New Forum

[Anita]

I like the look of the new forum guys.

Helen - love your title!:)

[DJC]

I do like the forum :D It's a bit slower than before, but a lot more organised, and with more useful features. I assume you're talking about her Queen of the Forums title hehe.

[Anita]

Yup - that be the one.:)

Wonder what sort of titles we can aspire to after Junior Member? Bet there's the normal Member and Senior Member but, maybe, there will be a Grand Anorak title waiting for some ;)

[DJC]

I'm assuming that because the forum is new, all the default settings are in place. For vBulletin I think it's:
0-30 Posts - Junior Member
30-100 Posts - Member
100+ Posts - Senior Member

I know that these can easily be changed though - the titles and the posts required.

Just an observation - have you noticed that your blob lights up green when you're on the forum?

Anita how come in the box that shows what users are online you have a + next to your name ? bizarre no ?Not really, you must have added Anita to your Buddy List. Click on Quick Links in ther top right, and select Open Buddy List. This will show all users in your list, with their online status, and an option to PM them. A + shows at the end of a user's name if they are an online buddy in the 'Curently Active Users' on the main page (http://www.british-gymnastics.org/memberforum/). Also clicking on Quick Links and selecting Who's Online will take you to a page showing all online members and guests. If you look in the bottom left it says: + User is on your buddy list:p

You definitely deserve a Grade A in forum usage:D

[Dave]

I'd agree with that !

100+ Posts - Senior MemberWow, I remembered!
/me puts on my shiny new 'Member' badge :D and wonders where his extra symbols are.

Slight error DJC - it was 0-50 for two blobs to light up. It may have originally been 0-30 for one to light up but, towards the end, you had to get 50 posts and then two lit together. Only then did you become a Member.

No-one ever got further than three blobs and Senior Member - wonder if this forum is designed to get more blobs, ie three at 100, four at 200 etc. Time will tell ....

[DJC]

Not on this forum - check what it says under my name.

:) Seems there is no 'blob' status though.

[Anita]

Sorry - should have made myself clear:o . I was quoting the old forum rules!

I'm going to be a member soon ....

[DJC]

Like now ;) Sorry, I thought when you said 'Slight error' you meant that I was wrong, but I wasn't talking about the old forum.
