    If a useless post is found, typically, it will be erased, and the rest of your posts will be reviewed to see if they are legitimate. It is best not to temp getting your post count reduced, or set back to zero, and be a productive member to bfc.

    If you see other new members doing this, or see members advising new members spam, please refer them to either this thread or http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...d.php?t=720979 or report it so the moderators can handle the problem.

    I believe the photo system is due to bandwidth. SOme forums make you pay for an avatar.

    These systems are only temporary heartaches in order to gain full access to the forum. Just post as you would normally do, only without links or photos, you can email photos of a member to upload them. Being active in a productive way is the best way to raise your post count, then you can join the ranks with your abilities.
    Hi everyone :-) Yup, the restrictions on initial postings do seem to make sense. Cheers.

    i'm sorry but i've never seen a fourm restrict the abilities of new members by post count, thats extremelly fustrating. i can see the and respect the logic behind it, but for someone trying to get information (esp a new owner like myself) it makes it rather difficult

    Like what just happened to me...LOL

    15 posts - they get the ability to use images, smilies & URLs
    10 days - they get off-topic access
    25 posts - something else happens
    > 100 posts - you get an avatar option

    Usless posting to acquire added features will probably result in posting restrictions a starting over from 0, or close to it.
    I felt like the only one with restrictions. Now I know im not alone

    My boys rave about this forum and decided to be a member. They never mentioned all these restrictions. Now I know. Thanks for all of your help

    Ok, how do I know how many posts I've made?

    Also, it completely totally utterly sucks when you write a big email that includes a pick or smiley and the site tells says you can't post and deletes your email. There should be a way to let you edit and not completely loose what you spent time writing.

    Hey I think I got two, no three posts out of this! (insert cute but still illegal smiley here)

    Ok, I figured out how many posts I've made. It says it in the little poster info section top right of the post. I guess I have 8 now

    Are you kidding? I have no idea how to change the size. It took me an hour before I stumbled across zoints and somehow or another fumbled through getting it to show up on my sig. I'll spend anouther hour trying to figure out how to shrink I guess. Its just a dam good thing I'm here at work doing this!

    www.imageshack.us ... will make your life alot easier (look for the auto resize drowndown box).
    Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?
