BluepigART

 I already posted on three different post of other but I still getting this "

• You have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links." all the time...

 I want too post my work for the contest of Riot going on right now, I'll appreciate some extra help thanks!

They put in this requirement to combat some recent spam, not sure the limit but why not comment on a couple other threads in the contest and see if you can post after that.

So I have been trying to upload my progress for a few days now but I keep getting the error message saying I need to be around a little bit longer before I can post links. I read somewhere that I needed to have posted to a reply 3 times before I can upload images. I've tried Drag & Dropping, using Image URL. I know it is to combat spam but I have been unable to show my progress for a while now. Not sure why I was upload an image on the original post and not after.

Is this just a matter of waiting a few more days or am I doing something silly?

New accounts cannot post links, cannot use signatures, and cannot customize their avatars. You will be granted these options once you have posted three times, and are thus promoted from rank "null" to rank "vertex". These limits help us combat spammers.

@GulliblePotato I'm not sure what's going on with your account. I'll take a look at the settings and let you know.

Ok I've made a few tweaks to the settings. Could you please check and see if it's fixed for you?

Sorry for the inconvenience. Just working towards a more perfect state of being.

I am having the same problem as well. I see there is a "posted three times" rule, does replying to your own thread count towards this?

Onimaster8

Yeah im having the same issue atm

 Just try too interact around until you hit at least three feedback / commentaries, wait a bit, In my case I did it before going too sleep and the next day I was ready too go if you read the rules and term you can more information.

If you have an adblocker installed, it will prevent the forum's Rank system from updating your rank, and thus granting you permissions.

Ohhhh that explains it. I got instantly promoted as soon as I turned it off, thanks.

Do you have an adblocker installed?

Umm, I have the same problem, however I am a new member, so maybe I just need to post a few more replies maybe?
