But that's what's weird ...I wasn't posting a url...just post asking about cancelling and rebooking. I'm going back to UA forum and to try again...fingers crossed.
Thanks for responding!

Still won't let me post on the UA forum...its just a question about cancelling and rebooking and this is the message I keep getting: You are not allowed to post URLs until you have at least 5 posts
Well I tried to post the question to this forum but no go...thinking it must be my computer? Anyway this will be my 5th post sooo maybe it solves the prob...

can I post a link to a new points blog
I've been a member of FT for awhile but haven't posted much. Will I be able to post a link to a new points blog in any of the forums? Thanks,

No hyperlinks for new/low-post-count members...

Same problem as Anita 46. How do I just post , as opposed to accidentally posting a url?
I can like other posts in the string of interest and I can/did post to newbie roll call, but when I try to post in the thread of interest, I get the error.

I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask this - how do I become an established community member? How many posts in order to reach that? Help please.

Becoming "established member" / remove the 5 Private Message per 24 hrs limit?.
