Your Ranking on the New Forum

[Stephen]

Good news... we now have a more in-depth ranking system (the military "rank" you get for each post you put up here) which will be a lot of fun and is far more detailed than the old one.

Also, you'll notice that your number of posts has been adjusted to reflect all of the posts you had on the old forum, plus the posts that you've written on the new forum. So long time members don't get "gyped" out of all their old posts in their ranking.

I will try to make this adjustment for all new members who join this forum. If I miss it, please let me know and I'll adjust your ranking.

Jen, you and George seemed to post under the same account on the old forum, but here you have separate ones, so I've credited you with the same number as George's online identity and from here on your posts will be scored independently.

BTW, everybody relax for a little while and expect the ranks to be shaken up some. I'm still working on a system that will be fun. You're post numbers won't change, but the rank associated with it might.

Question: Stephen, stupid question, but how do you start a dialog under one of the heading that doesn't have anything to reply to. I guess I'm showing my rank, novice that I am. Anyone replying would be a help.Thanks

[Stephen]

You can start a brand new dialogue (or "thread") by going into the appropriate category, looking on the top right in the green heading band and clicking on "new thread." This will bring up a new box that you can title, then type in the text and then click "post thread" or "post reply."

Let me know if you have any more problems or questions.
