    Default 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!

    Here is an overview of the different levels. As far as I remember you also have to be a Member to post images. Registered User is basically meant to limit the harm that drive-by spammers can do. As a Member you should be able to do everything you really need.

    Oh, and welcome!

    You can see chat! Come visit us!
    I don't think so, therefore I'm probably not.

    Welcome to the board and as said, it just means you can use and see chat. The higher levels add very little and are just minor posting incentives.

    Well, the posting of images sounds very good to me. Apart from that, much of a muchness?

    I'm thinking each post gets me closer to 'image posting' status, so I'll get cracking!

    Also, what fora is image posting limited to? If any?

    You can post images anywhere assuming they fit the thread. The only real restriction is to avoid NSFW images unless in a labeled thread and to not spam.

    For user created images and specific image threads, we've got the Dark Room.

    There's a link for them up at the top of the window. You can send PMs to 10 people at a time and have 750 PMs saved.

    Also, I visited the 'What music are you listening to' thread, and found a series of blank boxes. Do I need to post more to see what the boxes are?

    No, they're embedded YouTube videos and are visible to everyone. If they're coming up as blank boxes that's something on your end and not the board. Do you usually have trouble seeing embedded YouTube videos?

    I'm on an especially poxy PC ATM, so that might be it. I'll try a different one.

    Every time I log in I see this thread as the first thing that comes up and it causes Led Zeppin to get stuck in my head.

    (Hey hey what can I do)

    I said she won't be true

    (Oh lord, What can I say?)

    Hey hey, what can I do
    I got a woman, she won't be true
    Lord, hear what I say
    I got a woman, wanna ball all day
    Hell, if I didn't do things just because they made me feel a bit ridiculous, I wouldn't have much of a social life. - Santo Rugger.

    Per the Official Mellophant Guide new members may:

    a. Sub up to 35% of their earning in a given week. Sub will be deducted from their reconciled pay each month.

    New members may not:

    a. Use a slingshot unless they are law enforcement officers.
    b. Give lighted cigars to dogs, cats, and other domesticated animal kept as pets.

    I know all the ins and outs. Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.

    Well, I just wanted to thank all the Mellos for putting up with me with such good humour. Last year was very hard on me, and I'm just starting to find my feet again now. Being able to vent, bitch, moan etc here has certainly helped the process along. And I didn't realise people actually 'bonded' on these things - I imagined it was all like the Durp (). So yeah, in case you can't tell from my wise-cracks and moaning that I'm grateful, I am. Thanks again!

    An elephant relative. The default titles are given by number of posts and stegodon is the first that gives some extra abilities.

    The good news is you can goto Quick Links or Control Panel and Edit Details and change your Title to whatever you like (within reason, the mods reserve a right to clear it if offensive or too confusing, I'm not sure it has happened.)

    The titles and extras: It isn't much, but it is something.
