    Lightbulb Forum Member User Titles

    Hi all,

    It was brought to my attention recently that a certain element of the forum was being misinterpreted. The thing that had been confusing people was the User Title. This is the text that appears directly under your username and dictates your 'ranking' in terms of how many posts you have made. Previously, this was set at Junior Member, Member, Senior Member. This led people to believe wrongly that either themselves or others were 'Members' of the Mk1 Club when in fact all that had happened is that they'd been a regular poster. I have therefore changed the post rankings to something less confusing and also a bit fun. The table of rankings are below:

    MR2 Lurker - 0 Posts
    MR2 Newbie - 1 Posts
    MR2 Fan - 30 Posts
    MR2 Enthusiast - 500 Posts
    MR2 Obsessive - 1000 Posts
    MR2 God - 5000 Posts

    Any suggestions for changing boundaries or names, please speak up!

    Futhermore, in the next week or so if you are indeed a member of the club, this will show below your username. These two changes will make it clearer for people to see who are members and who are active posters, and who are both!

    Any questions, feel free to ask.

    Cheers,
    Tom

    Nice! Good work, chair.

    I understand today is 'Ask a stupid question day'. (I kid you not - I heard it on the radio so it must be true).
    My question: Why do the names of some members on some posts appear in a colour that is so close to the background colour, that I have to roll over the user name and copy it somewhere else to see it! To my knowledge, I have not chosen any weird colour scheme for any of my machines, nor in my profile for the club site. Is there a setting I should change to make the usernames more visible (though I note that on the page that I am posting on, tommundy appears in a very visible green).

    Thanks in advance Tom.

    Cheers Julian!

    That other problem you mentioned should actually be resolved too as of this morning It was related to which usergroup people were/are in.

    Not long until I am obsessive.

    Officially. As opposed to being called it randomly by my friends
