Hope this is the appropriate forum, but was just wondering what the stars under each poster's name/rank mean. There are different colors and number of stars. I checked the FAQ and didn't see anything. Is it solely related to number of posts? I noticed on the profile page that there are "achievements" for posting. Is that factored in as well?

The colour and number of the stars seems to be solely dependant on the number of posts. Every 5 stars you kind of level up and then you start anew with a single star in a fresh colour. It begins with bronze, then silver, followed by gold and finally orange (or so it appears to me). Same with the titles. Every new star gives you a new title. I do not think that this is related to the achievements at all.

Heh... Didn't know that until clicked on my own profile. I have 8 of them and haven't done anything!

My own stupid questions about board interface & these 'badges' & things. (Newbies can be so annoying. )

What does "Hal (2001: A Space Odyssey?) is watching" mean? (If anything)

"JoeGuru" has been thanked 1000000 times and has thanked others 1000 times.

Again, does this really *do* anything, or like the stars under UserName, is just there for info. ?

thx
