Title: Unable to reply in For sale?
Post by: oo1005 on October 20, 2012, 06:58:52 pm
Hi, probably not the right section but cannot PM yet or find an email for admin/mods...

I understand that I wouldn't be able to start a new for sale post but should I be able to reply to one? I'm looking at buying a few parts to upgrade my golf but I am unable to reply..?

Cheers

Phil

To be fair that doesn't say how many posts you need to reply to a For Sale advert...

Yes, though it's not exactly worded very well in the guidelines...

Members can only post a For Sale advert once have reached 25 posts, please also note the posting rule in the For Sale section otherwise your advert will be removed without notice.

That suggests to me you need 25 posts to list an advert, not reply to one.

That's how I read it, which is surprised that I couldn't reply to a for sale advert... Shame.

10 posts to reply, it's linked to the logic of PMs not being available until you have 10 posts :happy2:
