Graytech, unless the rules have changed, a Registered Member has 0/1 messages. A Newbie has 2-29 messages. An Active Member has 30 or more. You need to contact Nelson and get your current status corrected to Newbie. Or if you make a donation, you would go to Premium. I think that either change would fix your access problem. And Premium would also allow you to create a new thread and list sell or trade as well as buy in the appropriate Fora.
