certain areas have had a certain amount of access prohibited to full memberships for several reasons. buy-sell-swap,
anyone can go in and see whats being offered/sold etc but only certain members can actually post in that forum. it has been this way for several weeks now i think. you would be better contacting admin with any questions, rather than asking the boards? i do know that many folk were only using the forum to sell free. but never made any other posts on the site or contribute in any way. while others used it simply to notify people of stuff “they” were also selling on ebay. there are more reasons, but those come to mind.
