Author Topic: why can't I start a new thread? (Read 50201 times)

Firstly, welcome to the forum.

If you want to connect to other new users, you can check out the *newbies only* forum area here
http://www.microstockgroup.com/**newbies-only**/

In regards to starting threads, members who are 'lurkers' (those who have less than one post) are not able to start new threads. This is an effort to cut down on spambots.

Once you have made one post, your status is upgraded to 'Newbie' and you can start your own threads.

Also: when you do start a new thread, please give the thread a descriptive subject. If you are going to ask a question, put the question in the subject. A thread that is titled 'a question for you' or 'I am having problems' is not helpful and will probably not get a very good response. Instead try 'I am having problems with my ftp program Filezilla' or 'What is the best FTP software?'

You don't like bots starting threads about lesbian sex?

Darn. I thought this was going to be a reminder to check out the forum search to see if someone already started a thread on your earthshattering news you came to share.

no its great idea how to stop bots! Thanks

I didn't realize how bots were until I built a simple guestbook page on my website. I had to go back in today and add a little validation process. I hope it's good enough - I've been getting slammed with bot entries.

I doubt you'll be here for long if you behave as you did elsewhere.

This must be as good a place as any to advance up from lurker status. Thanks for the heads-up.

Hi, I'm 3rd year photography student currently writing my dissertation. In it I am including a discussion about microstock photography, does anyone mind if I make a new thread asking for comments and opinions from members as part of my research?
