to resend the confirmation mail somewhere, try to look for it...

You could also try signing out and then clicking on the "Forgot Password" link. I don't know the inner workings of this forum to know if it would help, but that's what I would try.

Re: Hi
 
Thanks for all your help. Forgotten password was a nice idea, but still no success.
I know "Hi" is no good topic ... to late can not edit it, but on posting i just thought "Hey, i can post something, so only try if it works" and not thought about a better topic.
I will wait some time, maybe a mod sees my post :(

I've seen it, but I'm unable to spot a problem with your account. I'm new to being a vBulletin moderator though, so I may be missing something obvious.

To the best of my knowledge (and unless something has changed recently), you should be able to reply in threads created by others without confirming your email address. Other new members certainly have.

Have you tried (and failed) posting in multiple other threads or just one? If just one, which one is it?

Greetings new user!

You are experiencing a new feature, the New User Pilot Posting Program (NUPPP). This has been implemented to reduce the number of spam postings from unenlightened newbies (or NUPPPers as we call them here).

Your posts will be confined to this thread until you reach the minimum threshold of 500 posts and/or 250 Thanks, which ever comes first.

We look forward to your graduation day. Very soon we will follow up with the New User Graduation Announcement Program (NUGAP), where posts will be automagically added to a New User Announcement thread for all members to enjoy.

We appreciate your contribution to a spam-free posting experience!

Also soon to come: Spam thread reduction, especially targeting those started by new users.

No wonder Texrat has over 7k posts... ;)

But, I similarly just recently registered and was trying to look for my signature edit link.. turned out I needed 5 posts before that appeared. Might be something similar here?

Re: Hi
 
@Textrat: :)
@all the others:
I cant reply to different threads. I can create new topics, and reply to this thread. I will try again, but dont think it works.

My new job is making me insane. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

OOHH. That makes a lot of sense, I like it.
