Your email address has not yet been validated.

When you registered, you should have gotten an email with a code in it that you need to enter to verify that the email address is valid.

If you did NOT do this, you will see this when you try to post:

Quote:
<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td class="alt2" style="border: 1px inset ;"> [username], you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

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?

If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation. </td> </tr> </tbody></table>
Please check your spam or junk folder to see if the email is in there. If not, you can request that it be sent again by going to this link:

http://sheltieforums.com/register.php?do=requestemail

and entering the email address that is CURRENTLY on your profile. If you're not sure what that is, you can go to your User CP and check.

The verification email is titled "Action Required to Verify Membership for Sheltie Forums" and says:

<table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr> <td class="alt2" style="border: 1px inset ;"> Dear [username],

Just follow the instructions in the email, and that should turn your posting privileges on.
