Public profile viewing and post count

[Nohbody]

2 things:

1) When I try to view a public profile (even my own), I'm told that I don't have permission to do so.

Is this one of the things that are a setting for the "fresh meat" user group, or is there some kind of error.

2) Are there some forums where posts don't count for the postcount? I've posted once in the newbie intro subforum, and once in the main CS subforum, but my post count (prior to this, anyway) is 1 post.

I'm not some postcount whore or anything like that, and not counting some posts doesn't make me want to go all homicidal or whatnot, I'm just curious.

You are still on new user moderation.

Once you meet the preset criteria, you will automatically have access to everything.

Posts only count in the main forums.

Off topic posts do not count toward the total.
