Thread: Can't post pictures to my Gallery - new member need help

Tweet

As Bill pointed out in one of your earlier posts just before Christmas ( New member from Colorado ) there are some "filters" in the system that do a lot to block spammers trying to capture data here. One detail is that a new member cannot post any type of attachment, be it a link to something out on the net or a picture file, until they have passed a minimum threshold number of posts. I've seen it stated that the magic number is ten posts, but I've never seen the specific number from a moderator. My advice is to reply to a few threads, get some interaction going to show "the system" you're a trusted spot on the IP universe, and things will open up pretty quickly.

When you do get past the minimum there're some basic steps in this old thread ( http://www.clubhotrod.com/shop-talk/...tml?highlight= ) that explain options for attaching picture files to posts. IMHO posting to a thread is far more interesting than posting in a gallery. I never go into a gallery looking for a specific picture, as I have no interest in scrolling through 500 pictures to find the one I want to see. I prefer to have them tied to a thread that has an appropriate title that I can try to find. Just my $0.02.
