On 19OCT I got a Welcome to CBoard email from Alex, and in that mail he listed a link to CBoard's Forum Guidelines and suggested I study them before posting. However, clicking that link ended with "Page not found" every time I tried it.
I then began searching for those Guidelines around CBoard. Nothing was found, until one day I navigated along this path: Home=>TechBoard. And there I notice--5 lines--above the TechBoard heading I spot: "Announcement: Forum Rules: FAQ", for which the final three txt-elements and the colon are indicated to be a link. I click it.
My view then becomes a Forum Rules FAQ post by Admin kermi3, in which he provides four questions with answers. kermi3 then closes his post with an info-statement reading, in part: "See below for more detailed forum guidelines and our ... ." I then halt reading to "look below", but see nothing to pursue, because I am attracted to the "guidelines" link! So I click it; and, am presented the following vBulletin Msg:

notacoder, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

  1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.



Not a friendly set of Guidelines, at all. So I bailed out.
But I still wish to read the Forum Guidelines, so if any moderator / administrator / of if the webmaster himself will guide me to them, I will appreciate the service.
Until then,I remain;
