"Help!" for: Forum Usage

[23Magnum]

This thread will contain general first hand knowledge of the workings of this site's forums.

People who don't know: Post questions.

People who know: Answer those questions.

Please be as clear and detailed as possible with your questions and/or answers. Repeated questions or variations of certain questions may be consolidated over time into an FAQ section in the post following this one.

Always ask and answer questions as if you were asking/answering your mother or grandmother. In other words, politely.

Rudeness and/or impatience will be met with an infraction. You don't want too many of those.

These threads are meant to reduce and hopefully eliminated the need for the numerous 'I need help threads' that seem to generate endlessly in this section of the forum.

They are not a be all, end all to all questions that could ever be asked though. Some questions will be project specific and you may need to ask those IN the project's thread itself. However, some may not see your questions there so you may post a link to said project thread in the appropriate "Help!" thread when you need the attention of a few extra eyes.

how come sometimes it says thread closed

[Trios]

Cory, a closed thread is one that is either a resolved topic, has been inactive for so long that it locked or closed itself, or the creator did not want responses...The up shot is that a closed thread is exactly that, it cannot be replied too...

Hey guys,
Is there anyway to post pictures in the noob forum by uploading your pictures? The only option i can see is to find a link of a picture, is this the only way?

Yes.

But using Photobucket (which would be my recommendation) isn't a big deal. It's actually quite fun to use once you get the hang of it.

I'm aware that this thread is kinda old ad is most likely considered dead but I don't know what to do otherwise as the moderator of this forum has been on for over a month now. But anyways I can't post new threads and when I try it says my account hasn't been activated or is waiting approval. Is this normal? Or do I have to reach a certain number of posts before I can't make my own thread instead of digging up dead ones? so can someone please tell me why it says that? and also is there a private seller section on this website i keep seeing a few references to it but i cant find it. also if it is locked what do i have to do to be able to unlock it?
