william Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Hi everyone,I have realised that some of the members on here are 'Validating', most people are 'Members', Sylvester is an'Expert Member', and Chris is 'admin'. I was wondering what it all meant. Can anyone tell me?Thanks,William. Quote

Chris...I think it's about time Geoff was upgraded to an 'expert member'!'validating'? i must have missed that!I got upgraded early on because i was one of the few of the early members that hung on and still checks the site out, that and i think i answered quite alot of questions back then, but Geoff seems to beat me to it these days!

william Posted March 27, 2004 Author Posted March 27, 2004 I was just trying to post a URL showing the validating members, but it just came up with the forum home page!! Quote
Sylvester Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Sylvester,here]Have a look here to see the 'Validating' members I take it validating will be those that Chris is approving?Nice to have the 'expert members' staffroom to myself, but i find it gets a little crowded at times... Quote

Chris Perkins Posted March 27, 2004 Posted March 27, 2004 Ok, let me explain....Sylvester is an expert member because like he said, he did (and still does) add valuable accurate replies to questions posted on the forum. He also knows his area very well, so I manually upgraded him to an 'Expert Member'.And you're right, perhaps it's about time I added some new expert members, Geoff particularly.There is a basic scale that you climb dependant on how many posts you have made. But I do the odd thing manually, because I can, and it's much more fun.When a member is 'Validating' it means that they have not yet confirmed their email address. All new members get an email, and have to respond to it before they are a proper member. That's an automatic forum thing, it does not rely on my input. Quote
Geoff T Posted March 29, 2004 Posted March 29, 2004 I think it's about time Geoff was upgraded to an 'expert member'! Flattery will get you everwhere G Quote
