I registered, but never received a confirmation email (was I supposed to?) and, yes I registered using the email address linked to my EA/Origin account. The entire forum is read-only to me, there are no 'post new topic' buttons anywhere, all I can do is read.
Yes, I've emptied the cache.
Yes, I've tried another browser (3 in fact - Safari, Chrome and Firefox).
I've even asked on other Sims fora, but people don't seem to grasp the fact that there's no 'new post' button, because the replies all seem to assume I'm thick for not seeing it - "it's a big blue button in the top right corner" No, there IS no "big blue button in the top right corner", if there was, I'd not be asking where it was, would I...?!
I can't reply to posts, either - it's like I've been banned without ever posting!
Any help...? Please...?
