    When I go to the members list there are stars. What are the stars for? I can see they're not for posts or anything. Some are white, some gold, some people have one some have 5. What are the stars there for?

    I've been wondering the same thing. I noticed that Alien has 5 gold stars.. I guess the more gold, the higher your rank?

    i think it shows what rank you are.. prober, grunt etc...

    appears to be that the admin(alien) gets 5 stars...
    us mods get 4 gold ones...

    You know, I can't exactly remember. .

    My current *theory* is that 5 are for admin, 4 are for moderators, 2 are for full members (more than 25 posts), 1 is for junior members?

    Think I'm close? Anyone catch someone with 3? .

    Actually, before I got bumped to moderator, I only had 3. Now, it's up to 4.

    Just my opinion here, but isn't this a redundant feature? Instead of having stars, wouldn't it just be simpler to have a Moderator label next to the moderators? If it's just showing that one group is an Admin, one group's a Moderator, and everyone else is just a regular user, than what's the point, other than eye candy?

    And, as I said, some are silver and others are gold. Some have one silver star and others have one gold...

    It looks as if Alien has done a lot of work in ubb_library2.pl.. if you want me to figure it out then you can send me it .

    Alien, did you ever decide why you have different colored stars?

    The stars are just part of the memberlist hack.
    It is quite simple to change it to the icons Alien uses for the user rankings in the forums... I think he is a little busy with the server move at the moment... I will have a word with him next time he is on.

    Yeah, I'm interested in switching those default 'star' images, to the 'Galaga' images that we currently use for ranks.. I just never customized that.

    I could perhaps use a hand, ukliam. .

    i think you should either give me another star or abolish the star system. having 2 all the time is depressing . maybe if they sparkled or something they'd be more interesting .

    Is it possible that you get 3 gold stars when you hit 500 posts provided you are not an overlord.
