    Don't do it. It'll only end up costing you lots of money! :!:

    Top advice from Dave.
    A few more posts and you will be kissing any savings goodbye.
    Run away now, whilst you have a chance :lol:

    That's where I started going wrong.
    Actually I have only had positive experiences on SC.
    Damn tempting though.

    Good luck.

    .... and then the forum software update kicks in making it post count and TIME SERVED to allow entry to SC, and with that deployment of code you'll be out of SC again :wink:

    Yeah, that seems fair. Especially the waiting period.
    I'm never going to make it to 250 by the look of it anyway. Mainly because I have nothing interesting to say. :D

    Re: Only 5 more posts

    I feel your pain. A long way to go for me but it's not a problem - definitely much better to get involved with the forum first rather than have a bunch of leechers hovering around every post.

    It's a fair way of doing it.. just seems like forever when you're finally waiting to get in! As has been said though, keeps away all but the most determined which is a good thing. eBay it aint! :)

    I am struggling to get anywhere near this seems I can not even view sales corner now (or am I not looking in the right place?)
    Cheers John

    Seems as if access to SC will be restricted by post count alone: I've been a member for over 4 years and cannot view it - though a post count of only 80+ perhaps holds the key. Seems a bit harsh on those who, like me, only have 20-or-so interesting things to say per year. At this rate I'll be picking up my pension before getting back into SC! :D

  26. #26
    In the same boat. Not sure if there has been an official announcement but looks like Sales Corner may only be viewable with 250 plus posts.

    Oh, no. Only 240 post to go, and all mine posts will be stupid like this with no real value to forum.

  28. #28
    it just replied and it vanished - 250 is very annoying :-(

    Page 1 has quote from Eddie refering to post count and membership duration ... no idea what has been implemented but this might be the cause of your inability to access SC.

    The 250 limit was also on previous forum. I don´t know why are you surprised :)

  35. #35
    read somewhere it's also 60 days min for 50 posts and 180 days min for 250.

    Angry

    I'm creeping closer again....was a bit of a shock when I lost the ability to post on SC. Having bought a Sub from a member here before, then told I had to wait until 250 posts to buy again was like taking away a credit card!

    Clever way to bump your post count, OP. Maybe I'll start my own "almost there" thread.

    The plot thickens. Although I have only 85 posts to my name, I have been a member since '08 - yet I have no posting privileges in SC. I can read but not post. I'm hoping it's a software glitch... or maybe I'm just being thick and have misinterpreted the rules. Knowing me, probably the latter .

    That's correct. You need 250 posts to post in SC.

    True - but I thought it was a posts made and/or time served type of formula. I've searched The Rules but can find no answer there. Yesterday I may have stumbled upon a thread which talked about something like, "50 posts / 30 days to view... 250 posts / 180 days to post" but it could just as easily have been a dream.

    It's a great idea to restrict access to a sales section - and many forums do it, quite rightly - but may I perhaps suggest that The Formula is pinned somewhere prominent, in order to help new members?

    boo, ive got a long way to go before i can even look in this mysterious section.

    Thank you Ray.

    Even though I didn't actually purchase it from SC, I have indeed already bought myself another watch!
    Damn forum!

    Haha... so very, very true. Should pin that somewhere, also. Btw: please, please note my above comment was not a complaint - in fact, quite the opposite!

    I am thinking that posts about approaching the SC post limit are a bit cheeky. Oh wait....
