Why am I red when everybody else is blue?

[lcm1947]

OK, I give up. I have looked high and low and can't find the answer and this is really bugging me so I'll break down and ask. Why are there different colored dots after our names and what do the colors mean. Oh yeah and how come I'm the only senior member around here anyway and does that have to do with my age or the amount of time I've been a member?

You have your status set to "invisible", ie you don't show up on the "currently active users" list.

blue/gray is offline
green is online
red is invisible (don't want others to see your status)


and the senior member status is linked to the number of posts you have.

0-99 = forum newbie
100-499 = established member
500-999 = senior member
1000-4999 = veteran member
5000+ = forum windbag

Oh so that's the deal. Great thanks for the reply.

I may be a newbie now, but god willing, someday I will become a forum windbag like so many.

I don't think windbag is anything to be proud of.
