I've been trying to find a way to change my profile photo in this forum but apparently in the "Profiles" tag I was virtually unable to find an "upload" button.
The forum does not have a profile photo option. Only avatars, which can be used by full member rank and above only.
When I clicked it it didn't show what you will get from such membership
Copper membership lifts some of the limitations put on a newbie account account.
By popular demand, newbies can now pay to have some of their restrictions lifted. If you pay the fee, you become a Copper Member, and you can post images. That's the main point of this: allowing newbies to post images. Additionally (and these might change depending on how things go), Copper Members currently have these bonuses:
- Some of the same permissions as Member-rank members, such as reduced signature styling restrictions. (But none of the PM-related restrictions are currently lifted, such as the style limit or per-hour PM limit.)
- Your "you must wait ____ seconds between ___" counter is reduced by 75%. So if you're naturally of Newbie rank, you only have to wait 360-75% = 90 seconds.
If you paid an "evil IP" registration fee, then whatever you paid (in BTC terms) is subtracted from the upgrade fee. If you paid a registration fee a long time ago, you might even get a free Copper Membership due to the increase in BTC price. Just visit the link at the bottom of this post to check whether you have it already.
Edit*
Also, when I insert an IMGUR image link, it didn't show the image but it suddenly became a link under [img] tag
This is one of the limitations on newbie account which can be lifted by purchasing copper membership. As a newbie images are not displayed in your posts but image links
