Sorry I realize this is posted in the incorrect section but I don't have permission to post in the classified section yet for some reason? The rules state you must be a member for 15 days, which I have been. Really the only reason for me to be on this forum was due to the fact that I saw rubberduckys ad for the arc switch panel. I joined, sent him a private message and waited the required 15 days but still I'm not allowed to go to his post and say " hey I sent you a private message". Also emailed the administrator but didn't get a a reply.

 

I think it's also tied to a post count but I'm not exactly sure on that. Something like 10 or 15 posts.

 

I did not see this thread until now because it was posted in the engine tech section and not the section for website help. The upgrade is automatic. However, the process doesn't occur, or will be delayed, if you're not an active member. In other words, at the end of 15 days your account would have been automatically upgraded but it wasn't because you hadn't been logged in around that time.
