Default PROBLEMS VIEWING IMAGES OR PMs

Originally Posted by Patrick

Hello,
As some of you surely know, weve been getting spammers who join and never post but send out a ton of spam through the PM system and for a change, it isnt another forum.

We have made some usergroup alterations so that new members cannot get to the areas where these spammers are causing problems..mainly uploaded files (pictures) and the PM system.

NEW MEMBERS WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO PICTURES OR PMs UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN AN ACTIVE MEMBER FOR FIVE DAYS AND FIVE POSTS.

Ive been going through the complaints today in this section about not being able to access PMs or pictures and I see that almost every person with a problem has made less than 5 posts, or theyve been here for less than five days. This is why a great many of the people having the problem later post "nevermind..it works now".

If you are having these problems and you have less than five posts and less than five days on the forum...nothing is wrong. If youve been inactive for a long time, welcome back...post around the forum a little and when the system upgrades usergroups (usually later in the evening) you should be promoted.

If any of you have been here for more than five days and more than five posts (dont assume..make sure), please post in this section with a link to the thread with the pictures that you cannot see.

Reminder, HD Forums rules do not allow posting meaningless posts in order to boost your post count. So don't post 5 messages here so you can view images. They will be removed and your post count reset.

Thank you for your time and patience while we deal with the spam issues.

Is it more than 5 posts or at least 5 posts?

EDIT - doesn't matter I guess because I can not see any pictures - including one that I added to a post myself

You may have to wait a day after you get 5 posts. The system doesn't update instantaneously.

When a person joins there are certain rules that they have to read and sign before they can be a member. There are also rules posted in various sections of this forum for those that want to take the time and search for them. You asked a question and I answered, if you feel that it was sarcastic, that is of no importance to me.
