What do I have to do to "like" a post?

[wrishel]

I want to apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. I couldn't see a forum for the operation of forums and I have reviewed the Forum Rules without finding the answer to this question.

I have been lurking here since I took delivery on my M3 Long Range. I recently saw a post that I would like to have concurred with and I note that the post had a certain number of Likes, Informatives and some third kind of "thumbs up". However much I hovered the cursor I couldn't find a way for me to express my opinion except to Reply. I did my best to make the reply informative rather than just "me too", but it seems like it would be more efficient for me and all other forum readers if I could have clicked on something.

I see a header that says I have "somewhat limited profile privileges" because I haven't posted much, but I don't see anything that says whether "liking: is one of the privileges one has to earn and, if so, how much I have to post to get there.

I don't know if not being able to like is a technology issue or it is one of these "privileges".

Can anyone help?

You just need to post a few times as I recall.

You may need a certain number of posts before you can rate a post. Not sure.

wait till you figure out you can't edit your post after a few minutes

I couldn't 'like' until I had over 10 posts. There's a special thread dedicated to those that want to just post a bunch of one-word posts just to get to the limit at which you can 'like' something...

Ah, cool, was wondering the same thing. I'm a heavy lurker but (very) light poster. If I don't have something interesting to say, I usually don't!

Here I was thinking I'd need to spam a few frivolous, pointless posts to get the count up (like this one!).

(7 to go...)

10 posts needed IIRC.

You'll never fit in here.

Thanks for this as I have been trying to figure out what the limit is. Been looking all over, and finally tried the elastic search to find this thread.
