Maybe this can best be answered by an admin.

I notice that one level of memberships in named ' Advanced Membersship'.

Advance could be the opposite of ...... and well leads to the question, of is there a Retarded Membership " level???

"Unwanted member" is pretty close.

It is a physical thing. Advanced is about the angle/forward upward pointing of the member so you are doing good Gonzo. Don't know how UG made it though.

Newbie (0-20 posts), Senior (20-100 posts), Advanced (100-2000 posts), Platinum (> 2000 posts).

numbers are guesstimates, and I might have missed a level, but it might give you an idea of how it works.

Newbie 0-9

Member 10-29

Advanced Member 30-99

Senior Member 100-999

Super Member 1000-1999

Platinum Member 2000-4999

Titanium Member 5000-9999

Star Member 10000 +

Gosh , then I really feel bad for UG....

He really must be an unwanted member, cuz he missed the boat and was held back 5 promotions.

boo hoo

well, if that is the case then Gonzo should be listed as Platinum and Ulyses as Star. But somehow admin is not updating it.

The automatic levels are only changed once when the required numbers of posts are reached. After the first few levels members can set their own member description (this is how UG changed his to 'Unwanted Member,' apparently a self-description) and this supercedes the system's labels.

You're confusing member title/rank, directly below the avatar, with member groups. Many member groups - Advanced Members, Admin, Local Moderator, Global Moderator, Sponsors etc.

I think perhaps there is a misunderstanding between "groups" and the text under the avatar. I think the levels listed by Tyways and referred to by Ijustwannateach were the texts under the avatar, while Gonzo was referring to the Groups categories.

that can't be right as I have posted 2,700 and have yet to attain the lofty 'Platinum' tag
