Why can't I post on the buy/sell section?

I've been a member for months and I have the minimum number of posts.

What else does this site want from me before I can post on the buy/sell section?

I've had girlfriends less demanding than this...

 

You must have been a member for 14 days, not have an overall red reputation and have 25 total posts to post in the Buy, Sell or Trade forum (which includes link exchanges) or the Politics & Religion forum.

See posting guidelines.

 

I've been a member for over 30 days, I've posted 30 times (although some seem to have been removed).

 

I dont even see where the reputation is

 

I just gave you some positive rep, seeing as this post is a useful question, and one i am currently interested in as i want to post a thread in that section also, i almost have my 25 posts, infact this may be my 25th, i am hoping i dont have the same issue as you, but i will check back on this thread if i do to find out if there is some useful advice.
Also anyone reading this please check my post on RSS feeds and if you think it is useful information give me some positive Rep so i can post in the buy/sell section.

I have the same issue now, i was getting mad then i decided to check how long i have been registered, and its only 13 days lol. also another thing i noticed is how many posts it says on my posts in threads, and how many there are when i goto my profile and view my posts. the number is lower (no i haven't started any threads)

 

Hello Gents,

I too have added to both of your reps because I too want to post in the buy/sell section and this is a very good thread. Very informative. Thanks!

 

Click on the setting (at top right), then roll down to the end and you can find your reputation

 

Thanks gents. Rep returned.

Hopefully we can move on past this BS soon.
