no access to marketplace after 250 posts and a 1.5 year member?

[gnychis]

Hi all,

I have over 250 posts and I've been an active member since 2009, but I don't have access to the marketplace. Does anyone know why this could be?

Thanks!
George

It takes a while before the system recognises you have more than 250 posts, so just wait some hours, as you have made your 250th post less eight minutes ago.

A look at the FAQs would have answered your question:

Only users with a history of 250 posts (user title 6502 or higher) and membership for at least 6 months can access the Marketplace forum. Only users with a history of 100 posts can post in the Politics, Religion, Social Issues forum. If you start a "for sale" thread or political thread in another forum to avoid this rule, your thread will be deleted. Once you reach 100 or 250 posts, you may not immediately be able to post in these forums. The privilege is added automatically when the forum system does routine processing, so check again in a few hours. The delay is normal, so please do not contact us to report it as a problem on the same day that you reach 100 or 250 posts. When you first gain access to the Marketplace forum, you will see it in the Community section of the forums.

thanks for that, I was reading the rules page but I didn't see this.
