When I go to the members list there are stars. What are the stars for? I can see they're not for posts or anything. Some are white, some gold, some people have one some have 5. What are the stars there for? ---------------------------- A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.
I've been wondering the same thing. I noticed that Alien has 5 gold stars.. I guess the more gold, the higher your rank? ---------------------------- You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help. - Calvin
i think it shows what rank you are.. prober, grunt etc... appears to be that the admin(alien) gets 5 stars... us mods get 4 gold ones...
You know, I can't exactly remember. . My current *theory* is that 5 are for admin, 4 are for moderators, 2 are for full members (more than 25 posts), 1 is for junior members? Think I'm close? Anyone catch someone with 3? . ---------------------------- Alien - Administrator / Owner ["Everything was true. God was an alien.

Actually, before I got bumped to moderator, I only had 3. Now, it's up to 4. Just my opinion here, but isn't this a redundant feature? Instead of having stars, wouldn't it just be simpler to have a Moderator label next to the moderators? If it's just showing that one group is an Admin, one group's a Moderator, and everyone else is just a regular user, than what's the point, other than eye candy? ---------------------------- I am Jack's raging inner child. Without me, Jack has to deal with the pitfalls of reality.
And, as I said, some are silver and others are gold. Some have one silver star and others have one gold...
It looks as if Alien has done a lot of work in ubb_library2.pl.. if you want me to figure it out then you can send me it .

Alien, did you ever decide why you have different colored stars? ---------------------------- You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocketship underpants don't help. - Calvin
Or why you have them at all? ---------------------------- A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged.
The stars are just part of the memberlist hack. It is quite simple to change it to the icons Alien uses for the user rankings in the forums... I think he is a little busy with the server move at the moment... I will have a word with him next time he is on.
Yeah, I'm interested in switching those default 'star' images, to the 'Galaga' images that we currently use for ranks.. I just never customized that. I could perhaps use a hand, ukliam. . ---------------------------- Alien - Administrator / Owner ["Everything was true. God was an alien.

Hey, I used to have three, but now I only have two- who stole my star!! . . ---------------------------- Scotty, the native aliens here ARE friendly...
i think you should either give me another star or abolish the star system. having 2 all the time is depressing . maybe if they sparkled or something they'd be more interesting . ---------------------------- This message will self-destruct in 5...4...3...
you can always become a moderator. umm...four stars.... ---------------------------- my eyes, the goggles do nothing
Yeah and then you won't have to worry about karma either. Plus u get access to the private forums. ---------------------------- "To each his own." ah-HA - i see we're misbehaving AGAIN tonite eh, BOONE misbehaving...who me? (Boone attempts to look all innocent)
Is it possible that you get 3 gold stars when you hit 500 posts provided you are not an overlord. ---------------------------- ah-HA - i see we're misbehaving AGAIN tonite eh, BOONE misbehaving...who me? (Boone attempts to look all innocent)
