having issues with the transition of TE, i had every level to PM on the old site. it’s not there on the new one @mods please work on this.
Check the thread above. Only users who satisfy the criteria mentioned there get access to messaging and market section. If you had made all your posts in technical sections within a span of 2 to 3 days to gain market access, then your privileges would have been revoked automatically during this transition.
Hi, i still cant figure out how to reply on the Maketplace threads. Please let me know
I believe you need to have 25 replies on technical threads to unlock those privileges.
Hi, i dont have the marketplace access and someone is selling something that i really want, he said pm for more details how do i pm
You need to purchase Plus subscription.
@Renegade
fr??? you NEED a subscription to dm someone?? what if i get the marketplace access?
You can get marketplace access/DM privilege for free by gaining basic member level for which you need to make 25 posts on 15 different days in relevant sections which exclude marketplace & general forum section. Paid subscription is mainly for those new members who either can’t wait or don’t want the hassle of making 25 posts on 15 different days. Also, don’t go on posting low effort posts just to meet the quota as that will likely result in ban.
Ohh got it, thank you so much
Ive been trying to unlock the DM and marketplace role as well, does it has to be 15 consecutiive days?
15 different days, consecutive or not doesn’t matter. Also, posts need to be made in relevant sections & not marketplace/general section.
Is there any way to check how many more posts are required? How many more days are required? Which posts count and which do not?
Go to your profile and check trader rating.
I seem to have lost access to marketplace since the website got updated to discourse. Any pointers to fix that? My profile says I have been active for 14 days. My account is 14 years old and I sure have been active for hundreds of days. Hoping that I’ll get access tomorrow when those 15 days will complete.
Another note: If you login via Google instead of using the gmail id as email for login, it seems that the account is treated as a fresh one. I logged back in using my email id and it shows the gmail id as a connected account.
The 15 day limit is for making the 25 posts. These posts should be spread over 15 days rather than all posts being on 1 or 2 days. Your profile shows that you have made more the required number of posts in 14 days. Post something meaningful in one of the technical sections for one more day, and you will reach the threshold. It takes another 24 hours since then for the market access to be automatically enabled.
Is this a new rule in the forum? I had marketplace access earlier, and have bought and sold things for a few years now.
I read the How-To s for the new site and understood that the new system has some requirements. I don’t see the trader tab under my profile though.
Just bought plus today, i was also facing same issue.
Looks like I have met the criteria, but I still can’t post in the marketplace section.
