catlover Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hello, everyone. I would finally like to know what the various forum user qualifications actually mean. Moderators - pretty obvious., Staff - even more so. But there are also : Members, Advanced members, Decicated Users. Have I missed any ? Are there more ? Who determines who's what ? Just curious how all this comes about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Most of the designations are automatic, based on your post count, but if you go to your profile page and click on the ‘Edit Profile’ link (in the Cover Photo area) you can do as I did and change your member title to whatever you like.

Or not... ;^) There's a difference between users as to what "group" they belong to and what appears right below their name (which can be changed). Take a look at Alfred's tag right below the name...or mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have mentioned that before, I think, and obviously a number of us have done it, but I've never found anything relevant when I edit my profile. Do you have a screenshot?

Perhaps @MEB or another moderator will be able to tell us (By the way, unless there's some trick I haven't found, with your current (very cute) username of αℓƒяє∂ it seems impossible to notify you using this forum software.

Too cute by half, it would seem: even ordinary characters have to be typed, not pasted, so any username which doesn’t at least begin with something you can type is immune from being automagically converted into a notification thingy.
