AI Thread Summary
Users are unable to post links until they reach a minimum of 10 posts, with posts in the lounge not counting towards this total. This policy is in place to deter spammers and has proven effective. Some users express frustration over their post count not reflecting their actual contributions, particularly when they want to share links or images. To qualify for posting links, users simply need to engage more outside the lounge area. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of participating in relevant sections to meet the posting requirements.

As the title says, "Why can't I post links?" Every time I try to post a link of some sort it says I must have at least 10 post before I can post a link.

Why?? I have more than 10 post, but it only says I have 7 for some reason...

Posts in the lounge don't count. We have a 10 post limit to discourage spammers. It has been extremely successful.

Oh nice.:smile:

So I am assuming I will never have the qualifications to post links?

I was making a thread in the general discussion area called "Hobbies you enjoy doing (please include pictures)." I wanted to post a few pictures I uploaded in photobucket, wanted to share with you all the things I enjoy doing such as working on my truck and wheeling it.

You just need more posts outside of the PF Lounge, that's all.

I loved this idea!
 
PF lounge? Physics Forum?
 
Yes, PF stands for Physics Forums. Go to the main page and see names of the sections.
