    We've changed the User Titles that appear under your User Name. They were very simple

    0-29 posts: Junior Member
    30-99 posts: Member
    100->> posts: Senior Member

    but now, in keeping with the subject matter of the forum, we've changed it to

    0 - 99 apprentice gardener
    100 - 999 gardener
    1,000 - 4,999 keen gardener
    5,000 - 9,999 serious gardener
    10,000+ committed gardener

    Hope you all approve!

    Ah Daisees, now that is 100% better. Much more greenfingered.

    A lovely change. Thankyou very much.

    It's just to do with the forum coding - supermods have access to more bells and whistles than mods - which we don't have on here anyway.




    You want the short answer or the long one! :wink: :p

    I also agree with bobj ... I know I'm considered .... or used to be .... a 'chatterbox' because of my postings (I'm third down in the over 10,000 mob with Pal quickly approaching) ... but I have some 3,500 plus photos up on Photobucket which are 90-something percent up here in flora/fauna/landscape so I feel I'm contributing in the correct manner. :thumb:

    I do like some of the games though ..... :D

    Because we noticed that the top ranked 'title' ceilinged out at 100 posts but we have people on here with 10,000+ posts and thought we should reflect that. That's all.

    I like the new titles - they're appropriate. Keep it simple: you could go on complicating the system till Doomsday - you're never going to please everyone! Just curious to know - how do the administrators make decisions? Do you have 'online meetings' to discuss things? Lindy.

    Who cares what your "rank" is? You can sort out, pretty quickly who can help you. ( Thankyou walnut and the other experts) Where's Pro Gard?
