poster status and those little round circles
Posted: Sat Nov 8, 2008 11:08 pm
I looked around the site and through 8 pages of these FAQ posts and couldn't find the answers , so I'm making a post to ask the question.
I used to be a real gm, but then the criteria for real gm changed, and some new names and posting levels were established. i was a veteran and now am an analyst. is it possible to put somewhere the different posting levels, their names and how many posts a person needs to achieve that status?
the other question I have is about those little circles. they appear on the index page right before the thread title. i can figure out that the lock means a locked thread. but what do the others icons mean? Sometimes I see data flowing. sometimes it's standing still. sometimes there is an exclamation mark in the little circle. and how are these circles created? Do they refer to a hot topic? one that's had a lot of responses? one that is currently being read by somebody? one that has had a lot of viewership lately? once again, can you define somewhere what these little circles mean?
