[dvdelf]

are these in effect now?

[dvdelf]

AHHHHHHHH
I dont have a ranking!

[dominick]

That's weird. Mine is there.

[Jeff Westover]

Yeah, that is weird. Maybe you're just posting too fast for the system to keep up. I'll take a look under the hood...something tells me this could be an admin setting thing gone squirelly because I don't think my post count is working either....

[HoosierChristmas]

When am I able to edit the tag under my name? Ex: Jeff has => Editor, My Merry Christmas.

[dominick]

Only the moderators and administrators are allowed custom user titles. Your title will change as your post count increases.

[Jeff Westover]

ok, dvdguy, I gotcha fixed.

[dvdelf]

WOOOO

Dang near santa!

[Jeff Westover]

very impressive!!!

[dvdelf]

& a little sadcheesy

[HoosierChristmas]

Only the moderators and administrators are allowed custom user titles. Your title will change as your post count increases.

Oh...O.K. I'm part of a different forum powered by bulletin and we can edit our own tags.

Thanks!

[Merry Sage]

Hahaha! I've had to post to see what I am.

What?! Elf 3rd class?! *sulk*

[e_xander]

Hahaha! I've had to post to see what I am.

What?! Elf 3rd class?! *sulk*

We need to get posting more then!! :)) :treeguy:

Sean

(love the new smilies)

[Merry Sage]

The new smilies are great! I am somewhat mollified by this fact.

*goes off muttering...Elf, 3rd Class indeed!* :evil:

[dvdelf]

so at some point I switched to christmas royalty, I guess i should pay more attention

[dominick]

You became Christmas Royalty at 3500 posts. The next milestone is 5000.

[dvdelf]

that will probably take a while

[dominick]

Not with the busy season fast approaching.

[kidzrme]

Oh good, I was trying to figure it out.

[Chillywilly]

This good information. So if we want to change our status we must post more. That makes sense to me! I better get started.cheesy

[Billy Battles]

I am Elf first class

[Billy Battles]

I did the calculations and if I post at my current average to reach 30,000 it would take 11 years.

[haagarr]

I am close to eggnog chugger yeah 34 more post to go well 33 now.

[snowangel_x3]

I'm a Tinsel Straightener, haha. About 15 more posts and I'll be a Mistletoe Hanger.

"30,000+ Posts = In Need of Serious Help"

Lol, nice.

[ChristmasSpirit76]

Has anyone on here reached the 30,000 in need of serious help level?

[RavenHardt]

I have not seen anyone with that post count.....

[Jeff Westover]

Has anyone on here reached the 30,000 in need of serious help level?

No, but I'm dedicating my life to it. One day, I'll make it.

[RavenHardt]

I hope I live long enough to see that Jeff !!!!

[dvdelf]

No, but I'm dedicating my life to it. One day, I'll make it.

RACE YA!

[RavenHardt]

RACE YA!


this I have got to see.....:cry:

[dvdelf]

Ok I'm at 4000, Which is scary when you think about it. Just a little over a year since i found this site

[Billy Battles]

I have been here for about 3 months and I am at 764. thats pretty bad.

[Jeff Westover]

No it's not bad at all. dvdguy is just one really sick individual, that's all.

[dvdelf]

hehehe:razz:

[Maebeary]

Wow! Thanks for the list. I was wondering about ranks and when they changed. I think this is the first forum I've been to that had them listed. I'm on my way to "Mistletoe Hanger." I think I'll just hang some above my head and see what happens. ;-) I wonder what my hubby would say!? cheesy

I'm learning lots about this forum. Now if I would just quit trying to close windows--I keep getting a runtime error that closes all windos open on the internet and have to figure out why. This is the third time I tried to post this message. Third time is a charm. (I hope!)

[dvdelf]

i made it to 4300

[Billy Battles]

I am at 900...well 901 now

[Christmasstar]

maybe I will work on getting moved up the ladder so I can reach the star on top of the tree by Christmas!
:razz:

[Maureen]

Have we stopped being tinsel chuggers and eggnog straighteners????:?

