Can't View Member Profiles

[Suburban Streamer]

Everytime i want to look at a members profile it tells me i do not have permission to view member profiles. This is also the case for my own profile! I have even registered a new profile but same thing happening! pls help!

A quick search would have solved you all that hassle!

Just seen similar post to this elsewhere..... so i need to post a certain number of posts until i can view member profiles? that's a shame as i am in no way a spammer, and have been stalking the forums since 2004! So how many posts do i need? and why does it include my own profile? i cant view my profile, or send pm!! surely there is a better way of stopping the spammers?

just seen your reply, thanks. I did have a quick look but emphasis on "quick"! But wont this mean more work for you guys as new users post irrelevant posts just so we can hit the magic number to unlock the feature?

anyway....i'm off to start posting....hoping its not too many i need!

Posts are easier for us to deal with than profile spam, pm spam etc so unfortunately for the time being at least it's what we need to do. The number of posts needed varies but is between 3 & 8 max.
