Administrators & Moderators:
(1) This site has three or four thousand members. Some post a lot while some post a little. When you first register, you're given the title of "Member" and after a given number of posts, you are upgraded to "Senior Member". I was thinking (and being a computer programmer, I know that this is something that could be eaily modified) of having three membership levels:<OL TYPE=1>
<LI> Junior Member - Someone who is in the bottom 25% with regard to the number of posts.
<LI> Member - Someone who is in the between 25% - 75% with regard to the number of posts.
<LI> Senior Member - Someone who is in the top 25% with regard to the number of posts.</OL>
I like this approach because it uses the registered membership to set the level and not some artificial number where a person become a senior member after so many posts. Besides, I think that most members should be "Members" and not "Senior Members".
(2) Incorporate the following icons (or something similar) ...
- A Closed Trend
- An Open Trend
- A Trend that has been updated since a member's last visit so that it can easily be spotted (again, with computer software and cookies, this can easily be programmed).
These are just my thoughts and ideas for you to think about. Additionally, it would be nice if you enabled the "image" tag so that it could be used in the signature block. Thanks for listening.
