Good explanation, Davey. Maybe you can put this in a new thread with appropriate subject line and pin it to the top of this section?
I just got a New Posting email about this zombie thread. Did something crawl out from under a bridge?
I signed up today with a new email address, and for some reason I do not see the "post a new thread" link anywhere. In the jewelry forum, there was a note that said "you don't have sufficient privileges to post here."
You registered with an IP from St Louis but your post is an IP from Paducah, both in different States, maybe the forum security is not recognizing your IP's or you used differing email addresses.
OK, I guess that's because I was using a VPN when I re-registered today with another email. Thank you. I will keep trying.
