That's weird. Are they very recent posts? Postcounts aren't updated immediately, but they should be within an hour or two.
[Edit - ah, he had a dupli-post during a server hiccup. Looks like they didn't get counted.]

There are many different ways to use forums. Well over 50% of my posts contain links and/or images. This thread is an exception.
And a lot of them are link heavy for very good reasons - see:http://www.goodman-games.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=44169&p=98442#p98442

To be fair that - excellent - thread is not typical of the sort of thread started by a new user. By far the most common starting thread is a rules question. I think you may be overestimating the inconvenience to the user body as a whole, while I can certainly appreciate that individual cases do get hit harder by it.

Thanks!
For the record - this is my attempt at a first post here (which I had to hold in a window until I did the 10-post hoop): http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...m-Control-amp-New-Users&p=6106083#post6106083
I see starting a topic/thread as something I wouldn't usually start off with at a board I've never visited before. I usually start by contributing something helpful to a thread that already exists, easing my way in.
Though, I often post a biography pretty soon after, and that always contains photos/videos, and links.
Just another n00b datapoint...

Well I was in wysiwyg mode with photos - so when I cut-an-pasted to a text editor the photos were lost.
I did back-it-up to MSWord, but it turned out that this version of Vbulletin does maintain a draft copy of work in progress automatically, so I didn't need it.
