    A couple of really common questions that have been coming in lately have been about why some of you can't edit your profile or add an avatar. Also there are a lot of questions about how to add a picture into a post.

    The posts below should answer those questions. Also, the board rules have been posted below just as a reminder.

    Thanks!

    New Members and Avatar/Profile editing

    There are a few changes that have been made this year that effects new members registering on the forums. Brand new members won't immediately have full access to the site.

    Members who've been registered for 30 days or less are considered "Brand New" members and have the following access restrictions:
    • Cannot read or post in the Off Topic forum
    • Upload space is limited to 1 megabyte
    • Are required to wait 2 minutes between doing searches
    • Amount of private message storage space is set at 25
    • Are not allowed to edit custom profile or add URL's to signature
    • Cannot upload custom avatars
    • Cannot start or vote in polls
    • Cannot edit own posts
    • Are subjected to additional advertising
    Once you've been registered for at least 30 days, you'll automatically be upgraded to a "First Year" member and your access will be as follows:
    • Upload space is limited to 2 megabytes
    • Required to wait 90 seconds between doing searches
    • Private message storage space is set at 50 PM's
    • Can edit your post only during the first 24 hours after you make it
    • Cannot start a poll
    After you've been a member for a year, you'll be upgraded to member status and have the same access as regular members. Also note that at least one post needs to be made after the 30-day or 1 year time period since registering has passed before the account will be updated.

    These changes were mainly made to help with server load issues and control some of the bogus accounts that are being created. I know it won't stop them all but it's at least a minor deterrent.

    Anyone who joined prior to 2006 has the same access as before and won't experience any of these restrictions.

    Forum Rules

    While we prefer an open atmosphere on this site, this isn't necessarily an "anything goes" message board. Please keep in mind the following rules:
    1. No Pornographic images. Please do not post pictures of nudity in the forums. This is not a porn site!
    2. No vulgar, obscene or hateful images (such as extreme pictures of graphic violence, veraciously crude materials, etc.)
    3. No hateful speech (racist remarks, overt harassment, etc.) or like attacks against another member, or group of members.
    4. No Avatar Abuse. Please keep your avatars fairly clean. No pornography in the avatars.
    5. No spamming. Spamming is characterized by the initiation of threads or posts that contribute nothing to a forum. Examples include: empty bodies, bodies with few words that have no relation to the current thread or discussion and those posts that state they are spam, either to annoy or increase a member's post count. This determination is made by the forum Moderator or Administrator and is not up for discussion.
    6. Posts in a particular forum need to stay on topic as much as possible. If you want to talk about something that is drastically removed from the topic of a forum, please use the Off Topic forum.
    7. Have fun and don't take everything you read too seriously. We have these rules for those that like to start trouble, but overall we do realize that most members are respectful. Bottom line, RESPECT ONE ANOTHER and keep on riding!
