I get an error message that says:

"You are not allowed to post links, emails or phone numbers for 7 days from the date of your tenth post."

whenever I try and post a new thread. What's this about please?

EDIT:

Here's the text I'm trying to post in the TOAW IV forum. It doesn't contain any phone numbers, emails or links.

"I'm having fun playing this scenario as the Free World side, but am having difficulty managing supply and unit readiness.

Many areas I seem to be fighting are in overextended supply situations as the only supply sources are some provincial capitals and the supply radius seems to be very small. I'm also having difficulty working out how to use the motor and riverine supply units.

Any other players have tips on how to manage overextended supply and how to use these supply units please?"

Thanks - I see that now. I'm actually a long-term forum member, but just haven't posted for some time. I guess that means my account has been reset and my post count is now zero. That would also explain why my joining date is today.

you maybe need to ask support, as you may have the wrong name / nick etc or another account etc

Thanks. I was able to log in with my old credentials, so I assume my account was suspended due to inactivity.

I thought you had to wait for two weeks after your tenth post for the restrictions to be lifted?

EDIT: ah, now I see that it's a week you need to wait.
