Just Al:
I'm not being clear because I don't know the correct terminology for what I'm seeing, so I'll just give some examples of what I'm trying to decipher.

I have 1 yellow square below my member name. I assumed that was a decimal code abbreviation for the number of posts (1 for 1 to 100, 2 for 100 to 1000 etc) but then I noticed that Ms. Duck has over 17,000 posts but only 3 squares. I was also wondering about the colors of squares, and why some folks have a paper icon by their post title, and others have what looks like a phone or radio.

I figured there was some kind of guide to what means what, and I was just too dim to find it.

Ah here we go. Good question. IMO it applies to this topic nicely :)

I believe when Priscellie made this response, the forum was formatted differently and there were stars there rather than bars, but it could be that she is responding to someone else using the wrong term (that would be me), and keeping that same wrong term for continuity.

--- Quote from: Priscellie on November 23, 2010, 05:11:29 PM ---It has to do with post count and member status.

1 star, Mortal - Member with <10 posts
1 star, Apprentice - Member with <100 posts
2 stars, Wizard - Member with 100+ posts
3 stars, Posty McPosterpants - Member with a ridiculous number of posts
4 stars (Yellow) - Bartender
4 stars (Green) - Local Moderator
4 stars (Red) - Person about to be invaded by the Canim
5 stars, White Council - Global Moderator (Mickey, Ashton, and Blaze)
6 stars - Administrator (Me = Gatekeeper, Fred = The Merlin)

As for "why some folks have a paper icon by their post title, and others have what looks like a phone or radio" I'm not sure what you mean by that sorry.

Take a look at the bars next to my name here, then take another look at the bars next to my name on a post in the WoJ section, and you will get a good example of how Prisc's above explanation works.

shades of grey:
