Hi, below my user name is the word inactive and I cannot reply to market posts. Is there any way to fix this?
Inactive and cannot reply to market post
- Thread starter novas242001
- Start date
I am a member since 2017 and I was able to trade before and I have positives ratings and no negative ratings as well. Can you point me to the exact requirement that I have yet to fulfill?
Thank you.
Thank you.

They have made it as clear as possible. Not sure how people still find it hard to read/comprehend. Can you tell us what is confusing about this? I understand you were able to access it before but rules change, they are not carved in stone.

What exactly do posts mean? Do replies count as posts? Or do I need to start threads. This is my first time on a forum so pardon my newbie-ness.

Don't worry, it's a legitimate doubt that I had as well. Replies do count as posts, but only in the technical sections (the social lounge and marketplace don't count).
I feel the wording could be improved for more clarity, since other new members might have the same doubts as well @Renegade
This is probably a bit too long, but something like this could help eliminate any doubts:
"To access the marketplace, you must have at least 25 meaningful posts (either threads or replies) in the forum’s technical sections. These include areas focused on programming, emerging tech, hardware, networking, and other tech-related topics. Posts in off-topic, general discussion, or marketplace sections do not count toward this requirement."

If you are on PC, just hover your mouse on your username, or on phone, tap your username once.
The first number, Messages 21, is your post count. If you reply in non-technical sections, it won't increase. If you reply in a technical section, it will increase.
On a side note, this should be clearer. @mods, can we use the same title everywhere, "posts" instead of messages here, so that it is easily understood?
I have 32 messages but still can't reply on marketplace. Very vague rules to promote people to pay for subscription.
