    I suppose I'm not the first to ask and some labels seem self-explanatory but others are a mystery. Hero, Jr for example. How do you move from being one kind of a member to another?

    Your label changes as you post more, that's all :) It's purely on number of posts.

    Oh, yeah, sorry, it's actually based on an algorithm combining number of forum posts and number of Animal Rescues performed by the member.

    Is there list somewhere of the number of posts we need to make before gaining the next level?

    Newbie = up to 20 posts
    Junior = 20 or more posts
    Full = 100 or more posts
    Sr = 500 or more posts
    Hero = 1000 or more posts

    I'm not sure if the newbies were changed though - something to do with being able to post photos?

    I see!
    Well, I sort of rescued 5 horses and a foal who were abandoned in a flooded field in our recent floods. When I say I rescued them what really happened is I phoned the RSPCA - twice. ???
    It may be a while before I have photos (9 weeks ish) AND I am not very technically minded :-\ so I may be a newbie for some time!

    Re: What do all the membership labels mean?

    Most forums have member groups based on post counts. It enables forum admins to grant privileges to more senior members. At the moment we only use it to allow/deny access to a couple of boards.

    The post counts were altered a little while back.

    You need
    15 to be a junior member
    100 to be a full member
    300 to be a senior member
    1000 to be a hero member

    Guests and newbie members don't have full access to the forum, they can't see the photos and videos board, and the off topics board for example.

    And I'm guessing that the coloured blocks have significance too:

    Red = God
    Blue = Demi-god
    Yellow = Mere mortal ;)

    If you get blue blocks you also get a free cape.

    Actually, no, I didn't get a cape :(
