Why can't I post new threads?

[JewishGirl]

I don't know if this is going to get through because the last two threads I posted didn't, but why can't I post new threads. When I try I get "This page cannot be displayed". When I try again, it tells me that it is a duplicate of a thread I posted in the last 5 minutes but still won't display it.

[JewishGirl]

I would like to add that I have started new threads before, so it's not that I haven't reached a certain amount of posts yet.

[platinum786]

i have a similar issue

i cannot poist topic, yet can post replies.....

i was hoping to introduce myself.

[Mediocrates]

you need to accrue a minimum post count

[Lasbella]

you need to accrue a minimum post count

and that would be how much ? :D

[Babur]

15 i think. i can post now that ive passed 15:D

[platinum786]

thats a good system, we gotta set that up on our forum.

[MicroBalrog]

I have reached 20 posts, but I am still unable to start new threads in the Israeli Politics forum, is there a different minimum number of posts for different forums?

[sharonbn]

I have a similar problem....

[Roland]

I have a similar problem....
What? You? WAIT!!!
You have 1701 posts and moderator privileges and you still can't post new threads? :eek:
Wow. And I wonder why The Lounge has no moderators ...

[sharonbn]

its a glitch.

You are only a MircoBalrog. Needless to say grown up ones won't make a difference.
Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.
:D :D

[Roland]

Oh, I also have the sme problem, There is an amounjt of post before posting new thread?
Ye-es.
And it "glitches" back and forth mainly between 15 and 30, or so it seems.
Zero after vBulletin upgrades, 1000000 if your nick resembles LOTR-characters. :D
So be patient and keep posting.

[Annaliese]

I could post a new thread after 15 posts to other threads, but, since then, there was some tweaking of functions here. Perhaps that threw off any sort of automatic granting of the privilege to post new threads.

I've also noticed people still on "Trial Membership" status long after they would have moved to "New Member" status (and so on) after the new functions were implemented.

[The Baron]

Lower the number of post required to be a real member, for the love of g...

[dajudem]

I used to try to post here but I always got error messages. I tried contacting mods with pm's -- who said they could do nothing. I finally gave up. I am trying here again about a year later. Maybe that particular glitch has been solved. Or maybe I will get another error message...... I wonder....

[dajudem]

well, looky, looky, everybody. dajudem has finally arrived. Here is post #2, lol. Glad to finally meet yawl.

[DJ_Arc]

oh i see i need 15 posts :D okey :D

Dear Administrator,

Is there any idea how much more time I have before I can post a new thread?

Update: 7/25/06 I'm Free! I'm Free! Full Member....thank you.

[Leah]

I can't post new threads either - does that mean I have to post 15 times before I can post a new thread? Hmm new:O)

[Roland]

Yes. If not even more :D Welcome.

[BusinessStudent]

Is there some way that an admin or moderator can override this requirement for me?

I can of course find 15 things to post comments on, but I'm really here to help learn about Israel and Israeli culture for a comparative management class I'm taking in business school. I have to give a presentation tomorrow on Israel and cultural issues, business issues, etc. Basically everbody in the class had to pick a country to research and mine is Israel, but some questions I have can't be answered via simple google searches.

Any help is really really appreciated.

[Mediocrates]

no exceptions. sorry.

When I registered at this forum earlier today I was not aware that my membership would be on a "probationary" basis and I would not be allowed to introduce myself by opening a new thread until I had passed through a period of satisfactory posting.

I can understand the Administration's reluctance to let new members originate threads before it has been established that they are not spamsters, or much more seriously, not troublemakers who have sought out this particular forum in order to vilify the Jewish people.

But this rules out the opportunity for someone (like myself), who has joined the forum to learn more about Israel and Middle Eastern politics, to express an opinion on a topical issue. By the time I've accumulated enough postings for my participation here to be acceptable, what I'd like to say right now will be redundant.

I suspect the Israel Forum regulation affecting postings by new members will deter many from persevering and reduce the number of new people who have something thoughtful to say.

There are more than enough welcome-newbee-threads. If every new hello-I'm-new-here-message would generate a whole new thread, the forum would be flooded with threads instead of making single threads grow in length. That would be the original intention to organise postings in threads.

I can't imagine anything to be said, that would not fit into an existing category or thread. So your spontaniously given opinion is welcome - slighly hijacking or distracting existing discussions is tolerated, and a good discussion would find back to it's topic very fast - and you will be able to create a whole new thread anyway soon.

After a while, they all turn into normal members. It doesn't even stop some troublemakers.
If you think your message is so extremely important and urgent you can always contact a Moderator via PM to open a new thread for you. If your request is reasonable and your message indeed so alarming, I don't see why you'd be rejected.
Welcome!

Hello Roland: Thanks for your reasoned response.
Well, you are allowed to introduce yourself in an existing thread. There are more than enough welcome-newbee-threads. If every new hello-I'm-new-here-message would generate a whole new thread, the forum would be flooded with threads instead of making single threads grow in length. That would be the original intention to organise postings in threads.
I did not intend to start a "greetings" thread that merely wastes bandwidth and is unlikely to generate any interesting feedback. The forum would be swamped by lots of petty threads that lead nowhere if every newcomer sought to bypass the "trial period" by that means.

