I also made a few backend changes to some other stuff, so let me know if there's any other issues you notice on the site.

What's wrong with lurking? I guess inception date means little. I don't post often, but I'm starting to get the impression that I'm not welcome unless I'm spouting nonsense just to up my count.

There's nothing wrong with lurking and everyone is welcome at the site. Since uploading custom avatars and profile pictures takes up space on the server, we decided it was best to limit this a little. We already had the 50 post limit setup for the bargain trader, so we just used that setting for the avatars and profile pics.

Oh, I agree that saving bandwidth is essential, I guess I just need to post more. Or, go back to lurking...

i don't think it's about posting nonsense to up your count, my brother turned me on to this site. he's been here longer than me, he only has 6 posts. some folks get what they need and go, others stick around and try to help as much as possible :). my post count is high because i'm on the welcoming commitee lol. and yes, i mainly lurk now :mrgreen:. some people go by post count, i try to really respect those with a join date before mine :). hang in there soldier, every member counts..at least to me ;).

Dr. I think we disabled uploading of sig images a while back. Everyone that has an image in their sig has it hosted somewhere else and is using BBCode to hotlink to it.

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 
I knew about the 50 post requirement to post in the Bargain Trade section but was trying to figure out why I couldn't upload a custom avatar til I found this thread. lol

Thanks so much! I haven't been on here for almost a year and wondered where the link to add this was. I guess I've have to get caught up and be more active.

Do the above privileges trigger automatically after reaching 50 posts or do we get sent another confirmation email type of thing?

AFAIK there is no email confirmation, however once you have reached 50 posts you should automagically obtain these privileges within the hour... If any users does not have the privileges listed and does have 50+ posts, please post in this thread or contact a member of staff...

btw congrads PhatboyNYC :D

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 
Yeah after I created this thread, I was browsing around and decided to try uploading an avatar again and it worked. lol I guess I expected the privileges to trigger as soon as I made my 50th post.

Anyways, although I only registered recently, I've been a lurker here for quite some time. I've noticed people here are definitely more helpful and generous than other sites.
