You’ve been added to the adult member group. This is currently done manually, and there may have been some problems with the single sign on code messing up the group memberships.
Thank you. As a new user to the forum, and in the interest in site feedback, I just want to say it wasn’t very clear that I had to do this until @ChessEntrepreneur pointed it out for me. I realized I was new and thought I needed the “basic” badge, but once I got it, I still couldn’t post.
Perhaps there is, or should be, a “welcome to the forum, here is how it works” post that is mandatory reading for the new comer.
If there is, then I should get my eyes checked, because I missed it, and you can disregard my comment.
