I may be a 'posting-ho' but I should have reached 'friend' status by now (I noticed a change in the Titles since the forum became operational). BTW - the 'stranger' title is lame. My profuse apologies for bugging you. It being Xmas eve and all... regards & Merry Christmas.

The names can only be changed by the admin not by the user. The title "stranger" exists because that's how the software was setup by default. This title was assigned to anyone with 0-24 posts. I've since changed the titles to something a little more friendly-sounding as follows: 0 new member 25 friend 50 journeyman 100 contributor 200 captain 400 sage 700 prophet 1200 veteran 1600 Pooh-Bah 2500 King I realize we could probably come up with better titles but they're really not that important in the grand scheme of things. They're designed to be more or less cute labels to indicate how prolific people are when it comes to posting messages. The reason why you see some that still have the word stranger is because those users posted messages before I made the change above. To get rid of the stranger title once and for all, I have to go into the database and manually change each user who was origionally was assigned that title. I may get around to that when I have more time. Hope this helps. -K Edited by Kahuna (12/26/03 08:53 PM) Post Extras: BubbaTex journeyman Reged: 12/20/03 Posts: 56 Loc: Austin, Texas Re: Titles [Re: Kahuna] #257 - 12/26/03 10:27 PM (65.70.196.187) Edit Reply Quote That answers it! Thanks Kahuna! I'll just keep posting.... -------------------- "It is more important to do less more often than to do more less often" Ed Burke, PhD Post Extras: Pages: 1
