Member status (m)

Will we all start out as "junior members" on this board or can some of our veteran status transfer over here? I've been on the old board over 3 years!!



This is a nice, newer looking format, and I appreciate the hard, thoughtful work of our administrators. You've done a great job of instituting a change that could have been devastating (examples: the new 5, laser discs, new coke, the Susan B Anthony dollar).

cool i just noticed i lost the "junior" must not take too long, what's the next step?

actually, yeh, i think i'll go ahead and get you guys your 'real' statuses once (if) we upgrade over to this one.
it will be easy to do, ill have Ed give me a list of people who have been on the board for a long time and post regularly.


i think after like 30 posts you move up from junior over to the next one, and then after 100. i'll confirm all that stuff today, too lazy to look through the settings right now. all those numbers can be changed too. this board also has this cool 'reputation' feature. bascially, everytime someone makes a post, others can comment on it, whether they approve or disaprove it. and the reputation builds up that way. if a person always gets 'approved', it will show something like 'perfect poster' next to his name. the system is disabled now, but ill turn it on if/when we move over to this board.
