    Hello,
    I am trying to run a logo contest, which I have done in the past. I have been a member for some time and I believe I have the required number of likes, but I can't seem to post. I have run other successful contests. Please advise. Thank you for your time.

    Change of status from member to established member is not instantaneous. A CRON job runs periodically to check for status upgrades.

    I guess the CRON has already updated the OP's status. He has already opened a thread in BST (which I pointed out in my previous post) and as I can see, he is also an Established Member now.

    I seem to be having the same problem... I receive the right number of likes 2 hours ago and still unable to create a contest.
    Do you know how often the CRON job is run?

    *** Update... for people in the future ***
    The CRON just ran... It's been 2.5 hours since i met the requirements... so I guess the CRON can take a few hours to update itself

    To become established a member must have likes from three distinct members. Likes in some forum do not count toward becoming established.
