Info for new members

[Kevlar]

where did you post a url that it rejected you?

[nic329]

finally i found the thread!!

[jdracer]

I'm still confused. As I understand it, once I have been a registered member for 10 days (and I have been) before I can post a question. I am, I did, and it didn't work. I can post a question. If I have to wait until I have posted 10 or more replies, I might wait forever, because I haven't had anything constructive to say in reply to other threads. Of course that doesn't seem to stop some people, but it stops me. BTW, I am registered in a half dozen or more other forums and this is the only forum where I have had this problem. Is there something more I need to do before I can ask my question?

[Kevlar]

You can ask your question at any time... you are just restriced on the use of URLs in your question (i.e. no links and no images -- including smilies).

ok now i understand why i cant post any pics of my e30... thanks

[stupiddumbass]

Cool, thanks for the info, although it does make it hard for lurkers...

[E30 borbet]

finally found the info i need! tryin to post photos of my project for ages

[BlackedOut]

Obviously I am not a spammer, if I have been a member since 2005, visit occassionally and post very little. I am a bit stunned that I am blocked from posting as a new member... oh well, here is a post.

Thanks!

So if I'm in a hurry to post a picture to help solve a problem, I have to post random and meaningless replies until I have 15 posts? And that cuts down on spam?

[serpentstile]

the posts i make arent being counted...so i've had 1 post forever. How do i fix this??

[serpentstile]

hmm looks like its fixed now thx..i've been hanging out in the Kill forums. I guess those dont count.

No, you post meaningful posts because otherwise we remove them. or you send the photos to a member to post, or post the link broken.

[groovytaco]

this helps

[flyboyy]

i cant post with alot of words

[anamator]

why can't new members post pics? this is absurd! especially since i need to show someone that posted a pic that they circled the wrong thing in the motor shot. I am trying to show them where it is really located but can't. what should i do?

[xdream]

was this really necessary. i left the forum because of this last time.

[SilverBeam]

Yeah it is, it's reduced spam to almost zero

[M3Esprit]

Thanks for the info. A bit frustrating as a newbie, but I understand the reasons.

[robz]

15posts later and I still can't post pics..:-(

UPDATE: Never mind..I was able to post URLS, which is OK for me...

Robz

[robz]

[kingmanjr00]

[x0rcist]

So this explains what's going on...

[MuttonMan]

Man I really wanted to use that guy that pumps his arm in one of my posts! :P But now I know, and it makes sense
