    I would like to buy an item from the classifieds but it says I have insufficient privileges. How do I get so that I can buy.

    i know you are supposed to have 10 posts to be able to contact a member that has a part you need. ive been a member since 2018 i know not very long but i have in the past 2018,2019 2020 been able to start a conversation with a member and buy there parts. now i can not even start a conversation with mr. chevrolet because he has a vintage air unit i would like to buy. i dont understand why i could start a conversation before but can not now.

    it is a new rule to combat the problems we have had with scammers in the classifieds. Pretty simple for you just visit the forum and post on some threads....

    I'm in the same boat on buying in the classified section. Been a member for a while but haven't posted.

    Have just checked out your posts and must give you a pat on the back for actually getting properly involved. Most guys in your situation just post up random, stupid shit to get to 10. Refreshing to get someone with some common sense.

  11. Hey Mike, Ryan has said that once your post count is there, it may take the server up to 24 hours to recognize it, so just a heads up man.
     
  12. Very refreshing. Now you guys know how Glenn Ford might of felt at the end of Blackboard Jungle. :)

    Mike , Same Boat, Ive been a member since '07 Bought plenty of things from other HAMB'ers
    And recently tried to buy and was told same thing, 'insufficient privileges'
     
  16. I guess the years of service should outweigh your post count, wouldn't think a scammer would hang out for 20 years, but i gotta say, 13 years is a lot of time to make 10 posts. What are you fellas afraid of? I bet you're a blast to hang around in person. Probably a bunch of weird guys that build pipe bombs in your basement.

  21. ............Perhaps if you had gotten a bit more involved with this community over the last few years that wouldn't be the case. Surely you can summon up the initiative to tell someone that their car looks nice or offer up some sage tidbits of wisdom when someone has a problem that needs to be addressed. It's a community my man. Mingle.:)

    Haha, good one . Not afraid just not a big keyboard guy unless need be. To many other things to do. Have had great correspondence when purchasing parts . I have been on it long enough and seen it turn into a shark frenzy to were Ryan had to put an end to it.
    And why yes ! I am a blast to hang out with in person, must be why my keyboard time isnt up to snuff. And no basement {mom didnt have a basement either}no pipe bombs. But thanks for concluding . Haha.

  27. Don’t get too excited and start thinking about a booking at a comedy club. Right now we are a real easy audience because of the lock down. ;)

    And fickle, don't forget fickle. Spin on a dime and bite sometimes, we do.

    Here's something that may describe us reasonably well.
    Roses are red,
    Violets are blue,
    I'm schitzophrenic,
    And so am I..............o_O