If you think your message is so extremely important and urgent you can always contact a Moderator via PM to open a new thread for you. If your request is reasonable and your message indeed so alarming, I don't see why you'd be rejected.
Welcome!
No, you are mistaken, I did not think my message was either "extremely important" or "alarming" - which suggests a certain self-assertive character to my observations.

What I had in mind was a thread that would discuss the strange death of impartial analysis among the British intelligentsia - at least when applied to the situation in Lebanon. That so many European intellectuals should abandon their liberal principles in responding to the crisis in Lebanon is, it seems to me, a "pregnant curiosity". Any other country (but Israel) on a permanent war footing and almost surrounded by enemies who believe it's their religious duty to throw its inhabitants into the sea, would, I'm sure, receive a far more sympathetic hearing from the "thinkers" of the Western world than is the case right now.

I can't say much more otherwise you might think I'm smuggling a thread into this place, where it doesn't belong.

Declan.

[Talitha]

Hi,

I wanted to open a new thread but could not do it, too. 15 posts are too much for people who do not post so often on the forum but once in a while.

[Rory Blackhand]

Could someone be so kind as to post this in the petitions thread for me? I do not need to be able to post new threads as long as someone would help me start this one.

I suggest the title of the thread be called "A Call to the UN to Provide Reparations for the Hezbollah War"

the link to the petition is here (http://www.petitiononline.com/IAUN1/petition-sign.html)

This is a small group of friends of mine that have some unusual ideas...fairness, justice, and morality. Israel was attacked by a terror group. Lebanon hosted that group, yet when it comes for reparations, there is no mention of Israel. What gives??? What about all the whining about proportional response? Are we going to pay for the terrorist supporting Shia community to get new houses without mentioning Northern Israel? Why the double standard? To my knowledge nothing like this has been done before. I was on vacation until Tuesday when I signed it at around 7k or so, as of this writing Thursday night it has over 40k signatures. We are hoping to get it to the Swedish Conference coming up next week. Please read the declaration, sign it if you agree, help spread it if you think it is a novel idea. If nothing else it provokes thought and points out the anti Israel mindset. Why is the defender not even offered reparations? Thanks.

To: United Nations

The Hezbollah War was brought on by a terrorist organization that hijacked the sovereign state of Lebanon, a member of the United Nations. Hezbollah, with the assistance of Iran and Syria, defied Security Council Resolution 1559 which, among other things, “Calls for the disbanding and disarmament of all Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias”.

Hezbollah launched this war against Israel, a democratic and sovereign state, and a member of the United Nations. Hezbollah is neither a state nor an official body belonging to one. Lebanon was to some degree an accomplice to its own loss of sovereignty by failing to act to protect it and failing to return to the Security Council for help. The UN Security Council failed to discharge its obligation. It allowed Hezbollah to entrench itself in Southern Lebanon and to spread its terror to the people of Lebanon.

Both Israel and Lebanon have suffered great loss of life as well as widespread physical damage as a result of this war started by Hezbollah. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the world community, which stood aside while Hezbollah armed and trained for war, to provide reparations for the damage and destruction brought on by the aggression which sprang from Lebanese territory. We therefore call upon that community to bear the cost of rebuilding Israel in addition to Lebanon. Israel, which had withdrawn from Lebanon some years ago, was forced to engage in a defensive war to save the lives of its citizens. We further call upon the world community, through the United Nations, to seek indemnification for the damages from Iran and Syria the controllers of Hezbollah.

I've been trying to open a new thread in the Religion/Culture section, but I still can't get beyond the "hanging" blank page problem when I submit my contribution.

Sheesh, I thought I was the only one. I've been trying to post a couple new threads for hours and I just come up with this:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

Use Firefox - muuuuch better than IE.
Free. $0.00.
Very customable.
Cool extentions: You can even crop all the annoying ads or slow logos from websites and read more content instead. Doubleclick any text that resembles an URL and it will open in a new tab or window. A nice FTP-client.

If you're using Google Web Accelerator try turning it off. Also turn off Firefox preloader if you have that. Flush all cookies all cache restart Firefox.

I'm sorry Declan. I suggest you try putting your thread in The Lounge.

The problem seems to be sporadic, not consistent. There are new threads being posted in that forum, including one today by Jorge.

Unfortunately, I don't know why it's happening, and I can't fix it.

Its a plot. I just tried to post a new thread and everything went fine. When I looked to see if it posted there was nothing there.

Same thing happend the other day.

I tried to post a thread in Anti-semitism...and it ended up in the lounge.

Sporadic? Maybe. Yesterday and today I have not been able post a new thread. The one I had in my mind concerned the Qualifying Round for the UEFA Euro Cup 2008. Israel has had an excellent start.
