[tiffanyg]

I have absolutely NO idea how to use this site, lol. Every link i try to go to says i cannot access this,
has this happened to anybody else?
Also how do i add a picture to my profile??

Hi!

you need to make 20 posts - wherever you can, in the introductions forum and free chat. once you complete 20 posts you may get a premier membership, which is $20 and allows you to see the rest of the site in all its glory. :lol:

Thank you! I'm slowly getting the hang of the site. It takes some time doing 20 posts though! :shuffle:

[boogalooz]

:)

you've got 7 left.

[tiffanyg]

It's taking forever! haha
the countdown is on!

[boogalooz]

2 to go....

[tiffanyg]

How do I know when I have enough??

[tiffanyg]

I counted 21,
but I still can't access anything??

[gogirl]

Now it should say you're a pre-premier member, and then once you pay to be a premier member (and are granted the membership) you'll have access to the premier member stuff... from what I understand.

Yep! That's how it works! :)

[tiffanyg]

It's not showing it though :search: Any ideas as to when it will show???

[Desiree4]

Don't worry, I was confused and after reading you thread discussion, it made me understand, so THANKS!!

[gogirl]

Not sure. I still have a few posts to go... will see if it shows up for me shortly.

[Desiree4]

Have you paid the dues yet, because that may be the hold up.

[gogirl]

Hmmm... good point Desiree.... and THAT's 20! Woo-hoo!

[Daze]

I was just about to ask you that.

If you've paid it can take a day or two, just to let you know. :)

[Desiree4]

but great work in getting 20!!!!

[gogirl]

I'm copying this from the "I'm new....." page, in case it helps. "Please note: after your required 20 posts have been completed it takes aprox 5-10 minutes for the community program to read that you have move up your membership to "Pre-premier" status. Please be patient."

[Desiree4]

any change yet?

I'm glad I found this thread! Where are the free posts?

[Ryninonare]

After you post in Introduce Yourself, you can post in Registered Members Chat until you become a premier member.

I'm glad I found this thread! Where are the free posts?

You can post questions or chat with others in the Registered Members Chat click here (http://www.calgarymomscommunity.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2314) or you can simply welcome fellow new moms to the community in the introduce yourself forum. :)

Have fun! :D

[msmekal]

welcome!

I joned this site thinking it was a free site, being a stay at home mom and looking to interact with other moms was what I was aiming at.

Hi,

the site does have a few free areas for registered members where you can chat with other moms. However, playdates, moms night out, clubs and such are privileges for premier members only. The payment is more symbolic than anything and it is partly for security reasons. Hope that helps :).

[Jocasta]

I think the fee is a good idea to get people who are genuinely interested, I just find the 20 posts when you really only have access to the Introduce Yourself forum a bit much as it's basically just saying "Welcome" 20 times so I don't see how that helps. I think maybe less posts would be better but that's just my 2c, looking forward to the other side (1 post closer now :))!

How do you tell how many you have left? I feel like I've made 100 posts...at least I've probably read 100 threads:) it's hard posting for alot of this stuff as it has been finished for weeks:)

[avery]

nevermind, I just figured it out!

[brandy78]

I am new to this site and trying figure it out and find my way around. How does one find out there status and get into other parts of the site, it says I am not allowed to access anything?????

[NikkiJ84]

I was a bit skeptical about paying, but I thought it's only $20 (I've wasted more on a bad pair of shoes) if this is a waste of time then at worst I'll be a bit angry with myself and if everyone else is paying $20 they're not gonna waste it bitching and ganging up on people!

[mandagurl]

I'm glad I read this thread, I had no clue either!

[Theta72]

Hi all, I'm new here (obviously!), and am looking for new Moms in the Sandstone/MacEwan area. I have a 7 week old baby girl and a 12 year old boy. (!! I know, huge age difference!!) If you have a baby and are looking for a walking buddy, I'm looking for the same!

[mellis]

Why does it have to be so complicated...are we not busy enough in day-to-day life?

[bailey]

So at one point in time it sadi that I had 36 posts and now if just says that I have 5 in the top corner, but 16 by my name..... not going to lie this site is super confusing....any help?

you now have 18 posts.. ;)

[bailey]

so do i have to get 20 now? a lady on a different thread said i needed 5

[Q-TPiesMom]

Bailey if you look at when this thread was started was back in 2008 the rules have changed as Britt has said its gonna take a little while a few days for this to get right with you with echeck
Its worth it in the end promise

[MammaMeg]

I have to admit, I'm finding this very hard too! I hope I can get my posts soon!! I'd really like to join so that I know what's going on. It's become a bit of an obsession...I hope it's worth the trouble!

[holloway]

MammaMeg you only need 5 posts to become a Pre-premier member (which you are) and then you just need to pay your membership fee and you are Premier!! I think it used to be 20 posts... but I just joined and have less posts than you and am premier. Hope this helps! :o)

[nety]

you only need 5 posts now, then if you like, pay the $20 membership fee and you will have access to the rest of the forums
