Thank You 1dave. This is really, really useful (and for me necessary). I've kept this post open in its own window for easy reference. Still trying to figure out how to highlight a member's name: if I click on insert user link and type in "1dave" or "1dave" then enter I get an error: "could not connect to search server." Maybe I am doing it wrong?

mouse over the name to get the real board name of the user (sometimes they are different). Then put that name along with the @ symbol in front of it. That will link to the person. Then they may or may not get a message that you tagged them. Depends on their settings. chelx2

Thank you, rockjunquie (Tela) ! Pat-The all caps are nice and inviting, too. herchenx-- Appreciate your additional info for Dropbox, getting the link worked a charm. My mistake on my first attempt to insert the photo was failing to add any text in the "Alt Text" box. The link seemed to disappear into the aether when I clicked on Insert Image.

Oh dear. I was a big member of this site years ago and now I'm back. But I seriously dont understand how this works. Maybe I'll figure it out by the time I actually have some finished rocks to post pics of.

1dave in your spare time would you mind updating the front page of this post to include a reference to the new rules page? Especially the screen shot of the navigation bar which now includes the rules page link. If you can't, let me know and I'll try to muddle through it. Thanks

Done. - I think. Navigation bar? Perhaps you had better take over.

Forgive my newbie ignorance but I need some guidance. I have searched through all sorts of technical help and FAQ and I can't find it. I have noticed yesterday that already the second time in the short period that I have been a member of this forum the rankings (stars, colours and member titles) have changed. Where is some scale or explanation determining how they are assigned, how many posts do you need to get a certain amount of stars or which title? When somebody starts "spending too much on rocks"? What is "cave dweller"? Is there any clarification scale available somewhere? Thanks!

What is "cave dweller"? Is there any clarification scale available somewhere? Thanks! Hi Kai, thanks for the questions. The ranks and stars are a fun thing that occurs automatically when certain #'s of posts are reached. We've been using the same ranks and stars that were pretty outdated from the early days of the board and there have been several attempts to compile a list of new ones with input from the community. The change you are observing is that very thing finally taking place. There is no (not yet) compiled list of the ranks to point you to other than the Members List. The Cave Dweller's group is a voluntary user group that becomes available to members upon reaching 250 posts. You're almost there which could be a blessing or a curse . After reaching 250 posts and (again, voluntarily) joining the Cave Dwellers group the member has access to a previously unseen area of the forum called The Cave. It's basically a chit chat area where polarizing subjects are allowed like politics and religion. The Cave was created as a way to solve a problem we were having, to get polarizing subjects out of the Life In General off-topic area, and out of the eyes of newcomers to the forum. It also stops polarizing threads and posts from popping up in members "recent threads" etc. unless they have joined the Cave Dwellers group.
