The quoted message at the bottom of this post describes how new member introductions used to work, but that has changed.
In order to have your account upgraded and be able to access all the forum areas on GFXVoid you need to post a new discussion thread in our Introductions forum.
Posting into this thread or in other threads which are not your own will no longer work for activating and unlocking the rest of the forums for new accounts (you will receive a no permissions message if you try).
You are welcome to post messages into introduction threads made by other members, but will only be able to do so after your own account is activated/upgraded.
This change was made on May 5, 2010.
