This is so kind and helpful. I would recommend switching to a different image host though! Photobucket has blocked out images before unfortunately and thus the images may stop working in the future. (also now there is a giant "hosted on photobucket" watermark on there.)

ShadowyIce

thanks bunches for the helpful thread!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but can someone help me? I can't seem to find a thread that has complete or accurate information about forum badges. I'd like to earn some to get more points to become a regular member, but every time I find one that looks like it might have the info I'm looking for, it says I'm not allowed there. Any advice?

@ShadowyIce, you just need to make some more posts to get 15 posts and hopefully you should be a full member after reaching your 24 hours mark from when you joined.

When you hit that point, then you might have to log out and back into your account for the change to take place...

Hello @VeijariStarling
New members are unable to start new threads until they become full members. You need to have 25points and 15 posts before you can become a full member and can then have an Avi picture, post pictures, have a signature, start new threads, edit posts , post links that show up correctly and have quotes appear in grey boxes . This thread explains about it.

You receive a point each time another simmer presses like or awesome or insightful on a post that you have posted in a thread created by another simmer.
You will be able to start a new thread when you become a full member and the discussion button will be there.
You have the required points, but just need a few more posts, then you will be a full member.

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks @rosemow I usually don't enter many forums because it's always too overwhelming for new users and many things, like THIS should be easily accessible and stickied! Thanks :smiley:

Hi, I'm new to forums, I don't really understand how posting in activities work. If I ask a question will there be people able to answer it? What's the purpose of posting in activities?

Hello @LilfireworkSims
It would be best to ask questions in a thread in the forums section rather than the activities wall,

Question, When using a third party site (photobucket, ect.) to upload pictures to the forum; If you delete the photo from the housing site (PB, ect.) Will the photos still be viewable on the forums or will that photo delete as well? Asking because the sites limit the amount of stored photos allowed.

Hello @Arie03
The photo will no longer be viewable on the forums. The photos aren’t stored here.

@Arie03, they disappear from this site after you delete them from whichever photo hosting site you use.
