Sorta curious how the scoring works on this board. I have a feeling that I'll be old and gray before I ever lose the "junior" name tag from my profile or fill up the video game power up bar
TTBOMK the post counter shows all posts, but off topic posts don't count towards increasing your "status". I believe that explains the apparent paradox. If you really want to know, then I suggest paging Mcruzer who maintains the forum.
I am pretty sure Wes is correct, off-topic posts don't 'move the bar'. I've not paid much attention to the rep system, my responsibility for this forum is to keep it up and keep the comment spammers out.
I haven't fiddled with my default view settings, and I don't even SEE the rep points on posts. Probably why I haven't paid much attention to it.
I don't think we have an actual brokenness problem here? Just trying to sort out why the post counts don't actually accumulate rep?

The original question was how many 'on topic' posts it takes to acquire each title, and the consensus seems to be that the bar has been raised considerably higher since upgrading to the new forum. I was curious how many posts it will take for me to ditch the "junior" nametag. I haven't lost too much sleep over it though. More importantly, since we've got you here, is what is up with the posting of pictures? We have to use some combination of mad science, psychic prediction and sorcery in order to get them to post at a normal viewable size. Is there something that you or another admin can do on your end to remedy this?
