Members list
 

I checked out the members list and noticed a little green square at the end at the end it said I was on a distinguised road, sounds great, everyone else has it too. I think they have the red carpet out for us all!

Sorry Val, I can't answer your question. While we're on the member list topic I have a question of my own. What is the refferal all about?? I noticed I had 2 and who refers you??

Thanks all,

Robin

I don't know that either Robin, shall have to look at mine. Maybe people are trying to spread the word that this site is open for members temporarily, and perhaps they think you would appreciate knowing of it.. It might be some of yours friends. That is all I can think of.
Looks like you are popular in my mind.

The referral is the same here is on the real BT.
You just put down who told you about this site.

Its nothing big but I know I have a few on the BT original board.

They just like memembers to share the link to get more members

The green dot is reputation - I'm not sure what the settings are for this forum but other forums I post on have it.

Everyone starts out on a "distinguished road" and this status changes as your post count increases to a certain level/number.

Each member can give good (green) and bad (red)reputation to any member for any given post.

To give someone reputation, click on the icon of the scales under that person's name (between the online/offline and "report bad post" symbols). A message box will appear asking if you approve or disapprove, and there is also an optional comments field.

You can check your reputation by clicking the "User CP" shortcut in the blue links bar. You can also use that link to view any threads you have subscribed to (if you subscribe to a thread you get e-mail notifications when a reply is posted)

Normally there is a number next to the green dot indicating the reputation power you have (number) if you give reputation to someone else. The more squares present, the more reputation that person has. The number increases when people give you reputation points. Members with light green squares have more power than those with dark green squares.

All new members start out as a "Junior Member" although in your personal settings there will be an option to create a custom title if you wish. This title changes as you reach each different level of posts (usually after each 100 posts).

Hope this info answers your questions :)
