How come I can't add pics or copy and paste yet? It said I have to be up to 500, but what does that mean? Does that mean I have to wait until the number by my name says 500? Or is it another number or 'level'? I just want to add some pretty pictures!! Let me know!

you have to have at leeast 500 posts in order for you to be a full pledged myLot users. Then you will have the copy and paste features available to you. Good luck. You are close to 100 post already and when you reach it, you will be given a star.

Excellent reply that's for sure I know I couldn't of said it better than that... I think the more you reply and the more you post the faster you will get there... We all have been there at one time that's for sure.. Yeah it is a bit frustrating but it also helps control people from just taking massive text and pasting it to make a few cents... In my oppion though copy and paste shouldn't be a option everything should be written out in text... I mean why copy a story everyone can read them selfs you know... Just my oppion...

Yes, I do agree. I just hate having things that I've already written and have to re-write them word for word. I also want to add pics to my writings as I haven't seen very many when I've been looking around on posts. Thanks!

I think you have to have 500 posts to do any of that picture stuff...

What do you mean in the post/responses? I've tried to copy pics and I can't. Is that only because I can't copy and paste yet or do they give you another option for adding pictures? I'm still kind of new so I don't get it although I see you are as new as I so is there something I'm missing?

Oh now on that you may have to use the html (if they allow it) to put that in post, but you would have to write out the code since you are not over 500, or if you can save it to your comp and use the upload photo option.

Yes that's exactly what it means. It's a bummer I know but it's to keep spammers out of here. So keep on posting, you'll reach it before you know it. We all had to wait and we all did it, you can too!

it's true that you can't copy and paste here until your participation number reaches 500.i'm striving for it now.while i'm not sure whether uploading pictures matters or not.i tried to add it after i reached 100 with a star besides my name. anyway,you're near to getting your star.3 responses more,you'll get your star.why not to have a try? good luck!

When the number in the parentheses next to your name says 100, you will be able to add pictures to discussions you start. When it hits 200, you will be able to use the smileys. When it is at 500, you will be able to cut/paste and add photos to your responses. That number is how many posts you have done- discussions and responses, comments aren't included in that. hth!
