new member restrictions

Post by bigbor »

I cannot paste U-R-L's or images here due to new member restrictions. Please consider removing that. There are other better ways of guarding against spam.

Yes, the other point of this post is to get my one post requirement in so that tomorrow I can post U.R.L.s.

Thanks.

It's only URLs that you can't post, for 1 day and after you've had 1 post. Not too restrictive if you ask me. But, images? You most certainly can attach them. In fact, you should be attaching the image(s) locally to your response, using the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form. Not a lot of people will go to 3rd party sites.

Having the same issue. Do we have to start a new thread or is this reply considered a post?

It is considered a post. Now, wait for a day. Is a URL really necessary in describing your problem? I guess we'll know tomorrow. But keep in mind that links for logs and images will be removed. You can always attach images and zipped logs here. You should actually...
