Because you need to be a Junior member and to be one, you need 42 30 points of activity and 1 merit.

Here's a useful thread: FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit.

Thank you. Written in the bottom large text box that being Junior member take a month and a half? Does getting merit speed it up? Can you please explain?

Merit isn't a number that increases based on your time you've been active here. It's a unit that it's been sent to users from other users to define the value of a post. Once you receive 2 merits, you'll be able to send 1 merit to someone else. People usually spend their sMerits to useful posts, so if you see a member with high merit count, it means that he/she has been helpful to the community.

You have reached 28 points of activity, but you haven't received any merits.

Well, thank you. I know that already. I just saw the bottom box wrote that you will be junior member in 1.5 month. Just was confused.

Next activity adjustment is in 5th of May. You'll most likely reach the required activity that day.

If you don't want to wait you can start posting images right away after buying a copper membership:

It's 30 Activity points and 1 merit.

That’s how the systems worked before the Merit System was introduced on January 2018; it was solely based on Activity, so that is the time it roughly too to reach Jr. Member back then. The post was modified to include the Merit requirement just above what you read and elsewhere, but the Activity table heading could perhaps do with a "you’ll also need to gain the required Merits to the Rank" caption.

Broadly speaking, Merits take longer to reach than Activity, when it comes to meeting the requirements of a given rank.
