Levels of Registration

We have several different levels of registration here in the forums.

As a Guest (non-registered Visitor) you can view many of the forums, threads and posts. You will see 2 columns of advertisements, one on the left and one on the right.

As a Registered Member, you can view all of the forums, threads and posts, including a couple private forums for higher ranking members. Active Registered members (5+ posts) do not see advertisements in the right hand column when they are logged in.

Ground Level Lurkers - newly registered (or inactive) members with very few posts have limited access to features & are unable to send Private messages. (This is for

prevention) .

Registered Members with more than 5 Posts - Are considered to be ACTIVE MEMBERS. Active Registered members have additional abilities granted to them as they reach higher post counts.

Some of these features include:

Ability to PM other Users
Additional Private Message Space
Additional Photo Sizes
Access to Albums Feature
Access to Custom Usergroups
Email Features such as email a friend
Additional Posting/editing Features
Additional Calendar Features
Increase in Signature features

Members with 25+ Posts:

Our Referral board becomes available (for sharing points, winzy, , blinko, etc) as well as the Coupon Swap and Trade board.

The above listed features increase again.

In addition, Budget101.com Forums Offers the 'Experience Shop' in which members can earn points for free items just for being a valuable member of the community! It's our way of saying

I am just waiting to my posts to be approved

My newbie intro hasn't been approved yet nor have any of my repsones in other posts. It is just a little frustrating to get higher registration when I can't really post anything yet. Oh well hopefully soon.

Thanks, I was wondering why I couldn't post at certain threads.

The only forum where posting is disabled for newbies is the referral forum, which (currently) requires a minimum of 25 posts. All other forums are open for posting, but to prevent spam & help people gain confidence in posting in the correct forums, all new members are briefly moderated.
