Member Status......doesnt work

[electricsguy]

In the profile under

Member Status Member

you can change what it says... I presume this is not meant to be like this... maybe it is I don't know but I change mine by deleting it and rewriting to Genious...

I don't really understand the member status bit... is it meant to go up by the amount of posts you make? That or not I don't think your meant to be able to change it yourself!

[electricsguy]

oh ok i did some more looking.... am i right that you are meant to be able to change it?

[gadgetguy]

IIRC it used to be after a certain number of posts it became editable. I don't know if it's still that way or not.

[electricsguy]

Well I joined yesterday and i can change it.... ive made quite a lot of posts i wouldnt have thought it would have been enough though

[thecoalman]

You're a genious, figure it out yourself. :P

I believe it used to be fifty posts before you could change it yourself but I guess that must have changed. A lot of forums use that for member status and rankings but on this forum it's meaningless unless it's the text is light blue which would indicate a mod.

[electricsguy]

ok thanks

[thecoalman]

BTW, it's spelled Genius.

I never point out spelling mistakes but that was too hard to pass up.

yer i considerd that but i thought there was an o........

I have removed the 50 post limit before you could change the status...but I can't remember when or why...

[electricsguy]

ok...
is anything limited like to be a moderator or is it just your decision?

Hey Baldrick, how come your status line is barely distinguishable from anyone elses? Shouldn't it be written in lights or something or would that conflict with your natural modesty?

I tried to change mine to £12, but it didn't work. Then I tried "Administrator", but that didn't work either. But when I changed it to Yes, it was ok.

Baldrick's status line is dark blue. To differentiate him from us lowly Mods in just blue. But it's hard to tell with some backgrounds.

As a Mod you get some bonuses, like a 24/7 work schedule and no pay. It's like my present job.

Admin,administrator and moderator and special characters doesn't work.

I can't remember a date, but it was part of a major overhaul that included the removal of post count from the member status area and the "hiding" of the reported posts. Seems that things were getting a bit out of hand at that time.
