It takes as long as it takes which is until you have made enough quality posts to suggest that you can be trusted
If you want someone to reply to you then post in the appropriate thread and add a tag to their user name such as @eindelooos Any user can start a pm with you but you can not initiate contact as a newbie poster.
Text editor is rubbish to use, constantly breaking pages; high time to have a tab with the squared and cubed notations in the proper way........"if there is a software and/or program complier problem then it´s usually me as an analogue dog who finds the crumbs".
I regularly find this out with some quite expensive programs, one example is so lovingly used for online legal services and the like (from the US)...is one of many crummy programming out there; also here in Europe. Not only is site page navigation shoddily thought-out, not user friendly and worse.....not at all bug free. Take it from me in my old git age.

An idea: would it be useful to reset one's small avatar if that person's contribution is old enough? Currently my avatar appears in the corner of the thread opener bigger avatar. It remains there forever, reminding me that I contributed to the thread sometime in the past. But I am more interested in threads where I am "active", that is my contribution is not older than, say six months. Or there are less than 50 now contributions of others after mine. If my contribution is older, I am probably not interested in that thread any longer, so no need to mark it for me.
I often use the threads page because I prefer not to receive notifications by e-mail and if the thread is very popular - that's, with many daily posts - (like the one with the photographs that make you laugh) I unsubscribe.
However that little avatar in the lower right corner seems to remain just there the same.
Edit to add: please note that when/if you unsubscribe from a thread you run the risk of missing out on some replies (assuming you care) since not even the alerts regarding that thread will appear under the Alerts (bell) at the top right of the forum page.
Edit2 to add that although I haven't yet fully understood the mechanism, for some threads you have to unsubscribe every time you post there (precisely the one about photographs that make you laugh, just as an example).

Today I tried to multi-quote the song thread, but it didn't work as expected.
I cannot say what or how it happened, but something seems to have changed: it's as if the post I was writing automatically updated to something I had written before and furthermore it automatically deleted what I wrote in some of the single quote.
Sorry, but it's not easy to describe.
Furthermore, different quotes pointed to the same nickname, which obviously shouldn't be possible.
Perhaps an important thing to say is that I discovered the above just after posting, since the post was unreadable just because it wasn't exactly what I wrote or quoted (so much so that I immediately had to edit it).
I know it seems very odd.
However, it was a very positive thing in my eyes because it made me think about the fact that someone might even be offended by being quoted and so I used a different system to point out a couple of casual interpretations of the theme.
So, thank you for the glitch, but the strange behavior of multiquoting remains...

select part of someone's text, small "Quote" flag will pop up, click on it and result is what's shown above as example
you can even repeat, with other part of text, as many times you need:
see, and again :
I'm glad to receive a reply from you, but please note that I perfectly know how to quote and/or multi-quote, thank you very much anyway.
My intent was to report an anomalous functioning of the page which forced me to repeat multi-quoting several times because the things I wrote were then deleted.
Maybe an update has been made in the version or in the forum settings, I completely ignore this, but I'm pretty sure it's not something that depends on me.
So I wanted to provide a feedback in the hope that it could be useful to those who manage the IT part of the forum and presumably may have changed settings or version.
That's all.
Sorry if this might even not help, but this has certainly never happened before.
