When I tried to reply to my own thread, it said that an administrator would have to approve my message? It makes no sense, it is frustrating. I want people to respond lol.

you need to be approved first by admin. or moderator. It's just a way to keep spammers off forum. Be patient

Well I was approved the day after I joined, or so I thought. Before I was approved I could not even post, reply, look at profiles, or message anyone.
Now I can do everything, the only issue I have had was when I was trying to post a reply on my own thread.

I realized after the second time I posted that I had already tried to post and it gave me the same message and forwarded me back to the main page.... I am so confused!

I noticed there is an administrator online (well a bit earlier) will the approve my post or is something wrong with my post? It was a strange thing.

Hi Jennifer,

When a new member signs up here their account must be manually approved...we do this to cut down on spam. Once approved...wegive new members theright to view and post, but not to put links in their posts.. This is also done to cut down on Spam, porn, and viruses. Once a member has shown that they are a real person and not a spammer or Bot... all permissions are given.

Its a lot of work on our end and can be frustrating onthe new members side of things ..but we think this system is best at this time.

Your posts needed to be approved because you had links inthem...I approved them so you should be all set
now....Sorry if it frustrated you.

HTH,
