> @carpe_diem, Once you become a for member, you can use the bold because right now it won't work. But I'll go and explain how to use it so that you can have for future reference. You just need to use the brackets along with the b in the middle for the beginning and the brackets with the forward slash as well as the b. Here is an example of what I'm talking about except you won't be spacing the brackets from the forward slash and the B's:

You just need 25 points, 15 posts and an account older than 24 hours old to be a full member. Once you hit full member status, you can change your profile picture start new threads, share your pictures and links to sites as well have full use of these functions such as the quoting system as well...

Hello @justbrooklee. Welcome to the forums.
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.
There will be a blue discussion button and you will be able to start a new thread when you become a full member.

Is there any way to change your name and/or have your old posts deleted? My posts are from 2016 and lord they make me cringe. And the name is ages old as well.

Hello @JoyfulSims
If you would like to change your forums username, you can post a request to change the name on the activities wall of either Ea_Leeloo or EA_Rtas
You are unable to delete your old posts, but you can edit them if you would like to do that.

Thanks. I did not know who the currently active staff are. Also, nice to see you're still around @rosemow

Umm... does anyone know what's up with the points? Because I need 25 to be a member. What are they and how do you earn them?

SuperT259

Oh... I just noticed that this topic is really old. The last post is from June 2015. Well, anyway, I hope someone sees my earlier post. :smile:

SuperT259

And of course it didn't work. I meant :) .

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. As you post on threads, you will soon get the required points that you need.
The off topic section is a good place to post.
This post explains about the badges that you can earn points through also

Ok... can´t find an answer to this anywhere... But how do you "mention" someone? (when you get an @ in front of a user name)

Hello @carpe_diem
When you press the @ button then type the name beside it, it should turn out blue.
