How do I exchange gold coins for credits?

Hi all! I’m new here and the site looks fabulous. I plan to come here as often  as I can and then will exchange gold coins for credits. How do I do this and how many gold coins represent 1 credit? Thanks so much

Here is some info about the credits www.pindiy.com/thread-262101-1-1.html . Credits are for your user group level, and gold coins are for making purchases. The equation to determine your credits does not include your gold coins.


Credits needed for user group:
Group        Credits Needed
0                1-25
1                26 - 125
2                126 - 325
3                326 - 525
4                526 - 825
5                826 - 1259
6                1260 - 2259
7                2260 - 5259
8                5,260 – 12,599
9                12,600 – 32,599
10              32,600 – 72,599
11              72,600 – 125,999
12              126,000 and up

Credits =  Posts × 0.1 + Threads × 0.26 + Digests × 5 + Online Time (h)/1.5
1 Credit = 10 replies
1 Credit = 4 new threads
1 Credit = 1.5 hours active time on site

You cant.
Coins are money.
Credits are "level", so you can level up your user group.

The more you participate, the more you earn.

Sigh, credits are a long process - but if you are active you can do it!

Credits are earned by participating actively on the board : uploading patterns, creating posts, etc. you cant trade them for gold coins. You just get to keep them!
Gold coins are earned more easily (uploading patterns, but also replying to posts, offering advice, visiting others spaces, finding a red envelope...) and are used to purchase patterns as well.
