Why does every one say that you can't upload pictures until 500 points?

I have been uploading picturess to my discussions and responses since I found out you could do it and it was way before 500 posts. I see so many people commenting and responding that it can't be done until 500 points. This is not true unless they changed the rules since I joined in February. I am asking for anyone with under 500 points to please try it and tell me if I am right or wrong. Or people with over 500 points did you even try before you reached that number? Or did you just believe what everyone else was saying and not bother? I know you can not copy and paste until 500 points.

Hmmm...this is interesting. I did post a picture up in the interest area of cats successfully. I did not get any earnings from that picture however. I have posted an image last month for one of my discussions and received a penny for it. I don't think I have any problems with uploading pictures. Weird that some people are though. Do you get credit for posting an image under an interest area? How much do you usually earn per image uploaded? Thanks for this discussion!

Aight, I will work on that today and I will keep you posted tomorrow to see if I earned 5 cents or so.

Hey, I just looked at my earnings. I posted 5 pictures in 5 of my discussions and only received 0.01 total. Maybe there is a limitation on the amount of pictures that can be submitted. Maybe if you have under 500 you can only get credit for 1 picture and the rest are just freebies. I don't know. But it's cool. I did 50 posts yesterday and got 1.05 for them in earnings! So I'm happy. :)

I readied from some other members too but this happen only few times and after they had the message that they can't upload.Maybe sometimes anyone under 500 can by a *mistake* of mylot,also I saw people they confuse the interest area with posting answer.....at interests area they can upload by they didn't know that at posting answers no..... Anyway the rules of mylot didn't change,under 500 points can't upload photo at response.

If they are uploading pictures to other areas like their profile page or interests then that message will come up. I think we are only allowed to upload 15 a day. Thanks for rresponsing!

Ummm interesting, I thought it was you could upload pictures to discussions, just not to responses but I tend to not bother as it's often more trouble than it's worth to me. But then they also say you can't copy and paste until 500 and I've found many many who have done that before reaching 500.

This is the way I've understood it...As soon as you start here you can upload photos in your interests and when you start a discussion. Once you get over 500 you can also add them in your responses and comments. But I've also read that there is a way around that if you do things with your browser in a certain way but I don't remember how that worked and I think technically it's a way to cheat anyway. So that may be how people are adding pictures before 500 too but for the most part getting to 500 posts doesn't give you too many extra privileges with photos, most everything can be done before 500.

I know that I couldn't post pictures until after 500 posts. I tried several times and I couldn't do it. I have been a member for quite a while now.

As far as i understand it, you can upload pictures to your own discussions at 100 credit points, but can only upload pictures to other peoples discussions in your responses until 500 posts blessed be

I don't know why but even when I first started here at Mylot alot of other members said we cannot upload pictures until we post to 500 discussions. I know alot of members who posted pictures right after joining Mylot. Some of them had no problems while other members did. I tried to upload pictures but it did not work for me so I gave up on it because alot of people said that the pictures they uploaded really didn't bring them much earnings, if any. I try not to copy and paste anything here in Mylot because I don't want to be accused of anything.

The only thing I might copy and paste from here is a portion of a comment or discussion that I am quoting. Otherwise I only copy and paste if I have something from somewhere else to post.

I'm confused about this 500 point thing. I also tried to upload pictures on a few of my discussions, and they did not appear. God only knows where they went to. I still have a lot to learn here I guess.

Hmm, i thought u could only add a image after 100 posts? Initially, there wasnt this function, until i hit the 100 posts... The reaching of 500 posts is the additional function of copying and paste text in myLot...

Ok, I checked the myLot FAQ and it states that "Only users with a rating of over 500 will be allowed to upload photos into discussions and responses". That being said, I have uploaded pictures on responses a couple of times. The "add an image" does not always show. I guess it is a glitch in the program.

Ok I just looked at that also. So perhaps there is a glitch somewhere. Hm interesting thanks for responding!

I have been able to upload pictures as well, but I haven't been able to cut and paste until 500, which is annoying, becuase I want to put picture comments:(

I can upload pictures even though I'm new here. I think anyone could upload a picture in their discussion. I have started about three discussion with pictures. Whoever said this might have misunderstood something.
