I did say at the end of my post ' I could be wrong though and it looks like I was right to say that then. Well done me.Sorry, but you are wrong. There was no notification on my first or any other post otherwise this unfortunate situation would not have occurred. When new people join you cannot assume that they know your rules or what a code means if it is on an avatar. I suggest when selecting the registration button a message should say something like "registration will give you 'xxx' posts in a forum" then we invite you to subscribe. I did see a registration fee but thought that might refer to rallies. Because it was not evident, it was up to me to guess.
