Hi there!

I have noticed the members making post and replies show as a "veteran" member, "sage" member, or "junior" member etc. Where do I find all the categories and when a member is changed from category/type to another?

Let's hope curiosity does NOT kill the cat!

The category changes as your post count increases. I don't remember the numbers associated with each level.

It’s just the way the post counts have worked automatically since the beginning of TOTV. It’s just about the numbers. The names mean nothing more than that.

(Just edited out my morning’s long story about my own TOTV history. If you read it, thanks for reading. But once in a while, I decide to make it a short run just for the exercise.)

Thanks so much! Just curious! I was thinking it was based on time as member, but you know how assuming gets us in trouble :_)

Thanks - I was thinking it had to do with how long a person had been a member.

It's kind of like participation trophies for posters, personal prestige for those that need a bit of an ego boost as participation increases. .

Just more psychobabble. We all get them whether we want them or not.

Comments under posts count as posts too. I’ve never made a post myself, but have obviously commented under a post more than 500 times.

That statement itself was post #10 in this thread. You aren't making a comment, you are posting in a thread. Any time you hit the "Submit Reply" button you are posting in a thread.

Everyone has an opinion, here in TV probably more so, and the more opinionated the more posts/ replies.
