When I was a a newbie I could look at the main forums but not post in them but now as a proper member I can't look at the newbie forum without the pain of logging out. Can't you make it so that the proper members can look at what the newbies are saying without allowing us to post in there. Its just I'm bored and have nothing better to do with my days than see what they're saying...

Tried clearing your cookies? Then come back on the site see if that works. I can see them, but not reply.
There was a thread yesterday about someone having the reverse problem to nealn - the situation you describe - who wanted newbie threads removed from his new posts search ''cos they were annoying.Number7 said:
In the replies it suggested that people's user status was all over the place but they would wait before trying a global reset or summat like that. It could be that I like number7 am set one way and you another.
One quick idea - come onto site without logging in - and browse the newbie - log-on when you want to post in main.

Thats what I have been doing but prefer to keep logged on all the time as I'm the only user on my computer and logging out and then on all the time is annoying.
Its not a major problem or anything. Just something I'd like to be able to do.

You should be able to view the newbie but not post.
Let us know what the situation is now.
I think once you reach so many posts you become a full member of the forum, however once that happens you can no longer see the newbie forum. I suppose it's something that could be changed and your idea of letting full members into the newbie has been discussed, but without Nialls confirmation I'm not going to tinker around with anything.

I can't look at it. I don't wish to post as I understand a key reason the newbie forum exists is to allow newbies to settle without the more experienced dominating topics and intimidating the newbies. I just want to see what they're talking about without logging out because there are some interesting topics in there.
