What are all the stars poping up mean? they are under everyone's user name. most have gold stars but the people who post the most have different colors. this might sound dumb but does anyone know what they mean and how they got there?

Hmmm this is kinda sad.. I never noticed the stars till you just pointed it out LOL. Perhaps it has to do with the number of posts a person has?

I did some snooping and found this. Hope it helps.

What the stars signify under user names

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see stars! I just added stars under user names in the posts... The color and amount depends on how many posts you've made.

Newbie - 1
Fish Bum (25 posts) - 2
Fish Helper (100 posts) - 3
Fish Addict (300 posts) - 4
Fish Keeper (500 posts) - 5
Fish Mentor (2000 posts) - 5
Fish Master (5000 posts) - 5
Fishlore Magazine Author (no min posts) - 5
Moderators - 5

Just something fun to do.

I have no idea how to link to posts in different threads so i just did a C&P of a mods answer to your star question.

They've only been there since this morning

This was a thread made by a moderator explaining what they all mean (most of them do depend on the number of posts you have):

Got there before me

I should snoop around some more and find out how you post a link to a post in different forum..

This style of posting board is different for me and i dont have it all figured out yet LOL.

If you click the picture of the world above the message box, then just copy and paste the link of the other thread into it.

I don't like it when everything gets moved around either. You get used to something, then it gets changed again...

What are the little stars for under our names? Just wondering

Mike did a post about this just today....

It has to do with how many posts you have, or if you are a moderator......

The stars were a long time feature of Fishlore before the upgrade to vBulletin last September. Mike's brought them back and got them working with vBulletin.

Upon yours and my joking around about it too. But Mike is always doing a great job of keeping this forum up and running for all of us.
