This happens at many Forums that I've seen.... Folks wondering about the Ranking System used that typically account for the # of posts you have at a forum. So I figured that I'd answer this one right away. I based this forum's Rank system on the Boy Scout Rank names/levels and I made up my own post count requirements to achieve each rank. The reference I used for the Scouting Ranks can be found HERE at the Link provided. The numbers I set up are as follows: Posts / Rank / Stars ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0 / Scout Badge / 0 5 / Tenderfoot / 1 75 / Second Class / 2 200 / First Class / 3 500 / Star / 4 750 / Life / 5 1500 / Eagle / 6 This should answer any questions about how I set things up here.

Snow just got Promoted today folks! I've lowered the post counts necessary to move up in the ranking scale, and the new schedule is listed below. Posts / Rank / Stars ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 0 / Scout Badge / 0 5 / Tenderfoot / 1 50 / Second Class / 2 100 / First Class / 3 250 / Star / 4 500 / Life / 5 1000 / Eagle / 6 No special reason for the change. Things are slow at work, here at the forums, and in the Economy in general. So I had time on my hands this evening and decided I'd try to boost up some 'business' here at the forums. Hey, it's just a thought! Do something a little different, huh? I've also dropped the word 'Rank' from most of the position names. Having that listed just seemed redundant to me now. The Stars will change as well when you move up the ranks here. With Posts 5/50/100 you'll get 1/2/3 regular yellow Stars under your user name and rank position in your Profile and at the left of each post you make. Above those ranks, the stars will get larger and change color as well. Star will get Green, Life will get Blue and Eagle will get Red. (hey now, 6 Red Stars is more than what I get! )
On that note, the Staff here has a different set of Stars and Colors that I have no control over. We all get 5 Stars with the colors assigned by the software I'm using here to run this place, and we get our own special Ranks regardless of post counts. I'm the Administrator of course, but since taking on Christine as a Moderator and having the Wife set up as a Global Moderator.... Well, it's a toss up. I'm still working on those two, trying to determine just who exactly can do what, when, how and where. Anyhow, that's the Update I have at this time. Congrats, Snow on your Promotion!
