Hi there,
Having just switched Energy Supplier and having made use of the Referrer' Boards before I just went to post a Refferal Link only to receive the following message:

I have just reviewed the latest rules and guidelines and it doesn't state anything about this!
I was posting to a thread referencing EDF Amazon Gift Card Offer, so wasn't creating a duplicate thread and hadn't posted to that thread before either. Given that I had no problem doing a similar post back in September after switching to Bulb (only for the price to go up!) I am all the more baffled.
Can anyone tell me what's changed?

The person who posted after you, who only has 2 posts, also has a link that goes nowhere but someone with 12 posts who posted a few days earlier has a normal working link.
It is normal practice not to allow people to post clickable links until they have been members for a while and made a number of posts. They just don't let anyone know how long or how many posts.

^^^ is correct.
You low post count means you have never been able to post links ... I think you need to have 10+ posts and been a member for at least 3 days (the latter not being a problem for you) before this permission is enabled.2 -
Okay,Thank you J_B, BootsMullery and Were_Doomed for your help. Consider my Question as indeed 'Answered'!Julian.1
