    So I am trying to post a new thread under progressing hacks for my hack of Pokemon FireRed, but every time I try to post it is says that I can't post links until I post 5 times, but there was no links in it. Does this mean I can't post photos? Is it just impossible to post my hack until I make five posts? Even without photos it wont let me post it, with the same message that I can't post links, which there was none of.

    Glitch seems to have stopped for now, and yeah I found out posting images counts as a link for some reason, so basically I cant post my hack till I make five posts.

    Seems to have fixed itself for now, but it was really annoying and I hope it doesn't happen again...

    There is currently a glitch where you cant post smilies because the program thinks smilies are links.
    That is the strange glitch u are talking about.

    Images hosted on another site count as links/URLs as far as the filter is concerned.

    It's a policy in place to prevent spambots from actually posting links.
     
    Woah, so many of you guys replied so quickly! Thanks for fast responses! Does replying count as a post perchance? Or do I seriously need to make five separate posts? Not that that is to much work.
     
    I think that the website was just updating really slowly then? Cuz I had no smiley faces or links when I took the photo out.... strange.
