I don't recall anything about this 10-post limit in any introductory topics, and I've actually read the stuff when joining. I think it should be mentioned somewhere, as a footnote in the member guidelines for instance. I was pretty confused about this myself when I was a complete newbie, and I almost asked the same question...

Well, it's implied in 'EB User Groups and Tags'...

And that is not a required read when joining this site.

A link to the 'EB User Groups and Tags' thread in the member guidelines, then.

Yes, and be sure to read existing threads first.

Thanks! I guess I'll start posting more.

G'day,

Just wondering if the 10245 Error I get when I try and access "My Profile" is occuring due to myself being a new memeber or if it is an ongoing problem?

I have had this error occuring ever since I became a member of Eurobricks and I have not been able to find any info in the tutorials saying I should not be able to access it. In contridiction the turorials state I can change some of the settings in my profile.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Instead of moving all related posts from "Hello! My name is..." to this thread, why don't we move this thread to the "Hello! My name is..." subforum?

Because this is the forum were all the new members go to post their thread on not being able to see profiles, so in. hopes of some of them actually reading a topic before posting, this forum if where they will most likely see it, being that a good chunk of new members don't even bother making intro threads.

Well obviously you can't catch every single person, plus the new user has to actually choose to read it, that will always be a limitation, we can't force someone to actually read something, only to check a box saying they have.

It's no surprise that someone who puts as little care in his posts as wertyuipo does failed to read (and understand) the message.

Hello,

Reporting in. Hope this counts towards the 10-count.

Please don't post just for the sake of raising your post count, it is addressed in the Site guidelines as something we'd prefer you not to do.

Thank You.

So, it's been confusing me, since I've been trying to click on my profile but it keeps on saying I can't view it, why is that?

[Fallenangel]

The answer to your question is a little farther down the first page of this subforum (though it should have been addressed during the registration process).

Please search before making a new thread for website related questions.

Link removed because the thread went to Never Never land.

Big Cam, even though I already know the answer to why I can't view profiles, I find it amusing that when I click on the link you provided I get the error "[#10343] We could not determine which topic you were attempting to view."  I also find it amusing that hitting "reply" to tell you this quoted you, and since the quote had an html link I got this error: "You have posted a message with urls. Due to the fact that spammers really annoy Siegfried members can't post links until they have made 5 posts. Sorry...."

The reason for that is because the thread I had linked has gone to a better place.


Sounds like many good reasons to participate and contribute in the forum to get to that magic 10 post count number.

[SDH]

Thanks I Scream Clones for editing the first post with the answer to the question so I didn't have to slog through the entire thread.
I did see the post about how the 10 post minimum has been added to the TOS, however I couldn't find anything about it in the Help section of the site. It would be helpful if the isssue were addressed there as well.

[E2nO]

As I usually only post if I really have something to tell, this ten posts are representing quite a challenge for me.
However as I just started to leave the dark age (orders are submitted ... packets not yet received - I guess that there will be load of questions coming up soon. Especially as I will be a converted "Fishertechnik" Guy ... so Lego Technics will going to be my "domain" . But so far I have found all answers in the forum ... not having been required to do a single post!

Anyway, here we go with my fist post: I do have two recommendations - surprisingly both relating to this issue topic:

First: I would like to have this restriction stated and explained in the "Member Guideline" posting. That was the first place that I looked, when I found out that I cannot send PM and cannot see any profiles. As there was nothing in there, it took me quite a while and some distinct search to find this thread! I guess there are others that might not be so successful as me - and that will be very frustrating for them (especially as they cannot send a PM to an Admin either ..., see next recommendation)

Second: It would be great if members could PM Moderators and Administrators - regardless of their posting count.
However I can imagine that this is technically not possible to realize this ... but then you might be able to to have a "contact admin forum section" where every member can post, but the postings will only be visible for the administrators. And if that is still not possible, it would be great to have at least and published [-> Member Guidelines] e-mail address that one could send ones request / questions to the admins.

So ... I now hope that any admin is reading my post eventually. The advantage of PM would be that I would know that my "ideas" have be read ... even if the admins decide to no do anything. With this post I now will only know if they have read this at all ... or of they just don't like it / can't do it - if they post an answer in these thread.

Cheers, Enno [and yes: that is my given name, no abbreviation ]

I have passed it on to the Admins. Also it appears that a section has since been added to the Guidelines stating the 10 post limit for future reference.
