All of a sudden, I seem to have lost all the privileges associated with an established membership. I am not able to post new threads in marketplace, I don't see the LIKE button, etc. Waited for a few days for the features to come back but to no avail. It is very likely that others too may be facing this problem. What else could have resulted in the sudden decline in the number of threads being created!! Can mods look into this please...
If indeed there is a problem(s) as you have indicated, then this is pertinent info and it's well worth checking out I would think. But as to thread declines, this is actually typical of the weekends on DP. As to the *Like* button it's located next to the *Reply* button and ought to be easily seen by you, as you are established. P.S. Your username is still a bright green, odd as it should be dark green now that you have 3 likes. Perhaps your 3 likes are *not* from 3 different members? If that is the case then you are still not established.
Those 3 likes are from different members: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/members/holyhermit.390131/likes
Not having access to the features is one thing. Losing access to them all of a sudden is something different. And I have lost the access without any change in the number/type of likes. As can be seen from the below screenshot, I had been awarded the trophy "Welcome to the Establishment" and there has been no change in likes after that - neither decline nor increment. Has there been any change in rules after that?
There was no change in rules, but there was a bug that was accidentally counting non-post likes towards established members which was fixed.