[Maebeary]

Have we stopped being tinsel chuggers and eggnog straighteners????:?


I was wondering the same thing. Did something change?

[mammaduke]

Jeff I was wondering why mine doesn't show up under my name. I have 102 or 103 posts now , could you look at that & let me know. Thanks, Debbie
Happy Thanksgiving!:happy:

[Jeff Westover]

Ooops, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Fixed it!

[mammaduke]

Thanks Jeff. Have a nice Thanksgiving, will be on after everyone leaves in the afternoon.
Debbie:happy:

[dvdelf]

I need less then 300 posts to 5000

[dvdelf]

[dominick]

I'm only good for tech help. Any psychological help will have to be directed to a sane person.

[dvdelf]

[Annette1990]

Ok I'm at 4000, Which is scary when you think about it. Just a little over a year since i found this site

:sparkle:

Jeff.........thank you for showing the ranking structure. I always wondered how that worked, now I know. Makes me feel like I am back in the military reserves again.

[auntieclaus]

I felt like I was never going to be anything other than an Eggnog Chugger, but finally...

[Head Elf]

My rating is gone. I used to be a Santaclausologist and now I'm just a merry member.
What happened? I know I've been away, but I've been busy at the school.

[mammaduke]

Yes it seems like we all are merry members here now.My rating is gone. I used to be a Santaclausologist and now I'm just a merry member.
What happened? I know I've been away, but I've been busy at the school.

[Jeff Westover]

Everybody chill. I'm working on an enhancement and it has temporarily affected the ranks. All will be well and nothing is lost. I'll explain it as soon as I have it all set.

[pbrbullrider]

[Maureen]

Go to the very first post on this thread

[Maureen]

Found it! Here's an answer from a thread a year or so ago

The wonders of copying and pasting!!!

Under the “Quick Links” menu on the red navigation bar is a link to something called “vbexperience”.

Clicking on this link will take you to a page showing collected points for our members. Points are given for all the activities you engage in on the Merry Forums. Our members with the highest points receive recognition for their contributions to the community with a special graphic shown next to their name wherever it is shown on the forums.

Your vbexperience points are also shown on your profile under a tab titled “vbexperience’.

Clicking on this tab will show you a quick summary of your activity.

The top line-- or red bar -- is your “level” -- basically, where you are at in a process of all the levels built into the system. Think of the red bar as a quality indicator of your activity.

The middle line -- or blue bar -- is how many more points you need to move up to the next level.

The bottom line -- or green bar -- is your rate of activity relative to all other users on the forums. Think of the green bar as the sheer amount of time you spend relative to most other users on the forums.

For convenience, we also show the red and green lines on the forums under your user name when you post.

Vbexperience is a system for tracking your contributions to the site over the course of the past three weeks. Your points, levels, and activities thus are rewarded not only for being here but for being here all the time. (Sneaky of us, eh?).

So seasonal users who come around just for the holiday season cannot collect points and awards and then bail without consequence. We want to make sure our year round participants are the most rewarded of all our site users.

We currently have set up awards for Activity, Social Engagement, Posting, and Picture Sharing. We are working on other awards and plan on adding silver and bronze recognition for those who are close.

How do you win these awards?

Just use the new features of the forum. Post and respond to posts. Tag your threads and the threads of others. Give reputation points. Create and vote on polls. Write in your blog. Comment on the profiles of others. Upload and share pictures. In general -- just be here and share Christmas with us!

[Maureen]

Hey - that's what being an Executive Elf is all about!

[Maebeary]

These are interesting levels! Thanks. :razz:

[caninemom3]

It has been mentioned somewhere that a person should "tag their threads" How do you do this ???

[ChristmasHeart]

:razz:Ah-ha! I didn't realize there was a thread for this topic. Well...I am a Chestnut Roaster now - I think as of yesterday!
