I'd like to access my favourites list, is this possible? I'd also like to see how the ranking system works. What's a gold member? is this something to do with paying? If so how much? Can I donate without going through Pay Pal?

I hate being called 'Junior' Grin

LOL...I can't answer all of your queries, but suffice to say that your membership level changes purely on the basis of the number of posts you've made (unless you gain modding privileges, of course)...

At 80 posts, you are currently 20 short of being a 'Full Member'...

'Senior' membership kicks in at 250 posts and 'Gold' at 500...

Membership levels on this forum may change according to the number of posts made .. but the resultant level issued doesn't really mean much.

In short .. it doesn't really matter what colour or word shows under your name.

Is anyone in favour of limiting the use of, or size of, images in signatures, or limiting font size, colour etc?

yes me I hate those moving pictures give me a headache... are they really necessary?

I dislike the colour type as well some take so many liberties..I do by pass them but its a shame to have to be driven to that.

Thanks for the replies guys Kiss

. So nobody knows how to access their favourites list? Well I don't suppose it matters much, the email notification works pretty good, but I miss having a list of threads I'm subscribed to, it used to help with navigating my way around the forum on the Guardians site. I'm enjoying my time here, but feeling a bit lost as to where to strike next. Grin

Your question got me thinking so i had a bit of a play and clicked add to favourites button on this thread.
After looking thru my profile trying to find the list I've come back to the forum to find a gold star next to this thread.
I can only assume from this it's not so much a list but just adding a marking to the thread list on the ones you like.

I thought I was seconding the idea of limiting signatures to text, I wouldn't see any reason to change avatars. But I know that signatures can get really big and that's a bit tiresome.

Brilliant Equitist - Forum Jump. Now that looks like the most useful button to know to me, it's kinda secret like a hidden door Grin

i think we should let everybody in on the secret. - (or are they?) Grin

Cods what colour type are you referring to?

the pink and blue and primrose too....someone who will remain nameless on the politicians suck board uses them all the time..I find it immature to be honest.,.. I like this idea of reading all the posts at once good idea.. so clever saves a "where was I " moment.

when we evolve something and think its a good idea.. someone in your position should take a bit more time to think how will the brain deprived handle this!@!!!!!!!
