hi all

I don't now why, but i can't change my avatar;)

"
RobFilm, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

  1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
  2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation."

The only think I would like to say is that WTF!!!
 
Hey, Rob. This was most likely due to the fact that you hadn't made a post yet on the forum. Unfortunately, there is a pesky group of spammers that I call "profile spammers". These are people who join the site (and never post, which makes it harder to notice them) and edit their profiles to include spammy links to porn, scams, etc, etc... Then, they send out bulk spam emails that link to their dvxuser profile pages. This causes us to get reported by the recipients of those spam messages, b/c they see links to dvxuser.

So, when you join the forum, after you get approved, you have to make at least one post in order to move past that restriction. I see you now have two posts, and were able to change your avatar. But, I just wanted to let you know the reason why you couldn't, and why the restriction is in place.

Take care.

I've been trying to figure out why I can't change my avatar when I have an old account with 1.6K posts.
