I think you have to have a minimum # of posts before you can vote in a poll and/or post pictures. Admin has it setup that way I think to discourage what we like to call trolls... haha
Ya its probably the 10 post rule. After you post 10 times alot more things are opened up for access to new members. Go back and try it again later. And check out the discussions in the "Planing An Arizona Meet" in the general forum to get to know us local guys.
