I like the "rookie" designation better than "newbie". Reminds me of the '70s. (...not that I particularly want to be reminded of the '70s...but there WAS free love...) And I see that the search database is much abbreviated. More changes to follow?

Think you could fill us in on future changes? posted_image

. What brought forth that change anyways? It's less degrading I must say. Nice choose of terms.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

I could, but what fun would that be? ;) Actually when it's something a bit more significant than this, I post updates in the Notices forum.

Got a hair.... and I never really liked "newbie" for new members.

you have to make a number of posts. I don't recall the amount that put me to a silver. I bet The 12volt can tell you.

Membership levels, other than moderator and administrator, are based on number of posts. At 50 you become a Standard member, Silver at 250, Gold at 1000, and Platinum at 2500. Standard members may edit their posts if it is the last in the thread, and upload images. Silver and Gold members may upload file attachments to posts as well as delete their posts. Platinum members may create polls. Stars are now 0 = Guest and Rookie, 1 = Standard, 2 = Silver, 3 = Gold, 4 = Platinum, 5 = Moderator and Administrator. Additional levels/names may be created/replaced in the near future and may be based on criteria other than number of posts such as compliance with forum rules, quality of replies, etc.
