I recently tried to respond to a thread only to be informed "I did, nt have enough privileges" to do so. How do I gain such privileges?

Quite a few of us don't have access to the DIY forum.

Try again later, it may have just been a glitch.

It was actually a post on this forum entitled "Main bonding on incoming plastics pipes". He did, nt get many replies and appealed for more so I decided to pitch in my tuppence worth and was surprised to get the response about lack of "privileges". Any way, not losing sleep about it?

I have brought this to the attention of the forum persons. I think I must have said the wrong thing as I got told off. So I just let it go, there is no answer to this problem and seeking one may cause problems.

Yes. My main reason for responding was because the forum itself encourages giving replies to unanswered threads. Plus the OP himself made a, second appeal for more opinions. Having been informed I "did, nt have enough privileges", I went into "menu" to try and find out how to rectify this, but could, nt find any info in there on the subject. Anyway I, m sure it's something that will receive attention in due course

You need to ask the mods if you can have access to the DIY section.

Indeed, IIRC Dan got a bit sick of every DIY post being met with a symphony of 'Get an Electrician' so now only those who request can respond in there.

6 months ago, I believe Dan and Lou were both really busy. Volunteering somewhere in response to Covid.
