I don't understand about "getting your post count up"

[lexeka]

What is that about? Someone said to come on here and wish people a 'happy birthday' in order to get your count up. I am SO confused!:confused3

[portia9]

To the left of your message there is a box that has your name and your post count. You have 4 posts. When you post then it adds to that number.

[Disney Crazy Debbie]

Plus, after you post so many your title changes. For instance, right now you are "Earning Your Ears" and when you have posted 75 messages you will be retitled "Mousekeeter", etc.

How many titles are there???

[drgreene1096]

Happy birthday! LOL!

[GoofyTraci]

too funny. i have been on the dis message board for almost a year and havent really figured that out too. i just post when i have something to say or something to ask.

[Suzerella]

How many posts do you need before you can post pictures?

[dnoyes]

As you can see I'm not very good at running up the post count. After 6 years I don't even have 200. That's about 1 every other week I think.

[the_princess]

How many posts do you need before you can post pictures?

I think it's 5... but i'm not sure

[Ellasgirls]

Wow...I didn't know you had to have a certain number of posts before you could post pictures. Now if I just knew HOW to post pictures easier I would be in business :)

[maktrk96]

This post count and all is just to confusing.lol

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

You need 10 posts in order to post pictures.

Posting pictures is really easy. Here are the steps

1)Open a free account on photobucket

2)Upload the pictures you want to post from your computer to the photobucket account. This is really easy and quick.

3)Once the picture is in the photobucket account you can post it here on the disboards. Simply click on the picture in photobucket and on the bottom right of the screen there will be an option for posting on a message board. Just copy that and paste it into your post. You can also resize the image in photobucket if you want it to be smaller. There is a box on top of the picture that says resize. Just click on that and choose the size you want it to become. I mostly use the message board option when resizing my pictures.

That is it. It's simple!

Hope this clears things up!

How do you get to where you can send a PM to someone? I keep getting "your count is too low". How many messages do you have to send before you can PM someone?:confused3

Just to let you know what happens on the DIS from time to time, people will enter the word "bump" just so they will get a response to a thread that interest them. I didn't get that for a while but it helps when you are interested in something posted but have no comment.

I mean, where can I find a resource that explains when you earn your ears and become a Mouseketeer and all that?

Good thing to know. It's annoying to see people put in something completely irrevlevant to a thread to just get their post number up. I've read some threads where almost 1/2 of it has NOTHING to do with anything. It's a waste!

[Mickeysangel49]

To the best of my knowledge (and someone please correct me if I'm wrong! :guilty: ) you need 10 posts to e-mail, PM or post pictures, 75 to become a Mouseketeer, :yay: and 500 :scared1: to become a DIS Veteran. Those are the only categories.

HTH! :disrocks:

How many to become a :earsgirl: Mouseketeer?:earsboy:
I see one person has 50 and isn't a Mouseketeer and someone has 78 and is. So is it 75?

That is a graphic you can add to your signature if you are a member of the Wish Boards here on the DIS. The Wish boards are a place you can go if you are trying to lose weight/or stay healthy. You can find exercise challenges, support groups and recipes over there. That particular graphic you posted indicates that you are a member of the Wish Boards and that you have lost 15 pounds.

Thanks. That's nice. I think I'll make a goal to lose $15 before my June 2008 trip. I've already lost 30lbs after DS and DD were born. Could use just a little more.

[jenseib]

The only reason I can see to get your post count up is so you can PM and post pictures and things like that. I never look at peoples titles unless they are changed to something else. I don't think it is a vanity thing for alot of us.

But the birthday board thing is a good idea. Go there and wish people happy birthday and you will get your post number higher to be able to do the other things that newbies can't do right away.

[Thumper1980]

It does seem a silly rule that you need the 10 posts before you can Post a picture. But I suspect 10 posts is too much trouble for those who abuse the internet.

[Eyore4Ever149]

post counts can help in other ways too. For example I have noticed that those with extremely low post counts should be careful not to pick fights in non-debate boards- or may be labeled a "troll"

Also, if you even become interested in renting DVC points, renters prefer to rent to those who have been a part of the community for a little while. And can review all your previous posts (to see that they are more than just "post" builders, but people who are contributing to the boards, asking questions, answering questions, etc. Although since the DIS is an open board and its HUGE now compared to a number of years ago.
