How does a well-known member post a design contest?

Hi, Can someone tell me how I can post a design contest?

Thank you in advance and Happy New Year!

 

I believe you need to be an Established member (3 likes from 3 different established members) or you need to buy Premium membership.

Thank you Malky66. I read those but was still unclear and thought to ask directly in case I was missing something.

 

Actually, is there a link to explain the different kinds of members? I have noticed Acclaimed, like yourself, and others. Are those members established members? Thank you for directing me. Cheers!

 

Not that I'm aware of, I think the member status is based on the amount of trophy points you've collected nothing to do with being Established.
Don't get too hung up on status it doesn't really mean anything once you're Established.

 

OK got it, that makes sense. One more question, how can I like a post or do I need to wait to be Established? There is an Armchair Dining thread I just read and I would love to "like" a number of posts.

 

You have 3 likes now, I believe you need to wait for a cron job to run before your status is updated, once that is done you should receive a notification that you are established and can start liking posts.

 

You will soon notice a *Like* button on the bottom right hand corner right next to the *Quote* & *Reply* button.

 

Thank you.
