There are a few possible reasons

1) You are trying to post in The Craic or Letting Off Steam
These are restricted to Frequent Posters only. You are not allowed to post on these forums until you have had 51 posts elsewhere and been a member for 30 days.

2) You have not registered
You must be registered to post on all forums except this one.

3) The thread to which you are trying to reply has been locked.
Occasionally, moderators close threads.

If you can't post and yet everyone else can, then it is a problem at your end, rather than a problem with Askaboutmoney.

Don't forget, Askaboutmoney is not a commercial site. It is run by volunteers. So please do not email me asking me for ideas. I simply do not have the time to solve what are user errors.

If you still have problems after studying this thread, you can post a question here without registering. If you can't post in this thread, then it is user error. Get a friend of yours with some IT experience to check what you are doing.

Don't just say "Help. I can't post".

Make sure you are logged in as a user.

Give the following information:

  • The name of the forum you are trying to post in
  • Whether you are trying to start a new post or to post a reply
  • The error message you are getting

Some other things to try

1) Try posting from another pc
You may have viruses on your pc which are interfering with your ability to post or stay logged in. Go to another pc and see if it works.

2) Some employers block access to Askaboutmoney
Try accessing it from an internet café.

3) Try a different browser
If you are using Internet Explorer, you may have some setting which is causing you problems. Download Firefox and see if you can access it.
