What do the yellow boxes by your avatar name indicate?

just curious

It is a visualisation of your post number... Or the camera under it. Neuro has the most, while first posters have only one.

Thanks!

The forum Membership is broken into several member groups. Each member group has a name associated with it, and a number of bars, stars, etc.

As the number of posts goes up, a Member is automatically moved to a different member group, and the number of bars changes to the setting for that member group. We could have done it like Canon Cameras, and reduced the number of bard down to one for the highest level of posts.

One advantage of breaking the membership up into different groups is our ability to allow different forum capabilities to higher posting members. We can also setup member groups by invitation or subscription only, and make them visible to certain groups only.

That's why you don't see the groups reserved for selfies and nude photos posted by movie stars and celebrities

You don't see the user group that Admins use to exchange routine forum operation information either.

The Buy and Sell group is another example of a limited membership group, everyone can see it and post to a existing topic, but starting a new for sale topic is limited.

I never paid attention. Now that I have, you need to award at least another box to Neuroanatomist, who has 8 boxes and >14K posts, because MtSpokanePhotography has 9 boxes and a "mere" >9K posts. ;D Box Wars!

I was wondering when someone would notice that. Neuro does not get all the perks

So THAT is why my camera is wrong!

So what CR Admin is saying is that it's the number of posts not the quality that counts??? While many of the top contributors have really valuable input, it's easy for anyone to just say "nice picture" or something equally unmeaty to boost their post counts and enter exclusive circles. Really??

I get the boxes and the levels of cameras etc... but spokane is dignified with the EF 50 .7 IS, what the heck is that?

and why does spokane have more boxes than nuero?

 

[dslrdummy]

Well, this could get ugly.

If it was I'd definitely be winning.

Yes. ;D

Wait a minute...you're saying there are perks??

I guess a red card gets you booted from the forum?

Edit - sorry, Admins, just saw your boxes are red. I guess that means you have "God Mode" on the forums.

I don't know what it is, but i'd sure like to have one!

 

[weixing]

Hi,
I initially thought the yellow box mean "Yellow Card", but realised that it shouldn't be the case as the admin got so many "Red Card"... ha ha ha

Have a nice day.

 

[adhocphotographer]

I like the idea of them being warnings...

 

[Zv]

Wait, so the yellow boxes aren't power bars that indicate how good you are at Street Fighter??

Spokane vs Neuro! Fight!

I heard that if you type Up Down Left Right Y B X A Start & Select you can enter high speed burst mode, 14 posts per second!

;D ;D ;D
