Hey, I'm a bit confused, how do I as a new user get access to all the forums?
Hey NS:
If you read the rules posted at the beginning of this thread, you will have your answer. Here is a snippet
Everyone that joins our Village Discussion Forum is automatically a "Newly Registered Member" (RNU) -- a subcategory to "Registered Members", which is what you became upon registering and authenticating your email. RNUs have limited access to the various discussion and posting forums. RNUs also have limited function controls, which includes the inability to post in any forum without a moderator first approving their post. To become a fully Registered Member and lose the RNU designation, a number of posts must first be reviewed and approved by the moderators (remember to read our rules before posting!) upon which time the board settings automatically remove the RNU restrictions. The number of posts for which approval is required may vary from time to time depending upon the level of spambot attacks we're getting, but is generally between 2 and 5. However, we recommend posting a few more than the threshold limit as we may delete topic entire threads for various reasons, and if you're at that threshold and your post gets deleted, you drop back down to NRU status.
