Changing Hexus Settings

[arian]

When I try to change General Settings in my Settings page, I get told I don't have permission to access the page. How do I get permission?

You might want to try now, your initial post was held for moderation.

Thanks for your reply, but nah, no change.

Not sure why my initial post being held for moderation is relevant.

what are you trying to set up?

Because you are in a separate group in moderation, and some facilities depend on your user group. And user groups depend on things like post count. For example, you can't set up an Avatar as a new member, you need 500 posts. You can't send Private Messages until you have 15 posts, so facilities to set those up won't be available.

500 sounds kinda a lot just for the avatar tho.. cant it be like.. 100?

I'm trying to change General Setings. If I remember correctly, that is where vBulletin offers Thread Display Options.

Thanks for the explanation. Is my Group not allowed to alter General Settings?

Edit: Should've checked before I posted. I can now play with the Options to my heart's content . Thanks to whoever sorted it.

I don't think anyone sorted it as such, it was a result of you moving from the moderated group! Glad it's all working for you now.

I just signed up too, and I can't check my settings either. I just want to make sure I'm not subscribing to every single thread I post in.
