I have over fifty posts, but I still can't make a post on Share Your Work. Why is this?

Log out, clear your cookies, and log back in.

Sometimes it just takes a while for the server to update your account.

Quoth Medievalist:

There's a script that runs on the server once an hour that updates members.

Generally, the transition is smooth, but evilRooster's suggestion [log out of your account and then log back in] is reasonable; I'd try it.

I don't think you understood the procedure then, because you've been logged in the entire time.

1. Log off by clicking the Log off link at the top right of AW.

2. Delete your AW Cookies.

3. Quit the browser.

4. Log back in again.

If waiting the hour it may take for the script that updates users to run is so detrimental to your health, your peace of mind as a writer is likely to be fractured on a daily basis. Writing and publishing is all about the wait.

This thread will likely help somebody else having a similar issue :) Welcome to AW, btw.

Give the system a little time to catch up with you, CC. If you aren't in by tomorrow, just clear your cookies and log back in. It should work then.
