Why have we got Senior and Junior under our names?Does this mean that some of us are older than others or more experinced in the IBS department?

Just wondering.------------------Pink

No, age has nothing to do with it. It has to do with how long you have been a member of the board. It took me a while to figure this out too.

Many thanks Caca.....At least on this forum I can stay Junior for a while longer

It's the number of posts you've made. I became a senior member in about a week, I think, because I posted several times to a couple of threads.. I think the magic number is either 15 or 20. I am a member of another board that uses the same software, and since I don't post very often, I'm still a junior member, despite being a member since November or December.I wondered about that at first too! I couldn't believe I became a "senior member" so quickly. If you click on the symbol above the posting, on the left, with I think a question mark and a face, you can get more info about the person who posted, including how many times they've posted and when they joined the board. That can give you a better idea of how long someone has been around, if you're curious.

If you want a post to go up to the top, reply to the post.

I think it is actually 30 posts and you move into the ranks of 'senior' contributor. Little point whether the person is 'junior' or 'senior' doesn't really say anything about the points they make or the advice offered. I was a senior contributor on the 'old' Parkview Publishing Board, left for a while, then registered here with new email and penname.

Nina your right, its 30 so I have just found out. Now I am a senior and I feel my age again *laugh*.But like you said it doesn't matter whether we are senior or junior we all have advice and we all share the same thing.I like this forum....have I said that before
