So I now have 7 posts but I still can't post anywhere but here. Do I need a mod to change my status?

Moved to Site Feedback & Help


Note that the server resets at 25 after every hour. Your permissions should update in about 22 minutes, now that you are over the 5 post threshold.

Wow that was super helpful. Thanks so much. Doesn't do anything to actually answer my question as I now have 8 posts. 3 more than the 5 required in that link that I already read. But thanks.

Thanks Sonic, that's what I was looking for. Much appreciated.

Make 5 posts, wait an hour for the site to reset itself, then you are off!

I'm not new to forums and I realize that the regulars probably see posts like this all the time but seriously, if you can't be bothered to read my question it would be more helpful just to let someone else answer. Though Sawlight gets half credit for including the waiting part. It would probably be helpful to add that to the New Member Sticky.

The link given to you in post # 2 is from New Members Information which is a helpful sub forum to assist you in ECF.

It is a sticky that tells you exactly the answer you are looking for :

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:
Members are restricted to posting in the New Members Forum only, can not use Private Messaging, and can not have a signature.

5 to 15 posts:
Members can post in other forums and use Private Messaging.

15 posts and above:
Members can post in all forums, and can now have a signature.

The process is manual and may take up to a week, depending on workload and the verification method you choose.

Please be aware that 'spamming' useless posts for the sole purpose of raising your post count is not allowed, and may result in your posts being deleted.
