It's been a really long time since I've joined UF but I'm guessing that you all don't have the qualifications to post to showcase yet? If I remember correctly, someone has to have made at least made 10 posts to the forum and introduced themselves. I'm not sure if that still applies considering the forum upgrade but it's the only thing I can think of.
For a variety of reasons newly registered users have a bunch of restrictions. I go into detail in this
Help article but its mostly to combat spambots. That being said getting an account upgrade is super easy!
Registered users can create Showcase drafts.
Registered+ users can publish Showcase items.
You can get Registered+ in a variety of ways, the two easiest are:
- Making 10 posts in the UTAU or Friends of UTAU forums.
- Achieving 10 "Trophy Points" by
doing certain forum tasks.
While there are a variety ways of earning Trophy Points the trick is the "Meet & Greet" trophy. It is worth an instant 10 points and all you got to do is make an
Introduction Thread. It is intentionally one of the highest value, easiest to get achievements. Just wait for Defoko-bot to notice you, you will get your achievement, once you get your achievement you should get promoted soon after.
how do you introduce yourself
In order to encourage users to introduce themselves, there should actually be a nag at the top of the forum?
It should give you a prompt to
create a new thread. Was my prompt bugged? It's actually undismissable and is there to help people get promoted as fast as possible.
