This is the first time I have logged in for a few years. I have 30 posts but still can't access my Profile page or other settings. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

EDIT: I see I have to wait an hour to upgrade. Thanks.

Hello, I'm new to this forum.
I cannot access the control panel.
Therefore I cannot edit my profile and other settings.
Is it because I come from europe?
Any help is appreciated...thanks in advance.

You need to reach 20 posts in order to edit your profile.

Why can't I upload an avatar or see my profile? I received the activation link on my email and followed the link but still nothing...

[Conn Seanery]

Look at the top of the forum.

Thank you man, it's much appreciated. A bit unfortunate I have to pay for spammers though... but oh well.

Haha...oh.

New here. Decided to try out CBR's community since they're probably the most popular, but I'm open for other options like Comic Vine and Comic Book Realm. If you guys have any suggestions, let me know. I must admit the waiting period before getting officially activated is quite offputting. I don't mind waiting until my 20th post if that means more activity and less spam, but we should at least be able to view profiles and settings. That way, prospecting members like me can have an idea of what kind of community this is. Do we have fleshed-out profiles meant to socially network with other users? Or is it just for identity purpose used strictly for discussion and posting in forums? How about pull list, currently reading, friends list, and collection for trading? Are those on our profiles?

Profiles on the forums are limited. The main emphasis of these forums is to discuss things on the boards.

You can add a little about yourself in terms of info (short bio, location, interest, occupation.) There are also visitor messages (kinda like a facebook wall) for short messages to and from other users. There is also a friends list which is more about for how people view and post on your profile.
