Title: Quick question about forum.
Post by: Seahawk12 on August 16, 2017, 09:24:32 AM
Just curious what the little colored squares above the avatars signify?
I notice there can be different number of them and different colors.

I looked around the site trying to find an explanation but struck out.

They are strike counts. Get 3 and you get the ban hammer  :chuckle:

Kidding......I have no idea

Not sure I should talk to someone with as many strikes as you. Gotta avoid the ole guilt by association.  :chuckle:
I'm sure there's a pretty mundane answer, but it's starting to be that itch you can't scratch.

Ha....I hadn't even noted how many I had. Guess I should be gone by now  :chuckle:

If the square color is green, it indicates that member is currently online.  If it is yellow, it shows that they are logged off.

That is how I understand it anyway. :twocents:


edit - might be thinking of different squares.  :dunno:

Different squares.
You and I have a single yellow square over our avatars. Quadfire has 5 yellow squares over his.
I've noticed some people have blue and others have red.

This has been asked before but I don't recall the answer, or if there even was an answer.

Doesn't seem to have anything to do with join date, post count, or trade count.

Red is adminisrater, blue is moderator, and yellow is regular members.

Then the number of boxes is related to coolness factor. Notice I have 5 and Seahawk only 1. Just sayin  ;)

Yellow stars are based on your post count and member group, mods are 5 blue, and admin are 5 Red

I don't get that even though clearly that's what it says it clearly in your screenshot. Curly has 1 yellow and he's an Explorer with 17k+ posts.

You only have five, "Legend".  :chuckle:

Darned algorithms can figure anything out anymore!
I knew that snoopy lunchbox would cost me some day.

As to the explanation, is that post count within an individual group?
Not total post count spread out among many groups?

I think with the new update it reset your yellow boxes, I went in just now and made registered member my primary group and tada lots of yellow boxes to match my explorer status.

Hey, I just tried that and it worked for me too. Now I have more boxes than I know what to do with. 8)
