maximum of 0 characters? My profile won't let me edit it!

I am new to this site. I tried to edit/fill in my profile, but when I type ANYTHING into any of the fields I get a red message that says the maximum amount of characters allowed is 0 characters...? Weird...

Anyone know how to fix this or experiencing the same thing?

Welcome to the forum, manicpenguin. I love your username!

Now that you've made a few posts, try again. It should work fine. The 0 character is a restriction on very new users. Because a sorry number of them want to sell us Uggs and Viagra. So we have restrictions on avatars, signatures and other profile info just to limit that.

If you still have a problem with it. Post again or drop me a PM. And we'll get it sorted out.

Yes Ada is right. You need a minimum number of posts until you can edit your profile and signature. Just keep posting a few more times until you are able to fill in the sections you wish to complete.

I have written about this here: member-corner/topic112840.html#p1127977 You may find other things I've written in that thread useful also...
