    Hey everyone. I created my account just over a month ago, and I'm really enjoying being a part of the community after years of lurking. I've made a couple posts, but I have some photos from my recent trip to Alexandria Zoo (Egypt) that I'd like to upload, but I can't atm. When am I able to upload images to the forum?

    Hi, welcome to zoochat!
    In my experince I had to wait a few weeks before I could upload media.

    That's interesting because I created my account in January, "just over a month ago" was an accidental understatement

    I guess that you also need to make a certain number of posts.

    Welcome!

    The exact time it takes to post media is determined by number of posts, not be length of membership. So engage in the discussions a bit and you'll get there in no time.

    As a possible place to start, did you manage to get a full species list for Alexandria Zoo? I'd be super interested to know what they keep, and I'm sure others would as well.

    You need to have *enough* “good” posts to upload media. Based on other threads I have looked at, staff members don’t share the exact number of posts you need so you don’t spam posts to get enough.

    I'm afraid I didn't keep a full species list but it doesn't have any notable rarities. (At least from a European standpoint). I'll see what I can come up with while it's still relatively fresh in my mind

    I've come up with a list that I'll post in the Alexandria Zoo board
