Hi Stephana,
Welcome to PA first of all.
You have written in the Suggestion Box sub-forum which is for suggestions to make the site better. General Discussion which you will see is under
Forum, is for discussion which doesn't include pictures, the
Gallery is for posts that include pictures, and for problems with registration you post in
New Users & Registration Problems. It doesn't matter at all though if you post in the wrong sub-forum, as you are new here, (should have seen me here when I was new)!
Like Ailsa said, you should be registered already if you can post here, the link I think was just a link to confirm that you were activated, even though it did not work for, it must have as you are able to post.
Hope all that made sense!
