To the 'powers that be':

Just curious about the post count totals and what the titles are that go with them???

Right now I'm at ~150 = some boost

Thanks, Paul

vBulletin calls that setting a User Title. Those values are automagically set, except for some folks that have received custom settings, which are (or were) randomly applied in a manual fashion. We don't keep any records of why we did things in the past, so either no one really knows - or they're reluctant to say. And no one really remembers who has the ability (permission?) to change those values.

Way back in the day we, collectively, devised the following assignments between post count and User Titles:
6691

If I remember Patrick, Mitch and I were on a conference call and Patrick had his cat listen in while I relied on feedback from my gold fish, Herman. And we were all drinking shots during the call. Not sure about Pat's cat though but my gold fish was definitely getting shots dumped into his "cup".

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

You have a better system than Congress.

Unlike Congress, we were under a time limit (to launch the new website and forum).

lol...I was just wondering. :confused:
I have the ability to 'tweak' the settings on TF so I thought I would ask.
At least you had someone helping who had a clue (the cat and the goldfish). :stick_poke:
