am I allowed to post?

I'll delete this (or someone else can) ... but there was a warning here a month ago about me not being allowed to post anymore. The warning seems to have vanished and I don't really know what it was about, but I also don't know if I'm still banned from posting.

Sorry, I feel stupid asking. If I'm still banned, just delete this, and I'll get the hint.

Thanks.

There was an issue with the board running out of server space, and we were all requested to stop posting until they could expand it.

That was done within a day or so. Everyone is free to post now.

Can't wait to see your next meta!
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

There's an unlikely second possibility that a Moderator (I don't recall it being me, but will take the blame) may have fat-thumbed a warning to you. I've seen (& been wary of) this tool when navigating the site.

Again, I doubt this happened & Barbara's explanation makes the most sense. However, should that have been the case, please ignore it & accept my apologies on behalf of all other mods.

I also apologize for not publicizing the all-clear from the other issue.

Your posts have been missed.

That's exactly what happened -- I remember how it went. Joe had posted the "no posts" message on all the threads, but perhaps you only saw the one on this thread, Brian, right after one of your own. I recall that your response was something like "Please tell me what I did wrong.... I won't do it again!...etc." I really wanted to let you know that it wasn't anything personal, but I couldn't post to do so. :P

You were guilty of posting great metas!
