Member status question.

[Panda]

I just have a few questions I am hoping someone can direct me in the right direction for the answers. I have been looking around the site and haven't found my answers! Help! :confused:

-Does membership status change after you have started 20 posts or after you have posted 20 times? Or has that number changed since the update in system?

-When I go into My Profile and use the "Thread started" link it only shows 3 of the threads I have started. Does it only show three or is this a glitch in the system? The "post started" shows all the responses I have left and all the threads I have started.

-Is there a newbie area/ new member FAQ link or is it just best to message a mod for help with questions like this? I really enjoy the boards here but don't want to add to the work of the mods by asking questions they probably have had to deal with over and over.

If someone can direct me to the answers, or answer my questions, I would really appreciate it. I would really like someone to tell me what I am doing wrong so I can quit being such a newbie and learn the ins and outs of the boards! Thanks all!

[color=gray]-Do you mean the 'New Member' thing? Cause that changes after you posted I dont know how many times (well if you say its 20, I believe you :rolleyes: ).
So just how many posts you make, not how many you start.

-When I click on 'threads started' at your profile it shows 3 threads, while on mine it shows a lot. So that would probably mean, you have only made 3 threads. If not, it should be a bug.

-There is no difference between a new member and an ordinary member, so all your questions belong in this forum. ^_~[/color]

I got the number 20 from a post James made about how the new member status would automatically changed after that many posts. :D It really doesn't matter to me but if it is a bug in the system I think the admins would like to know about it. I just like posting to interesting threads.

I have started more than 3 threads so I guess there is a glitch in my profile. A perfect example is this thread. I started it but it is not showing as a thread I started. Weird huh.

Thanks again for the response Boo. :D

[color=#707875]Regarding member status, I think we may have made it 50 posts rather than 20. Our rules/FAQ should detail that, I imagine. At the moment I don't remember myself (scary, eh? lol).

Regarding your other problems, I'm not sure what the issue might be. Perhaps Justin can assist you with that.

If you want any further info, I do recommend visiting the Rules/FAQ pages. These are organized into specific subjects and they should answer a few questions for you. Welcome to the boards, by the way. ^_^[/color]

Looking at your profile, I see all 6 threads you have started. I'm not sure that there is a glitch, and if there was it isn't with us -- its vBulletins software.

Of course, vBulletin has fixed a LOT of bugs and something as simple as this would've been brought up my now.

It might depend on your settings in User CP, because sometimes it wont show a thread older than 90 days (or whatever the setting is). Also, the search index has to be updated and that doesn't happen instantly.

Looks like all is fine now. It looks like it was just alittle hiccup in the system that worked itself out. It's nice to be apart of a web community that cares about it's members and willing to help with their posting problems. Thank you for all your help, I really do appreciate it. :D

Wonderful site and I love the high quality of posts in the forums. I hope to contribute to the boards. See you all around the boards! :D
