I have a free hosted site but can’t access admin functions?

If you visit https://id.discourse.com, can you log out and then log back in with the email you used to sign up for the site?

I’m logged in with a valid account but I don’t think it’s the main admin account. I can’t use any moderator functions. I created a new post but it is hidden awaiting review. If I logout I don’t have an option to login as another one that might be the admin one.

Yes! Got out and back in again as admin. Now I can operate! Thanks.

are you logging in with the same account you signed up with? what functions are you trying to access? where are you getting stuck?
