Hello, I just created my forum account and wanted to post in another thread; however, I only receive an error saying I do not have permission, and this is due to my account being locked or not activated.

I doubt it's the former since the account is just a few minutes old, and am unsure if it's the latter, as I have not gotten any sort of confirmation email to 'activate' it. Is there an extra step I need to do to open up privilege's to post in other threads?
