I get satisfaction from meaningless titles so How do i raise my member rank or become a moderator?
What do the green bars below my name symbolize?
They symbolize the number of posts you have. The more posts, the higher the meaningless title, up to, I believe, 100. After that the title remains the same, at least for now.
Hello everyone, I am wondering what is the difference between a Jr. member and a Sr. member? How does one become a Sr. member? Still very new here and finding the site more and more interesting. Thanks!
I understand now and thank you! I guess I best get busy. Also Doug, you highlight (in blue) within your reply box a specific statement another has said to indicate your response is for that post in particular. How do you do this?
Rcrase, when you reply, if you go to the right side and hit “post reply” rather than “fast reply” or if you hit “quote"you have the disadvantage of not seeing the prior posts, but you will see a few boxes above your message area that you can click on. One is color, another is type size, etc, b in brackets makes bold, i in brackets make italics. You can block off the words you want to change and choose red, green, or whatever you like, but blue is reserved for moderators so it stands out when they say something important or figuratively slap someone’s hands for being insulting to another poster or use really bad profanity.

You’re getting the hang of it. Another way of doing smaller quotes is to block off the text you want to use, copy it (cntrl-c) then, in your message block type bracket quote bracket, hit cntrl-v to enter the text, then type bracket slash quote bracket. Like this to quote your last note:
...and this way?
You have to use the slash after you do a bracket anything to close that particular function.

Hope that helps.

I used edit to see what the problem was. The difficulty is that you typed {/quote} after your final question. That made it be included in the quote rather than outside it. I’m going to go down to your last post and move the slash quotes back up so you can see the difference.

or maybe this?
