Title: A Huge problem Post by: vukxfiles on November 07, 2009, 07:47:20 AM I'm new here, and I don't understand why I can't post links. When can I do this, because I really wanted to be a part of this forum, but if I can't do certain things that I can do on similar foums, than this is just a waste of excitement.
Title: Re: A Huge problem Post by: Andrew on November 07, 2009, 11:13:56 AM I'm afraid that new members cannot post links until they reach a certain number of posts. It's due to spammers, who have in the past registered an account and then posted spam links or even graphic pornographic pictures.
Just post for a little bit and you'll be able to post links. I promise you it's not a lot of posts. The reason it's there is to discourage spammers is all, and they usually give up if they cannot post links after a handful of junk posts (and the junk posts usually help us flag them as a possible spammer). Title: Re: A Huge problem Post by: vukxfiles on November 07, 2009, 03:53:57 PM I see. I was just hugely disappointed, because I wanted to post some VHS covers on the topic of the same name, and because I wanted to put an avatar on my profile.

I think in about 6 posts you'll be able to upload an avatar. :smile: Title: Re: A Huge problem Post by: vukxfiles on November 07, 2009, 04:41:25 PM I have more than 6 posts now, and I still can't find a way to upload an avatar or add personal information on my profile :bluesad:

I believe it's 10 posts, then you can upload your own avatar. :smile: Title: Re: A Huge problem Post by: vukxfiles on November 07, 2009, 04:53:02 PM Then let this be the 10th post
(please don't consider it spamming) Title: Re: A Huge problem Post by: vukxfiles on November 07, 2009, 04:57:27 PM It didn't work. I go to PROFILE, and under Modify Profile there's only Account Related Settings. I go there and there's nothing for uploading avatars, or writing personal info like my birthday. :bluesad:
Title: Re: A Huge problem Post by: Psycho Circus on November 07, 2009, 05:04:25 PM Ah well, the 'ol rules and such have changed because of spammer, so I'm not to sure then what the number of posts required is at the moment.
Title: Re: A Huge problem Post by: vukxfiles on November 07, 2009, 05:11:37 PM Sorry guys for the whole mess I made, looks like the required number of posts is 11. Again, sorry. Hope to make new friends here, so see you guys at the forums. :wink:
