  1. What can I do?

    Hello! I notice I'm a *member*. What does this allow me to do? What does it prohibit me from doing? How many posts do I have to make to change my *status*? Thank you!

  2. what's going on with my avatar?

    For some reason I can't change it. I uploaded a new one (or rather my old one), but it doesn't want to change.
