I don't know, I'm ASSuming it's the post count. :oops:

Only an Administrator can. I've removed you from the NRU group. I'm not sure if there's other restrictions. Please let me know if you are still having trouble uploading a language pack.

It did not help.
I still do not see button "New Contribution" in the Customisation Database.
I am still unable to upload Language Pack of Lithuanian (Lietuvių) for phpBB 3.3.12.
Currently Customisation Database contains Lithuanian Language Pack with a date 2013.10.20, it is too old and totally unusable for phpBB 3.3.12.
That is the reason why I have made new Language Pack of Lithuanian (Lietuvių) for phpBB 3.3.12.
However I am unable to upload it.

There is more involved that just uploading the file for translations and I apologize for not realizing that at start. There is a user group for translators etc. Again follow this link for directions to apply to be translator.

https://www.phpbb.com/language/apply/

There is a link at the end to PM Crizzo who manages translations.

I have made two posts, my post counter now says “Posts: 2”.
At last now I see button "New Contribution" in the Customisation Database.

Post-count requirement is illogical for creating "New Contribution" in the Customisation Database.

Post count is a requirement to leave the NRU group. (not for submitting a new contribution in the CDB).

Membership of the NRU prevents adding a new contribution to the CDB.

It's not illogical: it's a standard (and usually necessary) procedure.

And there are certain areas of this site where the post count isn’t incremented ‘General Discussion’ being one.

I hate being under NRU restrictions as well, but unfortunately, I have to agree, they are necessary. Otherwise, those damned spambots would pretty much take over an entire site.
