Hi @Ksenia!
Before anything else, welcome to the BabyPips community! We’re happy to have you.
Our new Forum platform, Discourse, uses Trust Levels to handle the promotion of your user account and access to more features and responsibilities. This is a departure from how we used to do the same thing on vBulletin, which exclusively based on post count.
As a New User (Trust Level 0), here are some things you still cannot do:
- Send private messages to other users
- Reply as new topic in the right gutter (UI removed)
- Flag posts
- Post any images
- Post any attachments
- Post any hyperlinks in a post
- Have actual links in the ‘about me’ field of their profile (will be silently and temporarily converted to plain text)
- Mention more than 2 users in a post
To know more about Trust Levels, please feel free to visit this post from Pipstradamus:
Hope this helps!
