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.

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

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.

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

would explain why my avatar recently stopped displaying, but now i cant upload an avatar :( is it just me did i break it?

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

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.

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

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

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts

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 ;).

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

So does that mean you respect me lol? ;)

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

hells yeah, you're an og around here!

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

Woot for me.

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

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
 

kk for my 50th post

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

What ya mean? I confused ;)

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

maybe he means "cant wait" till 50th post? kk im not sure on though either but im old so maybe its some young lingo. lol

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

guess so lol. I just didn't understand the statement.

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

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

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.

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

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

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

Should happen automatically.

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

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.

Re: Changes For Users With <50 Posts
 

We have lowered this down from 50 posts to 20!

Re: Changes For Users With <20 Posts

I never knew life could be this sweet, got me cheesin from cheek to cheek :)
