Hi Dan and Linda! I think I was one of the first people to join this discussion group back when you originated it; pretty sure I was signed-on within the first week of receiving your email notification of its existence. Yet, I notice myself still listed as a "new member". So I was wondering what criteria that's based on. It's really not important; and I'm really not seeking cyber-status; just interested to know what the ratings mean, and how they are determined.  All the best, Pat Regan VULCANIA SUBMARINE, Hawaii |

Hi, Pat! The key is "participation". The forum software automatically counts the number of posts that everyone makes. After 50 posts, you become a junior member. After 100, full member, after 250, senior member, and at 500 posts, you become a god. :  Actually, I can edit those settings and change the names and numbers, but I have always just left the default settings, as I couldn't think of anything better.  Hope that helps - it's great to have you here! Linda |

 So I guess that means that even if I ask nicely, you won't change my status to "Posting God!"... |

I don't think I can change them individually - everyone in the same category (by number of comments) as you would also become "posting gods". : But you are inches away from jumping into the next category! |

Okayyyy..... When I get to be a "God" will I have, like, super powers and stuff like that? I mean, that could come in handy: just part the Pacific Ocean and walk around on the bottom picking things up instead of having to dive for them. Of course, then what would I do with my SCUBA gear? ;D WHOA! Gotta go! LIGHTNING just struck the ground right outside my lanai!  Pat "Cyber-Rookie" Regan |
