We are aware that you have to log out first to be able to see other parts of the forum. Although a nuisance for brand-new members, it is that way on purpose. Until Ben has completed a new member's registration and has verified that they are who they say they are and not a spammer or hacker (which we have had problems with before), it prevents people from being able to make any posts on the forum anywhere except in the 'getting started' section. This is for the protection of all the members here on the forum. Hope you understand.
