As far as I am concerned , you have been an expert for many years, thanks to all the great contributions and libraries dedicated to this forum. I wish Erel does away with these classifications and removes these different levels. so everyone has the same classification and garners the same respect, regardless of the number of messages. The hierarchy established in the forum is sometimes intimidating to many of us and especially to newer members. Everyone should be a 'Member' and everyone knows in their heart their level of knowledge. In 300 more messages, I would be classified as 'Expert'. There is no way. I have a long way to go and do not consider that reachable, as there is always something new coming down the pike that brings you back to Earth. I like the 'like' system which shows appreciation for help. Last edited: Mar 15, 2017

moster67 Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 15, 2017 #4 Compliments to @corwin42. Agree though with @Mahares.
ilan Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 15, 2017 #5 if i am not wrong you get that title if you post 2000 msg. so i also got the expert title after posting 2000 questions. the difference is i am not sure i have the answers for them so i guess i am an expert in asking questions

udg Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 15, 2017 #6 @corwin42 : congratulations! Personally I prefer the "well-known" status because I like to read it as "a person with good reputation", so I hope Erel will one day raise the number of needed messages for the Expert status to 3000 or more, postponing my title change. Oooops, this message took me one step closer to it ..eheh

klaus Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 15, 2017 #7 Well, I have never considered this 'important'. But, I am sure that the users of this forum recognize the Experts, independent of the subtitle below their avatar and the number of posts.

tufanv Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 16, 2017 #9 Yes I consider my self as "Well Known Question Asker"
corwin42 Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 16, 2017 #10 As many others mentioned here I think the status is completely useless but I guess it can't be removed from the forum software. It was just interesting for me to check, when I registered to the forum and to remember how I got here. Yes, it was a long way from the old Basic4PPC days until today. I learned a lot in these years.

Click to expand... Obviously it means something to @Erel. If you click on the 'members' button located at the top left on this page, you will be greeted with the 'Top 20 Notable Members'. That is definitely intimidating. Perhaps if @Erel prefers to leave it this way or cannot modify is, to give the member the ability to edit his/her profile where he/she can hide his/her number of messages and ranking. This way you can please everyone on both sides of the aisle.

At the forums i admined and hosted, this was just checkbox for showing the rank, edittext for the rankstring and a number for the needed posts in the adminpanel. But like the rest of you i don't care if it is there or not

Mikelgiles Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 19, 2017 #15 I think I am too old to be intimated and also too old to ever become a expert. I think I will just be a member and just be known for my dumb questions.

There is a chinese quote that says: "Don't be shy to ask, be shy not to know!" So i am not sure if there are dumb question but there are for sure question that could be easy to solve. So always try first by yourself and use the search function and if u r stuck ask your question even if it looks dumb to you its better to ask then to don't know the answer. Last edited: Apr 3, 2017

Mikelgiles Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 19, 2017 #17 I always search before asking. The reason I think some are dumb is that I am pretty far behind on new stuff. Took me forever to get off of the old DOS Quick Basic and onto VB6. I am hoping it doesn't take me so long to move forward this time.

Eme Fibonacci Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 22, 2017 #18 I always look for questions that I can help. I stay happy when I help some. But usually I only get "Thank you". Rarely "likes". I think it will take me a long time to have 100 "likes". Whatever. I like b4x.
