Go to introductions and say welcome to 32 members

The 50 count Stops New Members from spamming PM's.

No, it's a procedure with a good reason. Thanks for the warning, though.

Starting with a complaint is not generally good.

Oops, now I can't see OP's posts!

Hi Schwinn70s. Welcome to BF. You can up your post count by letting us know about your bike build. And posting pics. Also at the bottom right of your reply screen is an option to "Reply with Quote" which you can use to let someone know that you've replied to their comment on a thread. This helps with the flow of conversation. How's your build coming along? Where did you get your bike from? We like to read the stories!

Just don't start a new thread for each question about a single bike. That drives me crazy.
