So umm...I've got over 50 posts now, in general discussion (lately mostly in the lucky dip thread), do the credits take time to update or something? Because I'm still stuck on 1 credit...and well, it's creed's birthday and I have no credits for the promo, even though I think I should have enough to be able to redeem one...

Forum Credit : [you must login to view links]
There's explanation about FC there.

Well so far I have 2 credits (both I think for new threads in the help section).
And I did reply to one of the happy 3rd birthday threads, which contained over 50 characters and the thread itself is definitely not older than 120 days...so from what I can see that should definitely have been a credit...unless I'm missing something obvious...=/

As far as I know, you won't gain any credit from General Discussion.

Oh really? I thought it was only "Note: You will not gain any forum credits posting in "Oddish's Off-Topic", "Pokemon Creed - Contests", "Pokemon Creed - Market/Trades", "Ralt's Roleplaying Center", hidden forums nor will you gain in the Miscellaneous section." No mention of General Discussion there...

So where do people post for credits then? I mean, I assumed the lucky dip thing was a way to give everyone 1 forum credit per day without encouraging ridiculous amounts of spam...

That's what I know, Try helping with answering others question(s), or in other section that not include in that note.

OK thanks, it seems weird how general discussion isn't included but isn't on the list either...and I do think allowing the lucky dip thread to earn credits might be a good idea...or it just feels like it's too much effort to get any promo's anymore...

you dont get credits in certain forums. when you click forum credits, it says the rules in red words.

It might just take after you post in the available forums and after you type over 50 words or it just could be a bug. Well I am new so I won't really know, but it says it cant have a quote in it.So I'll say wait until it gets fixed or until you get the forum credit or forum credits or you can change it. Well I hope it gets fixed for you!

It was immediate for me... try the movies and other section. It's quite interesting to post there and to reply as well :)
