Actually this process / system is no longer relevant. We no longer are blocking spammers this way any more. If you are having problems posting please start a new topic with VERY detailed answers to these questions: • What is the URL of the page that you got the error or had problems? • Did...

Which browser and version are you using (eg., Firefox 3.5.9, Internet Explorer 7, etc.)

Here are a few questions that will help us find, duplicate, and hopefully resolve the problem: • Did you receive any error messages (if yes, what were they)? • What were the exact steps, pages, clicks, etc. you tried? Please be as specific as possible so we can copy exactly what you did. •...

You should both be able to post pictures, etc. without problem.

Claudette, there shouldn't be anything blocking you from asking questions. If you are having problems, please reply with the steps you are taking and any error messages you are receiving.

Just report the post. Our staff are experts and differentiating what is and isn't spam.

It isn't something that we edited / deleted on our side. Sorry if it was lost while you were editing or updating.

Thanks for the feedback. Believe us, we've done a TON of analysis and tests to limit the affect on legit members. We're happy to report that the process of moving from "new" to "not new" and being able to post pictures is VERY VERY easy!

If you simply participate in our community for a little bit, our system will determine that you aren't "new" and will let you post pics.

Whoops, sorry, I thought I had announced it already. With all the other changes and upgrades to the system we also added an ad after the first posts for guests only. These are ads provided by Google's ad network.
