UKBF Newcomer..

[ryedale]

Hi

At what point do you stop being a 'UKBF newcomer' in your profile details to the left of posts

Thanks!

I can't seem to find a definite list but you need to make in excess of 1000 posts to stop becoming a newcomer.

As a full member though, you can change your title to something else (like mine), go to your account and look for custom title

Not sure its as high as 1000 as I'm at ~900ish and I'm supposedly a 'regular' other better known as 'needs to get a life outside of the forum'.

Many thanks for that, will have to think of something now!

I looked at someone with only a few less posts than you which was newcomer, so it must be around the 700 - 900 mark?

@Dan Izzard will be able to tell us

As with the other 400 issues that were never addressed on this forum, it was suggested that post count thresholds for member titles ought to be changed as you shouldn't really be a newcomer still 500+ posts contributed. Along with the points accumulation, trophies and members list, none of this was ever changed, sorted or fixed from the default forum settings.

Will take a look for you @ryedale. With 508 posts you should be listed as a more appropriate 'Enthusiast'!

+ 30 posts is 'UKBF Contributor'
+100 is Regular
+500 Enthusiast

I don't think that's right. I'm still showing as a newcomer with 108 posts.

 

[CentralBeltITServices]

Wow. Guess I have a long way to go having only just joined ;-) I would have expected the number to be lower and then add in a number of months or something like that.

3140 posts and I'm a contributor.
Been called worse by my kids.

So this is the official "contribution growth ladder"?
Do like the terms by the way, they seem reflective/descriptive of the level of contribution rather than being ego -gratifying monikers!

Having only recently upgraded (Today) I was keen to try out the benefits of being a Full Member.

To my disappointment I am unable to place a marketplace listing until I have written 30 posts. This is apparently to cut down on spamming. I would have thought me writing 30 posts in order to get to place a listing in the marketplace actually encourages spamming!!!... and at no point during paying for the upgrade did it mention this.

I have no problem in contributing, actually its one of the reasons I joined was to help others and in turn benefit from it. No doubt I will reach 30 pretty quickly but I don't get the logic behind having these milestones in order to get the benefits that we are promised when we pay to upgrade.

Hi Dan

Sorry, I missed this reply - if you could get that changed for me, that would be great thanks

Whilst I'm here - how do I go about becoming a verified business?

Thanks

 

[CentralBeltITServices]

Correction to my earlier post. I can place a marketplace listing but cant add links to my website. Just another 10 posts to go before i can

 

[ryedale]

Found where to apply for verified business - done that!

 

[CentralBeltITServices]

Where about is that ryedale?

I wouldn't expect any change in a hurry, it's fast approaching a year since this new forum was launched and it's been abandoned for some time now with many of the suggested changes or promised development phases dumped by Sift.

Developments are being made but not as quick as they should be, basically Sift have one development team for all their sites and each "team" has to approach the development manager and ask for their time on X project for Y time. IMHO each team should have it's own development team to keep on top of the development needed but hey ho!

It's a little ironic that you should post that, when it was sorted yesterday.

Yeah, that's been the word for many many months now.

I haven't seen anything change in at least 6 months. And many of the broken bits remain broken 6+ months on.

What was sorted yesterday?

 

[zigojacko]

Oh, I see now.

Wheyhey, it only took 9 months to finally make this 5 minute change.

I'm not saying they were speedy, or that it shouldn't have been sorted sooner, just that it made me laugh that you posted 'don't hold your breath' when it was done yesterday.

I have lost all my points as well, hmm, what is going on, I am just back to forum after while.
