If memory serves me, you need to ask for posting privileges through email. It's a way to limit autobots creating free test accounts and post a crap load of <insert your fav hated posting here>.

Thanks. After a small internet search the other night, I wondered about that as it seemed some said they did and others that disputed it. So, I opened a support ticket about it and it seems to lead to a black hole. Maybe they will get back to me - I don't have high hopes after some of the experiences I have had with two other potential providers. I guess I just did not put much faith in the one that said permission was needed as it seemed like reading *and* posting were just a natural part of the whole deal. <SHRUG>
Maybe I need to look their pageS over better and see if I see another email address or contact of some sort by slim chance.
Thanks again.
