Forum ranks
 

We have just enabled the ranking feature of phpBB. Please tell what do you think of it. :roll:

Just thought I'd chime in here... We got too many sticky topics right now.

One suggestion, could we create a forum area where only moderators and admins such as yourself could post news related to the board. For example, listing hot topics, and informing people to post their x-cart version when asking questions.

Could keep from all these sticky messages just bloating the forums, that should be in a more "News" type area.

Just my 2cents. 8O

My humble opinion, for what it is worth.

I think the new rating system may be misleading.
I am being rated as a senior member. I have lots of posts because in the start, I had lots of questions. Now, I try to help others, but I am certainly not that knowledgeable with this program to be considered a senior member. I can help only because a lot of the setting up is fresh in my mind, as I am still going through it myself, and have worked out a few bugs along the way.

I would hate to achieve the rating of expert at some point and give the newbies the wrong impression. Which is why I am including my level of knowledge in my signature now.

It is nice though to know the true experts like Boomer and Shan (and any others), but I certainly should never be classified even anywhere near to their ranking!

I might be just me....

Ranking is just done by postings, so it has no bearing on the persons ability. :wink:

I agree with Boomer there, Lets have a section at the top of the forum called 'Announcements' or something similar where we and x-cart can post important messages that concern everyone.

I agree to about the rankings, It could be missleading.

Expert? Me? Not a chance. I realize these are based on number of posts made but certainly don't want it to give the impression of a level of knowledge.
