Umm I can't find you on the list of members vic. Did you make sure you confirmed your registration? I don't think you can access the forums until you confirm your sign up. You should get an email saying to confirm. After that it should be good. Other than that..did you make sure you put the right email address down? Hope this helps.
Thats strange. When I signed up they sent an email to my email account and you just had to click on a link within the email and that confirmed your email address and gave you access. Maybe try signing up again?
