Thanks Man. Is it 25 new posts by me or 25 total posts?
Welcome to the forum Jaeon!
Sounds like you might be confusing posts and threads. Any post you make is a "new" post.
Here is a thread describing new member limitations.
I do recommend using the forum's gallery to upload photos. For several reasons I find it better than uploading photos directly into the posts.
There's a tutorial in
this thread on how to set up your gallery.
It is important to create at least one "Category" (another name for a folder) in the top level of
your gallery, and if you like to be organized, also create Sub-Categories (sub-directories) under that (before uploading any photos). Makes things easier.
