Hello everyone here. Greetings from Toronto, Canada.

Photography has been my hobby since my junior school days.
I still remember my first camera was the Kodak Brownie Fiesta which my uncle bought me when I was around 8 or 9 years old. I never took any photos with this camera because I didn't have the funds to buy a roll of film.

I just signed Photrio today. I like to post to the For Sale forum, but keep getting "You have insufficient privileges to reply here".
What do I have to do to obtain sufficient privileges to post? Your help is appreciated.

Thank you very much.
Yann

This is correct if all you wish to do is ask questions with respect to someone else's listing.

Good morning and thank you to all the friends who replied. Really appreciate your help.

There is a line at the top of my screen: Due to recent spam issues, private messages to fellow members will not be available until you have posted at least 20 (genuine, not filler) messages in our public forum area or have a paid subscription to Photrio. You must also be registered for at least 5 days. " Maybe I have to wait 5 days before I can post.

Please refer to no. #3. @MattKing has explained it; I'll do it once more:

To reply to a thread in the Classifieds section, you need to be registered >5 days and you need >=20 posts. These conditions also apply to initiating private conversations with other members. We often enable this before these conditions are met if a user requests us so. This is also explained in this thread: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/how-the-classifieds-section-works-read-this-first.204146 That thread is fairly easy to find (or so I thought):

To post an ad in the classifieds, you need a paid Subscriber account. This is also explained in the FAQ I linked to above.

I was trying to post a point and it didn't work. Do you have to click on a check mark or something?

On which thread?
Unless a thread ban has been imposed manually on you - which is unlikely - there should be no restriction.
Every once in a while there can be a very brief delay while the system is involved in a maintenance procedure.

Hello Sirius,
Thanks for your reply. How can I create 20 posts? I cannot upload to New Media and I cannot reply to Classified, etc.
Look like I can only access this forum.
