Okay, considering that I made an account less then 24 hours ago and I have 8 activity points.
It should take me less then a week if I'm consistent.
About avatar, yes it will take me a while.
When was the forum hacked!
You don't get an avatar for quite some time. I think you may have to wait until full member. As for images, your links will show up. You could ask a more senior member to quote your post and then they'll show up as images.
That's nice.
I'll post in my thread for someone with higher rank to quote it.
Thank you
