new member?

[Cheri_MacCallum]

I've been a member of this forum since it started. Why does it still say "new member" under my name?

[Gregory_Aide]

The rating "new member" goes by how active you've been in the forum. Example, you've only posted about 15 posts, so you're still a "new member" even though you've been here probably a lot longer than some of the other "senior members". The reason that they become "senior members" is because they've posted a lot and are very active.

Hi Cheri;

As Matt said, it goes by how many times you have posted. I responded to a recent post by you and welcomed you to the Forum. Given the few times you have posted I thought you just joined. I too joined when it 1st started but this is post #2750 for me. I really enjoyed teaching, when going for my Craftsman Degree, and still enjoy teaching and helping people. So, I challenge you to share your knowledge and expertise to help people on here.

Hi Cheri;

Matt is right, but here is...the rest of the story: The new member status automatically switches to senior member when you have 100 posts. I don't know why it's 100, I just know that's the way it is.

We'd love to hear from you more, jump on in, the water is fine!

Cheri,

I believe the magic number is 100 posts.

I think the cutoff is 25 or 30 posts, Cheri. Love the avatar, BTW.

[Cheri_MacCallum]

Gotcha! Thank you!

[Cheri_MacCallum]

Thanks for the info!

Craig was at NEIPP school in March; I was in Scott Dupras class.

As an artist, you ought to go to Marilyn Sholin's forum.
