[Answered]I don't get the ranks

TGR, Don't quite understand your Q. c.i.

You're content specialist and people who posted 400 posts also are content specialists. How is that possible?

TGR, Craven addressed this in one of your riddle posts. Content specialist isn't a rank -- it is independent of how many posts you have. The titles were recently changed from "forum guide", which is why you see the shift. That has nothing to do with the number of posts, though.

ok, call me dumb (DUMB!!![that's enough, thankyew]

why did I move from Enthusiast to Seasoned? was it when I passed 1000 posts? I find it more enjoyable, of course, to have some seasoning, just want to understand the shift...

thanks be to anyone who answers me (be kind, however, PLEASE)

Ayup. Congratulations and suchlike, sc.
Here's the list of how many posts you need to get to each new rank...

Rank list

There are also moderators, content specialists & project specialists. Those titles are independent of how many posts someone has made.

Lemme see if I can help here ... "Specialist" is not a "Rank", it is the designation of a member who has taken on responsibility to generate content or assist with projects, and is wholly independent of number of posts. As to the "Just-Hatched - Newbie - Near Enthusiast - Enthusiast - etc" designations, those are based on number of posts, and advance accordingly. A fairly comprehensive explanation of the matter may be found here

As I recall but am too lazy to verify, the progression schedule also is explained in the FAQ, accessible through the appropriate link down there in my sig line. A good rule of thumb is "When in doubt, consult the FAQ".

thank you, Monger & Timber

I thought of FAQ, but didn't do so first , my bad! I will go check out the links you each provided; I appreciate your help !

Well, I'll be darned - you both gave the same link using different ways: you take the high road and I'll take the low road and we'll all get to the same great link together (or some sech) - thanks to both o' youse!!

P.S. timber, your last post there is adorable/funny per usual :wink: ...

25,000 posts?

Who'll get this ?

The way we're going, we all will...

so here's what i discovered earlier today - inadvertently - not paying attention - lalalalalalalalalala - if you click on the bar under any general member's designation - it takes you to the same thread. it startled the bejesus out of me when it happened, but i learned something.

here, have one

Actually the requirements for the loftier activity levels have been adjusted upward from time to time ... prolly just to keep 'em safe from wabbit pwedation.

So it is!

I've noticed that, timberlandko. It was a bit of a shock the first time I noticed. The shock wasn't that I noticed , but the roll-back just after I'd gone up a level. I felt like I was doing the hokey-pokey. Left foot in, left foot out.

And the music plays " Shake it all about"!
