For anyone else wondering:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...262-new-members-how-many-posts-do-i-need.html
As part of the forum's anti-spam measures, new members are initially restricted to where and how they can post. This system is based off of your post count, and consists of
three stages. Please note that it can take up to an hour for the forum software to update your account between each stage.
0 to 5 posts:
New members can only post in the New Members Forum.
Cannot post links. (Just put spaces in them like this: www. example .com)
Cannot use Private Messaging (PMs).
Cannot have a signature.
Cannot post images (photos) if linked to on another site.
I see it says "if linked......" so I don't know about from your computer.
