New users three posts

[kibititon]

Hello forum! There was a notice just after registering that new user requires to create 3 posts. \
Can I get a clarification for this please? Do I need to upload my games or comics or whatever for it to count as a post ( similar to torrent leeching and seeding ratio? )

And while we are at it, please let me know if you can make forum text a bit bigger for my eyesight, maybe some kind of setting?
Thanks!

Welcome.
You need 3 post for adding Links and 5 posts to be able to start a conversation (PM).
Posting threads and posts all count (as long as it's not in Off-Topic or Profile Posts), you already have one from this one, the next one can be by replying me.

You can change the font size in your account preferences.

OK, thank you. Not completely clear to me how this works, but I'm eager to publish my game!

Thanks! The font settings help! And I think I understand now, it is not exactly upload/download ration but just regular comments. Meaning I will go around chatting with people!


Oooohhh very nice, so many replies so fast!

I am sorry, another question - where can I read about explanation of prefixes by the thread names? Some are self explanatory, but some abbreviations I dont understand at all

Hi there.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one confused about this.
I got the same notice and was wondering if posting a reply to anyone would count as a post, but I guess I'll be finding out after I post this reply...
Anyway, thank you for shedding at least a little light on the subject.

Hmm, there's only three prefixes that are abbreviations: "VN" (Visual Novel), "REQ" (Request), and "VAM" (Virt-A-Mate).

All the others prefixes are the usual name of whatever is concerned, even when that usual name also happen to be an abbreviation (like for "HTML" by example).

Yeah this one threw me though a loop aswell, ive been lurking for a long time, but finally decided to try my hand at a game myself. and the guide doesnt mention anything about posts, but this and a few other posts seems to have luck at 3 posts, or making it in the request section and making a ticket for a mod.
Trying the 3 posts thing myself first.

Thank you for asking this. I do apologize if this question is well-known, but what does it mean by Off-Topic or Profile Posts? Also wondering if replying to this thread would add to the 3 posts thing. If so, yay.

offtopic posts - any message in "offtopic" section - do not add to post count (post = message)

Profile Posts - click a user's name (maybe twice), you get to that user's profile. You could leave a comment there (publicly visible for anyone else visiting that user profile).

There is board called Off-Topic and anything posted won't count towards your profile total. Profile posts are on peeps profile.

How many posts is it to be able to upload a game? I thought I was above the limit but don't seem to be able post in the games thread yet.

you can never post new topics in the game section, unless you become uploader or moderator.

You can post games in the game request section, see here:
