Okay. Well I am over 30 posts but I don't have my sig showing up yet? What uP? And I"m not making crap posts either. Trying to learn. What gives?

You need to write something in the signature field in your profile. You can do that in "My Stuff"

Hello - I'm a new member. Interesting to see everyone's reaction to the 30-post/30 min (15 min?) requirement.

So here's my first post. I guess I'll go read another forum while I am waiting.

I see your signature now. Good job! I'm probably about half way there.

I'm pretty new to this forum but has come to a quick conclusion that there are a lot to learn from just reading post and comment. Nice job!

Yes, it is appreciating to have stern policies to make the quality of the forum. This help to keep away those professional who mainly seem interested in link leaving rather than posting some information.

Hmm...I can't seem to upload an avatar. Is this also related to the new member restrictions?

(And yes, it is less than 100 x 100 pixels, and it is a .jpg, trying to upload via URL)

Yes, you can still use a remote avatar though just by specifying a remote url for your graphic.

That's what I was trying to do but it didn't work, so I wondered if it was because I'm still under 30 posts.

Sounds like you're saying that the remote method *should* work now, but there's something else I can't do under 30 posts?

Ok...I don't know what's wrong.

There are two fields where the url can be entered - you need to enter it in the "Url to your avatar" field and not in the "Upload your avatar" field.

Yes...that's what I was doing. Or trying to anyway.

I am familiar with both methods, but I don't even have the direct upload field option on my profile - it may be hidden when one has under 30 posts...

Send me a Private Message with the url you are trying to use and I will check it out for you.

Hmm, know what...I'll bet you I know why it's not working - it's behind a password. I'll try another method first and if that doesn't work I'll PM.

Thanks!

...ETA while in n00b timeout: Yep...that was the problem. Solved!
