Misleading posting permission information

[mythdragon]

$vbulletin->userinfo[username], you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Usually this is due to you not having the particular game registered on your forum account. For example to post in or download from the HOI3 Sub forums (AAR ,User made Modification, FAQ, Support ...), or to Start a new thread in the HOI3 discussion forum, you need to have HOI3 registered under your forum account. See this thread for How & Why to register your games
Additionally, If you are a new member that has not registered a game you may be required to wait 5 days before posting (anti spam measure).

When I registered to forum I did registered game (several of them to be sure) and still I wasn't able to post (in any sub/forum). So this information that are provided to new members are outdated, or you have some issues with forum.

By that time I had issue, fortunately I was able to fix it myself.

When I tried to report issue with email to forum administrator, email provided by same note that contained misleading information that I speak of - I got auto response. Seriously why do even provide email if you are going to send back auto response with FAQ. To be clear auto response contained "true" administration email but at that point I give up. On retrospective I think that it was goal of it, goal to discourage potentially unwanted customer (unwanted because I already bought game/s).

BTW, your registration process is tiresome, pick a game from randomly sorted list and then enter a cdkey.

Hi Sorry you had an issue.
We are constantly trying ot improve the experience you have on the forums, thank-you for the feedback.

In order to solve any conflicts in permissions I would need more information, we recently changed the way access worked and some issues still need to be corrected, Which sub forums that you had the base game registered were you not able to access.
Also you mention that you were able to solve the issue yourself, how?

In any event I hope now that you have passed the initial hurdle of registration you can relax and enjoy your time here.

Sorry to butt in, but, where is the misleading part?

Sorry, I had issue with game - that issue I fixed myself. But before that I was trying to get help on forums.
I wasn't able to post in any forum or sub forum that I registered(game) I still had to wait 5 days.
Sorry for misunderstanding.

Additionally, If you are a new member that has not registered a game you may be required to wait 5 days before posting (anti spam measure).

From provided information I had impression that IF I register a game then I would be able to post right away. Therefore, I call it misleading. It may be that I read to much in to it, as I'm not native English speaker.

Sorry to butt in, but, where is the misleading part?

As above.

Yes it may have been misleading in your case, but it is the way it is supposed to work. So that others do not experiance this can you tell me which sub forum you could not access?

 

[mythdragon]

I was able to access every game forum that I had registered cd key for it. (But to be honest I'm not sure about that - simply I don't remember...)
Thing that I was unable to do was that: I couldn't post, or make a new thread. In any forum or sub forum.
Quoted message in OP appeared to me when I was trying to post.
Again sorry for misunderstanding, I should be more clear about it.

Very strange, sounds more like you had not confirmed your e-mail at the time, or there was some delay with updating your account to reflect that.
