    New rules are in place for all users of Boards.ie.

    These rules affect all users who have less than 25 posts and have been registered for less than 7 days.
    User who do not fulfill both requirements will be unable to post attachments, images or links

    New rules in place from 18/10/2016:
    5 posts and an account that's 24 hours old are required to be able to post pics / links.

    (Steve) Update:

    You can use a site such as www.wthax.org or similar to upload your images.

    When you upload, you will see a box that has bb code to post an image on a forum such as here.

    It looks like this:

    [noparse]*some_random_identifier*.jpg[/noparse]

    When you post your ad, if you PM the mods here with the bb code and a link to your ad, we will post them on your behalf.

    Ok sorry if this is me being stupid but this new rule does not make sense to me. So if someone new joins boards and wanted to sell off they're airsoft gear they can start a thread but upload no pictures? Is this correct?

    Correct. New members may not upload any type of attachments.
    This is a site wide policy

    Just my opinion here but this new rule seems like bad news for any sales threads on boards. All you hear is airsoft sales are dead on boards and this could help prove that. So no new members can ad pics of the items they are selling until they get 50 posts and are members for over 7 days. Facebook sites get more views, aren't moderated and can upload pics no matter who it is yet boards you now can't upload pics until your on over 7 days and have 50 posts, has less viewing people and is well moderated ( a good thing it's moderated in my opinion) just seems like it could push new members away. Only my opinion but sounds like this could ruin the airsoft sales on boards!

    Not true about the PM's. Plenty of other members have managed it.
