New Member--how to post

[dlcarver]

I don't feel that the site is made for beginners. Let me first say that I have been trying for 2 days now to post a"Hello, and glad to be aboard" message. I do a lot of things on my computer, but I would not consider myself "computer wise". I thought I better take advantage of this moment as I may never see it again. I just stumbled into this. SO !
A big hi to everyone and hope to get to know some of you !
Cheers DAVE

Hi Dave,
Welcome! I'm glad you got to post!
Did you get the e-mail where I offered to
walk you through the process over the phone?

If you don't mind me asking, what part hung you up?

Best regards,
Bob Duncan

Do you have a 'how to' on posting messages. How would you go about it if you wanted to send a new post advising people that you are a new member on the system. Thanks

Hey Bob. Aren't the new members first few posts delayed to insure that they are not going to post crazy stuff?? Seems I remember having trouble when I first joined and that was the reason given.

Short answer...sometimes...

I'm not sure what the criteria the site has set up...I think it has to do with posting links off site...But I haven't figured the logic out. All I know is sometimes when I come in, I have to approve a few automatically moderated posts...

Hello friends,
This is Sarfaraz from India, a wood carver of architectural wood carvings. I will be in Canada, Ontarion, London for some time in early July. I wish to meet other carvers and wish to share thoughts. Is it possible?
Anyone who is intrested in meeting with a carver from other country may contact me.
