Cannot join forums

[Guest Dagian]

Keep trying to join the forums but keep getting an error message about not letting in anyone under the age of 18. However, I’m in my 40’s lol. Is the read only situation extending to the forums as well? 

[Melrick]

Strange, I have no idea why it would be doing that.  I approved someone else to join the forum today so that appears to be working okay.

[Guest Dagian]

Tried it again and this time seem to have been successful, now I’m just waiting on the approval process. It’s validated my email etc though. *crossing fingers*

[Guest Dagian]

Still awaiting the email approval…

I just approved you now.

[Dagian]

Thank you so much Melrick!  

[Melrick]

You’re very welcome 

[Guest Buford2]

I’m having trouble joining too.

[Melrick]

What exactly is the problem you’re having?

[Guest Buford2]

The same problem Dagian had, apparently.

[Melrick]

There’s nothing showing at my end, and I changed nothing for that person; it apparently fixed itself.  I have no idea at all why it might be doing that, so the only thing I can think of is to keep trying.

Do you have an archive account? I’m not finding one with any variation of your guest name.

[Guest Buford2]

No, I don’t.

I’m having trouble joining that, too.

The Archives are still in read only mode, so it’s not possible for new users to register at this point. But since an Archive profile is a requirement for forum registration, perhaps that’s causing you to be unable to sign up for the forum. But I’m not sure, since Melrick is in charge of forum registrations.
