Can not post a new thread

I am a newbie and trying to post my first thread in the Malware Removal forum. But I get a message saying Invalid Thread specified. I clicked on the Administrator link but did not see what I am doing wrong. Please help.

 

Welcome to MajorGeeks

 

jeez, same here

 

Hey Halo,

Okay, thank you !

Kind regards,
Casper

 

Ihave the same problem. It says

"Invalid Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

Now if that is due to some spam filter, it would be very nice if the message said so instead...

UGH

 

Your post is now viewable in the Malware Forum.

 

Well it was not when I posted here (I did check a few times with Shift-Reload), and the post in the Malware Forum was not my first post where I had included all the log files etc. Is this a bug or a 'feature'?

 

:wave and welcome to MG's..

you post with attached logs are in the malware forum.

Your first post included attachments/links. By default that requires validation by a moderator, which I have now done and deleted the 5 repeat posts you also made. It is a 'feature' in that it protects our members from the hundreds of spams that we as moderators get to see every day, and you as members don't have to suffer. Waiting a short while for your first post to be validated is far more preferable than wading through the tons of spam you would otherwise get if this 'feature' was not in place, and the possibility of clicking on bad links and files that would lead to members getting infected with malware. As I said, it is now available for viewing

 

Hey Lev,

But in my case it wasn't :confused

Halo already explained why yours got caught. You posted exactly the same thing in multiple forums - which is exactly what spammers do - so hence it got caught.

 

That's a negative.
It was my first thread (without attachments), that couldnt be posted.
After that I tried it couple times, still the same message.
Then, maybe, it's posted multiple times, but therefor it isnt called spam...
Maybe you got a spamfilter installed, but its weird if my first topic cant be posted.
