Profiles User Titles and Stuff Like That

Yeah - it's a 'feature' of the software. No big deal. We're easy here.

Da Cheech Wizard,

I kind of like the informal touch. I agree, 'Junior Member' gives me the wrong impression too.

Marc, I like the modifications you have been making to your site. I also noticed that the enrollment dropped from 324+ to 272. Were they idle accounts, or the folks known as the "Lurkers"?

Kim,
If you were to go to your profile....at the top of the page that comes up it has a search for all posts by that mem...uh, lurker...;-)

Also noticed the drop in members...

Check it out....I've been promoted already!! Where's my raise?
hehehe

I had noticed that search engine, and actually had to use it to find out where I had posted once last week.

Not to worry, I'm now reading a book on how to improve my memory, and will try not to have this difficulty in the future...

The forum has been up for a while. When I upgraded software I also deleted a number of 'users' who, it was obvious, 'registered', stopped by once or twice and never came back. I am sure I missed a bunch (there is no 'last visited' information, which is a shame) - the 'members' number is relative. IF I was just trying to 'pump up' the numbers I would have left those 'phantom' users on the list - but - I'm more interested in approximate accuracy. In all honesty I don't believe there are more than maybe 50 to 100 people who stop by on a regular basis.

As far as Kim's raise, well, Kim, I spoke with your boss and was told to tell you to stop by your boss's office and ASK nicely.... As far as your memory, if you are a child of the '50's or 60's (or earlier), you're forgiven. If not you have no excuse....

I can tell you're not telling the whole truth here....because my boss was in California today at a convention.

Although I am due for a review....and he'll be back tomorrow....

As for my excuse....I'm not telling you which decade I was born in....women's perogative Or was that changing my mind.....

Off to the homestead....later, all

Ummm, lets see. You used the word 'women' so ya have to be late thirtys or older... So - we're closing in!

Have you stopped by your boss's office to SEE for sure no one is there??? Hmmmm???

Hello, all

First I'd like to know how I went from "Junior Member" to "Lurker"....but that's not why I'm here.

Is there a way that I don't know about to check where it was that I last posted? I come back here and have to try to remember what subject and all I posted under. It can take quite awhile for me to try to trace back, but maybe it's just because I'm new. If it isn't just because I'm new, I'd like to see something where the forum will tell you where you last posted, or where all your posts are.

I don't even know if I'll be able to find this post again.....

Thanks!
Kim

The software was changed out over the weekend and we went to Lurker from Junior Member as Junior sounded so - well - I didn't like it. Lurker means you are registered but have less than 5 posts - so at best fo far you are 'lurking' (not significantly contributing). After about 5 posts you wil become a 'Contributer'. Forum Moderators are 'Local Wizards' and I (the overall administrator) am 'Da Cheech Wizard' (from Vaghn Bode's comic stip in the early to mid- 1970's).

So far identifying one's posts has not been brought up as a problem - but if you want to see your posts, go to the forum search engine and put in your name and do the search. There you have it!

So....if I hurry and post three more times I'll be promoted?? I wish it were that easy here at work!!!

Thanks!
Kim
