    Yes, the more stars you have, the more you need to get out of the house... ;)
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    It's 50ish posts before you can post links. :)

    Strange :eek:

    I'm only on 18 posts and posted a link to a comp the other day!

    I think it's some sort of algorithm that counts length of time after registering and number of posts. So if you regiuster then post 30 in a day you might not be able to post links but 15 over a month and you might ?

    Very possibly, I have been registered for several months, but have only just started posting :)

    I'm getting extremely bored of posting away so that I can do a post with a link. Very tiresome. I really do have better things to do with my time. Feel like I’ve been on here ages. Only came on here to ask one thing (with a link). Blahhhh.
