thanks, but I didn't really find anything that specifies how exactly it is I'm to become "established". Do I need a minimum number of posts, or is it discretionary...?
See the established link in the left hand menu? It takes you to https://www.digitalpoint.com/help/established.
damnit! I need three likes? that's kinda a lame criterion to have. I just want to take advantage of the services of people in the design forum, how does somebody liking a picture of a cat playing a violin (for instance) facilitate that I'm a trustworthy individual to do business with? (assuming that's the purpose of preventing people from participating in that section.) oh well. thanks either way.
