What's happening when you try to post?

I just posted and didn't have a problem. Cabo I see you just joined, but Helene I don't see you on the membership list. Maybe you need to reregister.

Same here. I'll try again.

Still the same message as above. The site welcomes me as cabo35 and suggests I am logged is as "log out" tag is active.

Oh, I think I know the reason... if you registered from the link that TH gave you, it is an admin link, I THINK?? The same thing happened to me so I connected to the forum directly rather than the link and then registered. Try that and see if it works. My thought was that I was in an admin link and that's why I wasn't allowed to post.

If I solve this, I will be totally amazed!!

Same thing here for me.

Tal...I had the same problem...checked my e-mail and sure enough there was a note from the Plant City site advising me to click a link. As soon as I did...I was in and posting. Hope it works for you.

I had to really search for Plant City on my FL map..... it's west of Lakeland and looks like a very small town. I was just wondering why you didn't choose a much larger city like perhaps Lakeland for a forum, from a business point of view?

Anyway, I'll be glad to join your new forum - I was interested in Lakeland as a relocation destination, before I learned about TV.

You post a good question. Plant City is a very tight knit community. It appealed to us because of its unique nature. Everybody knows everybody. There is a very active chamber of commerce, the high school students still call adults "sir" and mam". There is a huge Future Farmers of America club, the growers are enormous supporters of the community. Recently there was a $100 a ticket fundraiser sponsored by Plant City Rotary Club. There were 1,300 people in attendance. (I was there) That's $130,000 raised by by Rotary for that little community. We plan to expand to other cities, like Lakeland. We have a very good experience in The Villages with TOTV, but it's not a city like Plant City and we want to get our feet wet first. Eventually, we plan to have forums like these in communities all across North America with the opportunity for each of them to be independent entities, but with the option for members to tie to each or any of the other community forums. It will be a huge community forum network.
We really appreciate your participation in TOTV and your interest in our overall project.

I think these forums provide an excellent public service to the communities plus valuable information to wannabees (like me). There is an excellent local forum for my town if you or anyone is interested or curious :

I'm so busy with TOTV and a couple other forums I like, most of the time I forget to check on my local one

I went through the e-mail from the PlantCityForum e-mails already to activate a few days ago when I first went on PlantCityForum.
