General forum question..

Euphanism

How come I'm not able to post links in my posts, the reason I get for this is 'You are a new member'.. but look at my join date

Also, if this is in the wrong place please move it, I looked but I couldn't find anywhere relevent to put this.

there's a qualifying number of posts before you can post links

no idea what it is

Euphanism

Yeah I guessed at that and posted up to 10 to see.. I'm guessing it's 50 now.

I think it goes on the number of post counts not start date, as under your name it has "moneysaving newbie", when you go past a certain number of posts that changes and you should be able to post links - you'll just have to post more on the forums.

Euphanism

Anybody have any idea what the post count needed is? I've read through the rules and FAQ's and can't find anything.

Keep talking to us, you'll soon get your postcount up!

Oh, and the most appropriate area for this would have been the Site Feedback section. Just so as you know for next time!!! :D

Euphanism

OK thanks alot Tigster, I'm usually pretty active on whatever forums I sign up on anyway.

The reason I ask is because I have about 60 different freebie offers that haven't been posted on this forum yet and am quite keen to get involved

It's a very new restriction introduced by Admin because we had nasty spammers re-registering as soon as they were banned, posting vile links. Sometimes the same spammer would come back three or four time in one day, thus causing unnecessary work for Admin.

Shame that genuine newbies have to be so treated, but there seemed to be no other way to get rid of some unpleasant stuff.
