Additionally, General Discussion posts do not contribute to the post count, and to have an avatar, one must subscribe, become a mentor/admin, or have joined the forum before the new system was implemented.

I have been subscribed to this forum for a couple of months , but only recently I have began to post. I have more than 15 post , but only 9 show up all the time and I have noticed it won't change from 9. Also wanted to ask to have an avatar do you have to be a special member or something? I have seen that there are PF contributors what exactly does that mean?




Thanks...Galaxy33..:wink:

Posts in GD (General Discussion) do not count toward your post count. And to get an avatar you need to subscribe, become a mentor/admin, or have joined the forum and had an avatar before the new system went into effect some time ago.

If they did, my count would be up around 20,000.
