Please help is there a certain # of posts to changes your level

There is, it's all explained here http://www.lighting-gallery.net/index.php?topic=2208.0

thank you

Patience... and yes posts... but i would not recommend posting a bunch of (...) just to farm up posts because you'll quickly become disliked, Just take your time and answer questions, ask questions etc etc... the usual that you've been doing and eventually you'll gain your non-newb status, but in actuality it really does not matter what your forum rank is because people know who you are...

Thanks for advice

Ah, but is that always a good idea..? 

Yes, you will eventually get away from being a newbie, but post spamming like you have been doing is not the best way to do it, we had one member do this, and he got post limited for overposting.
-first warning, don't spam the forum trying to get your post count up, it makes you look bad here.

Just a suggestion, relatively new here myself so not sure if it's been mentioned, but could an alternative system of 'ranking' (for want of a better word) be used..?

I notice that it is only posts in the message boards that advance the count, comments on images don't count - could some means of integrating these be considered..? I realise it may not be technically possible within the confines of the site software, but I thought it worth mentioning.

So as nothing has happened since, I'm assuming it's not possible..?

The admins never really responded back to the topic after saying "we'll check into it" so idk, I'm assuming it is possible but whether they have time for it or want to take the time to do it is another story.... I actually just replied again to that topic because i forgot about it until you posted here....

Ok, well having been a site admin I know it's a thankless job and not the easiest of tasks, so I don't want to put pressure on anybody, but it would be good if consideration could be given to the idea.

I suppose we could try and implement it, but I could also see how it could be abused...

Anything can be abused, it's how that abuse is dealt with that counts. Not trying to tell you your job, but it might just stop people posting huge amounts of junk just to get their ratings up..

I must be looking at the wrong topics if people have been spamming.
