8 Messages Before I can Post URL's
First of all, let me say that I think PPRuNe is a great site, moderated by Amateurs, so this is not in any way a Complaint!
I only post here occasionally, although I lurk constantly.
So I wanted to post some photos, but I received the Message "You cannot post URL's until you have minimum 8 Posts".
But I had made 8 posts ! I checked "My Posts" and it listed 8.
I uploaded my photos to My Album, thinking that this would not be considered to be "URL's" but the same message appeared.
So the I looked at MY Profile and it stated " Total Posts 6" !
So I made 2 more rather spurious posts, checked that My Total Posts had increased to 8 Posts, and tried again.
Success !!
I conclude:
1. Photos in My Album are treated as "URL's" although they have previously been uploaded.
2. Maybe there is a time limit during which you must post your 8 Posts ??
I hope this post may inform others usefully.
