Hi all. An almost everynight field herper here

[KraitedCobra]

I found this forum through google search, and was amazed by the number of active members here.
I joined this forum to discuss herping, snake/reptile species and to share experiences and tips on finding snakes.

I tried to make my first thread in field herping last night, but got denied. I used the "Contact" option on the forum to report the problem i encountered.
Still no answer today, so i did a quick search today "post denied" and found a thread with a guy with the same problem, a moderator replied he didn't remember, but he wrote that you needed to make atleast 5 post "or something" first.
It should had been stated in the FAQ, if not it should be stated in the "Post denied" error i got.
Information is the key to all knowledge, i found the information only bec another memeber made a thread about the problem, if not i would not know..
I assume the moderators/forum owners daily have to go through about the same text sendt through the contact form, as i did.
Why not lessen your pain by adding it as information?
Sorry if it is stated somewhere, but i could not find it.

Anyway, thanks for letting me in. I'm soon out for herping from twilight until the batteries are empty in my flashlight.

Cheers :cool:

Well they just implemented the post count because of spammers. Other than that do you have any other complaints?

Welcome.

[KraitedCobra]

Thanks ;)
Haha. Nah, it's just that a big serious forum like this should provide information for the users, for both the user not be left in his chair with a big question mark, and for the admins not to be the ones who get spammed with questions they could avoid :)

Cheers

Hello and welcome. So what kind of reptiles do you keep?

[KraitedCobra]

Hi. I did keep alot of different sakes for awhile in a 3 square meter custom made aquarium. I released them, and gave away the aquarium.
These days i only keep new snake species i've catched over night in a bag for picture and/or video shooting in daylight the day after.
I'm in the opinion that reptiles, or should i say animals in general, belongs in the wild, not in a aquarium or a zoo.

Cheers

Anyone know the exact post count needed to open a thread and post pictures? I now have 5 as the information i have found in this forum is the amount of post needed to be allowed to open new threads and post pictures...
It would be great if i could post my thred before i leave in about an 1,5 half hour, so i could read opinions when i come back later tonight

Thanks

You can post a new thread whenever but the picture has a limit of 5-10. I can't remember.

[KraitedCobra]

That's strange because it's exactly 5 pictures in total..

Thanks

[KraitedCobra]

Hah. There, now it finally/suddenly worked :)

Hi and welcome to the forum :-)

You can post a new thread whenever but the picture has a limit of 5-10. I can't remember.

This should've read as follows: To post pictures you need a post count of at least 5-10.

Hey there. I'm new too and had the same issues with posting. I had intended my intro thread to be pic laden, but it wouldn't let me. I'm posting this reply after submitting my intro thread for moderator review. :)
