Posted: 2/28/2007 11:06:54 PM | I have one last suggestion and then I will be quiet until my probation is up ;)
I've noticed that the issue of people asking this question might be solved with a small line in their Mail/Profile area, could be a countdown timer letting them know when they can post. I know you guys are suuuuper busy, and this is just a suggestion, my way of trying to relieve you of some of the more redundant threads/posts.
Also I do realize that some 'surfers' lack in the reading of instructions etc, and most likely will miss the said timer. But hey if it stops 1 out of 10, thats one less hassle for you guys/gals ;)
Anyways, great site, super thanks for the freeness of it all. And I can't wait to jump in (cept mom always told me it was only 30 minutes before I could go swimming).
However, since 3 days sounds like thirties. I suppose I can let it slide . . . . this time :)

Posted: 3/1/2007 4:04:40 AM | I figured my problem out by a process of elimination (my HUH was posted in another thread on same subject here few days ago)
I wrote a lengthy post. No cancel button. No thread problems. Seemed to go through but wasnt there.
Grrr and frustrating. I removed all kinds of things...then removed an @ character in the middle of the word d@yum.
And it went through. 
Now I see THIS thread (that I didnt find initially on a thread search) and there's Brawny saying - Dont use the @ character. (now I see it, NOW I see it lol)
If the @ symbol is in your post..it wont go at all. (idiot here who tried about 8 times before she figured it out)
Mods: I had a bit of a look on this and couldnt find forbidden characters.
Now I know there is one, and understandable because its related to people trying to post their (or others) email addies, is there a place we can see a list of them so we dont have to come here and bug you when it happens?
And if there is. Advance apologies to Trapped who took the time to answer my post on that thread.

Posted: 3/1/2007 12:08:28 PM | I'm getting a message saying I can't post because I've had two posts out of the last ten... which is fine... but there's at least one other guy who has 3 posts out of the last ten.
We aren't 'chatting' to each other... and all our posts have been on topic and of decent length...
I'm wondering what the difference might be?

The first post in the appropriate thread has a moderator response in blue and states:
Post something with substance, other than just one, two, three etc. word replies, then the filter will allow you more than 2 out of the last 10. if you need to respond to a lot of posters at once, gather your thoughts, quote each member you are replying to, and answer both, or as many as you wish in one post, - problem solved. Many people have already adopted this style, even before the-filter was put in place. / Moderator -
I'll even bold and underline the key phrase above ...
PS. The appropriate thread being --> FAQ - Limit of No More than 2 Posts in last 10 Sequential Posts | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 10:37:48 PM | | Alright, my time is up and now i must wait another day? If you will not the day I joined (28th) today is the 2nd. That seems to be over 3 days to me, however I tried to post and got the message that I must wait until the 3rd to post (1:14am). I hope I have not done something to cause a loooonger probation period. I've got something I want to post, but it's saved to a file, so there is no rush. (If I indeed cause a longer probation period I apologize for my infraction) | |

Posted: 3/1/2007 10:48:43 PM | Exactly 72 hours from 2/28/2007 12:27:14 AM Pacific Standard Time is when posting is enabled.
Feb 28 to March 1 is 24 hours, Feb 28 to March 2 is 48 hours, Feb 28 to March 3 at 12:27:14 AM Pacific Standard Time is 72 hours = 3 days.
...and yes, I had to think about it for a few seconds. | |

Posted: 3/2/2007 11:13:43 AM | | I am trying to figure out how to get color into my events post and stuff like that. Do you have to do it up in some other kind of format and then past it into the post afterwards. Sorry couldn't find a common post to put this in... | |

Posted: 3/8/2007 12:59:23 PM | dragons49,
You have to know a little HTML to get colour into a party thread - and those are the ONLY threads where (almost?) all HTML is enabled.
I've used photobucket to get images into the initial posts in my party threads - and I just cut and paste from my blog to create hyperlinks to the venue's website or TTC schedules or whatever.

Well you managed to post into this thread - what happens when you try posting in the Forums?
Read all the other posts in this thread as your problem may have been addressed already.

Posted: 3/8/2007 3:29:55 PM | I have read all the common reasons as to why I cannot post, but when to DO try to post, I get the, " cannot post messages this short."
I don't know what I am doing incorrectly - again, I have read all the 'reasons' as posted at the beginning of the thread.
This has been happening for approximately 3 days now.
Any reply would be appreciated - thanks! | |

Posted: 4/2/2007 12:08:02 PM | | I had recently changed my screenname, and someone else signed up as AreUmine? He took my former profile name, so my forum posts show up on him? I'm definitely not male, and I definitely didn't post a pic of only my torso. | |

Posted: 7/13/2007 4:17:48 PM | note that there is no 3 day posting restriction in the help forum, however, noting your exact date and time of sign up, you should be fine elsewhere by now.

Posted: 8/20/2007 7:47:52 PM | I received this reply when posting, In order to maintain the highest quality forums you are restricted to having no more then 2 of the last 10 posts on a thread.
Since 2 of the last 10 posts are yours you can not post to this thread.
BUT, when I read another forum I had noticed multiple replies from the same user, within an hours. So, my question is why could she make multiple replies, but I am restricted to two? | |
