Hi,

Not getting into the off topic might be considered lucky by some

I would think you would get more help if you posted in the questions and suggestions forum

It's probably because you just got your 20th post today.

Anyone know why the "off topic" forum is restricted and the others are not? I of course have not seen that forum yet so I was just curious. I would like to see it but I don't wanna spam 20 messages just to look.

terry, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to access the OT. All your permissions sets show that you have permission.

mauidude, the reason the OT is initially restricted is because we want to encourage new members to be here for the right reasons; props, costumes and models. The OT is solely here as a community builder, for members who have grown attached to the community to talk about other interests and aspect of their lives.

This is the reason why...

New Members are AUTOMATICALLY but NOT INSTANTANEOUSLY promoted after 45 days/20 posts

You made your 20th post at 5:20am and then started this thread six minutes later. As Art mentioned, you account shows that it has been upgraded.
