Title: Small Credit Packs & The 5 Minute Rule?
Post by: 123XXX on January 07, 2011, 02:04
Does anyone know if the buying limitations have been lifted yet that were put in place over XMAS when the theft occured? Those being:

1 - The ability to only buy small credit packs.

2 -  The abity to only download 1 file every 5 minutes.

There may be other buying limitations that were put in place too at that time, but those are the only 2 I am aware of.

Does anyone know if they have been lifted and/or when they will be if they haven't been lifted yet already?

As sales will hopefully be getting more on track again next week, it would be a shame if there are still buying constraints in place for the buyers.

Cheers...

Easy to check the first one. You can buy up to 2000 credit packs online as previously:

and probably, as previously, you can buy bigger, cheaper bundles via customer support.

It's not easy to check the 5-min rule, but I'm sure I saw on the forums that things are back to normal there too.

Thanks for your good reply. That makes good sense and it's a relief if buyers can buy large credit packs and download pics normally again.
