Not sure what's going on for you guys with the no time or time stopped problems. I posted a couple things and went browsing the forum. No problems. I'm new to bitcoin, so I didn't run out of interesting things to read. (still haven't, in fact. Methinks I may have a new favorite forum!).
4 hours only seems long if you're watching the clock. If you're learning new things, it goes pretty quick.

For me it shows:
Total Time Spent Online: 40 minutes.
...and this is my very first post.
So you shouldn't have to have posted before it counts your online minutes.
HTH.

Second that! It starts counting from first log in, my first post just happened, and it says "total Time logged in 15 minutes"

So I've been logged in reading posts for quite some time, but just noticed that it shows my logged in time as 0 minutes...Does it only count logged in time from the time of the first post? (I read some comments that seemed to allude to that possibility).
Do you have cookies turned off? That might be a problem. This is my first post but I already see I have a total logged in time of 3 minutes.
Well, if that is the case..... doh! SMH

I want to get out of newbie status 
How these people that say they have been lurking for years have never been aware of the newbie limitations?
Time logged in has stopped going up? What is up with that?
Curse of the newbies
So how does this "Be 4 hours online" thing work exactly.
I've been browsing this forum the last couple of hours and only have:

Thanks for the advice 
I like the "Newbie" approach much much cleaner forum FTW 
Agreed. They should just make you solve a tonne of captchas.
very very hard
I have 7 posts and no way to post on other forum...

The 4 hour restriction is kind of silly. I spent probably 50+ hours lurking this site before creating an account, but have to leave my account logged in for 4 hours just so I can post in the auction threads 
+1
I see people saying the 4 hour restriction isn't a big deal because it gives you a chance to read some posts and learn more about cryptocurrencies. However, if you've already spent hundreds of hours reading posts before registering to post in a thread that's actually interesting and worth posting in, spending 4 hours "learning" is probably moot.
Do you get logged out after 15 mins? That is a really silly requirement.
kinda annoying
Newbie status is silly if you want to participate in auctions. I am interested in ASICMiner shares but can't bid or ask questions.
Agreed, I've been lurking and only registered now to post in a specific thread
