New Member Ranks

[Ted S]

A while back this subject came up but more side discussions arrose than suggestions. Right now we have a rather default set of user ranks which I would like to change around to make them, well, more fun and better related to Scuba. If you have a suggestion for one, two or every level of rank please post them here.

Our current rank sys is as follows:

New Member 1 Star - Minimum Posts: 0
Junior Member 1.5 Stars - Minimum Posts: 25
Regular Member 2 Stars - Minimum Posts: 50
Regular Member 2.5 Stars - Minimum Posts: 75
Regular Member 3 Stars - Minimum Posts: 100
Regular Member 3.5 Stars - Minimum Posts: 250
Senior Member 4 Stars - Minimum Posts: 500
Senior Member 4.5 Stars - Minimum Posts: 750
ScubaBoard Veteran 5 Stars - Minimum Posts: 1000

The fish names are just off the top of the head, I'm more suggesting the theme....

I think the current set up is quite satisfactory.

Me too. I'm with The Kracken. I like to be able to personalize your rank.

Didn't we recently have the ability to customize out rank lines? I went to change it today and can't seem to find where the option to do this has gone.

I agree with keeping the ranking as is. It's more adult. If you went with cutsey names I would feel that little Shirley Temple was running the board.

If you type it in like this (but without the spaces) you will get a link:
[url = www.etc.com]www.etc.com[ /url] it will look like this www.etc.com and be a link to that site. Put it in your sig line and you are golden

If you put your email address in a post or PM, it'll automatically look like this: DandyDon@ScubaBoard.com as the (blanks added to prevent action) [ email]DandyDon@Scuba.Board.com [ /email] will be added. For a Sig, you need to add those codes.

Cick the reply button to see my codes.

[url = www.etc.com]www.etc.com[ /url] it will look like this www.etc.com and be a link to that site. Put it in your sig line and you are golden

No - actually, this is true for site links, not email addresses. Again, the [ url] is automatically added in posts and PMs, but not so in Sigs.

You can also hyperlink: [ url=www.etc.com]Etc[ /url] becomes Etc
