I obviously need to post much more ofter. There is just something about my status being "fishy member" that doesn't sound so appealing to me!!! :P :P :D


....and yes, I think the long winter has finally gotten to me! :blink:

Derrick

Yeah, it sounds fishy to me!

I figured people on this forum like fish and don't mind being called fishy. By boss actually refers to me by the name of "Fishy."

Hi Robyn

I would like to know how to become a fishy member.I have seen it and I think it goes by the number of posts.Is that right.If I have enough how do I become a member.

Swamp, you have many more posts than I do! :huh:

Hi Route3drummer

I know I do but I don't know how to become a fishy member.Maybe I have to wait for Robyn to do that for me.

Well guys I hope I don't get shot for this but here is what you can do:

Go to "Control Panel".

Then to "Edit Profile Info" on the left side of the screen.

Then to "Custom Member Title" and change there.

Technically you are supposed to post enough posts to earn your next level R3D. Earn may not be the right word but you know what I mean. :) You do sound a little fishy to me. :lol: ;)

It's been nice knowing you.. :)

This is what Robyn has it automatically set to do: (her quote below)
I have also changed the forum ranks. If you post 30 messages, you become a Fishy Member, 100 is Fishy Lover, and over 500 is Super Fishy.

hahaha...well I promise not to tamper with my fishiness! :D

tia,
Right now you have 520 posts, and you are shown as a "Fishy Lover".
Shouldn't you be a "Super Fishy" by now? :blink:

PG

Yea I probably should but I changed it a while back to say Merry Christmas, then changed it back to Fishy Lover. I noticed today that it hadn't changed too. I think once you go in and do the "edit" thingy it stays. From then on you have to manually change the thing. :blink: :rolleyes: :)

Thanks for the info tlc. I am now a fishy lover.

The ranks are:

0 to 9 posts = Newbie
10 to 29 posts = New Member (I just changed it from Member)
30 to 99 = Fishy Member
100 to 499 = Fishy Lover
500 to 999 = Super Fishy
1000+ = Fishy Connoisseur (I just added that so you have something to strive for!)

And yes, you can change them yourself which kind of defeats the purpose.

Robyn isn't a Fishy Connoisseur somebody that EATS fish? ha ha. :lol: (kidding)

Robyn you have over 5000 posts what would that make you?

Yea, it does defeat it. I'll go change mine.

From the dictionary (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/connoisseur )
I found:
"One who enjoys with discrimination and appreciation of subtleties <a connoisseur of fine wines>"

So, a fishy connoisseur is one who appreciates the subtleties of fish!

Since I'm the administrator, the system gives me that title.

:lol: Somehow I knew you look the meaning up Robyn!

I like fish but not wine. Maybe Jack Daniels would work instead. ;)

I don't like wine or fish (too eat)...but Jack...mmmmmm :D

woohoo...I have been upgraded to fishy lover! :D

Even though the people here can appreciate this, I'm not sure it is a title I would want to be tagged with when I am with my non-ponding friends!! :blink: :P

I think I have posted more in the last week than I did in the last year leading up to it! hahaha
