This is a bit of a me-too post as I thought I was going batsh*t-crazy at not finding a "reply" button on the forum that I need to post in!
Just for anyone who can actually post, the BTC-Oxygen site is not allowing sign-ins, but is at last handing out and accepting work again.
I just cannot get the site to let me in.
I understand this policy of stopping people blitz-posting and blocking up threads with spam, but even using the forum search option it took me ages to work out why I cannot post. This was a really frustrating and pointless exercise.
Please either make it clear during signup that newbies will not actually be able to do anything useful until they have kicked around the Newbie Area wasting time (4hrs) and effort (5 posts about what...?). OR, put a "restricted" tag or something similar next to their login so that new recruits will not waste time trying to find out why stuff doesn't work...
...or is that the plan? To make noobs more self-reliant...?
Cunning...
Awesome even...
