I figured out the stars

Hobbes

It's a rating system. Correct? So why can't we rate people?

LegacyUser

Hobbes Ill Give u a 10. Also yeah It would be a good idea!

MiCr0

maybe its to do with the frequency of posting's

Kali

and why doesnt the extra information about moderators accesible via the team page show up in the normal profile? thatd be nice.

Well it's a bit like learning how a magic trick works!

if ($ThisStatus eq "Administrator") {
$ThisStatus = "Administrator<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin1.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin3.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin4.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin5.gif\">
<br>";
}
elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
$ThisStatus = "Moderator<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\">
<br>";
}
else {
$ThisStatus = "Newbie<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star3.gif\">
<br>";
if ($thisprofile[7] > 4) {
$ThisStatus = "Cool Newbie<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star4.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star4.gif\">
<br>";
}
if ($thisprofile[7] > 49) {
$ThisStatus = "Fast Newbie<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star5.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star5.gif\">
<br>";
}
if ($thisprofile[7] > 99) {
$ThisStatus = "Crazy Poster<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star6.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star6.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star6.gif\">
<br>";
}
if ($thisprofile[7] > 249) {
$ThisStatus = "Insane Poster<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star7.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star7.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star7.gif\">
<br>";
}
if ($thisprofile[7] > 499) {
$ThisStatus = "Freak<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star8.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star8.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star8.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star8.gif\">
<br>";
}
if ($thisprofile[7] > 999) {
$ThisStatus = "No Life<img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\">
<br>";
}
}

So someone with "no life" gets 5 stars, but moderators get 4 stars. I was robbed.

I think moderators should get 4 stars but sparkly ones like the admins.

I even wrote the code for you

elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
$ThisStatus = "Moderator<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin1.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin3.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/Admin4.gif\">
<br>";
}

LOL

hehe. We no lifers rule!

I've some code here that might work:

elsif ($ThisStatus eq "Moderator") {
  $ThisStatus = "Moderator<br><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><img src=\"$NonCGIURL/star2.gif\"><br>";
  if ($thisprofile[0] eq "Hobbes") {
    $ThisStatus = "Demoted<br>";
  }
}

:P

jeeze hobbes I'm really let down that you didn't cop on sooner :-)

btw the starts really make it look like kindergarten :-) maybe change them to diffrent pips(their real name btw hobbes )

Hobbes

Well LK another UBB I visit they had something similar but you clicked on the persons name and then you could rate them 1-5 stars and it would display stars based on thier average. Kind of a cool idea.

All these 'pips' do is add to the load time.

Stephen

Not really hobbes... each star image is about 200 bytes - and since most of them are the same image repeated over and over it won't add to load time further than the milliseconds 200 bytes takes because they get cached.

Hobbes

*shhh!*

spod

they don't add to the download time, but they do add to the page rendering time :P

Lord Khan

Hobbes that's user rating a hack which I don't particular like since is purely personal and had it installed on an old board before and people kept complaining cause some people were getting people to give them a low rating.

there another hack called the karma hack which has ratings -5 to 5 and is set by the admins ... which displays various pics depending on the rating.

Stepehen ... nah I'll let hobbes tell you the speed of his connection ... I doubt if they were 200k they'd make too big a dent on his d/l time

Lord Khan

Hmmmm just me or is this getting wider?

course it's cloud's fault anyway :-)

although it cell wrap was on that shouldn't have happened?

Stephen

Weird

Stephen

I know, he's a cable wh0re

Lord Khan

yeah ... cause I looked back for a long wrod and didn't see any ... cloud posted a cloud ... but there were spaces in that ... and wrap if it was on(which it is by default) would have pushed them to the next line
