Just be patient, and chatty. It'll go away in no time.

I'm in the noob boat too, despite being 41, and been doing "This shit" for many decades. 😜

I have no shortage of stuff I can contribute here, and have been a long-time lurker. I finally joined to talk in the sbemu thread in Marvin/Sound. Just be patient, it'll happen in due time.

Thanks, but I'd prefer to just know the magic number.

I don't think the magic numbers are advertised.

Of course, it has to be, hasn't it? Should've figured it out myself. 😄

Edit: it's not 42. 🙁

I'm guessing it's related to the amount of messages one has posted? Asking because it'd be nice to be able to send PMs.

People generally think the same way. Tech people even more so. So you can expect something like 100-500-1000 comments for certain forum ranks.

When I started on Vogons in the 2000s, it was about half of that, though the number has changed in the meantime maybe. 😉
