What is displayed in the forum postings in the gray box to the left? I see my user name, esjones, my Avatar (pic of my Vibe). It says I am a "new member" but others say "member" or Adminstrator. Also, what is the [100%] next to the number of posts I've made?Thanks.

If you're not a moderator or an admin, your level will increase with the number of post. quote:Also, what is the [100%] next to the number of posts I've made?This means you have access to 100% of the forum.

I thought 100% was your user rating, meaning a user in good standing.

Yes I think thats what it means, Frosty. Regular users don't have access to the Moderator section of the forum, I don't think. So it can't be that you have access to 100% of the forum.

The user rating is pretty much unused on this forum (turned off). What it is supposed to do is subtract user rating (like a value) if you edit or delete one of your posts, a moderator deletes your post, or an administrator subtracts from your rating for misbehavior and bad language.Overall it is supposed to keep you in-line by hanging a number over your head. You are supposed to keep the number high by being a 'good' member. This would work better in very large forums and can help moderation.We have no use for this at this time here.

heck I'd be at zero by now if you lost a number everytime you edited your post! I hate seeing spelling mistakes in my posts.

The rating "subtractions" are adjustable. If enabled, I would personally only set subtractions to be a result of bad language and misbehavior.
