Joe, I've been trying to change my user status without success. The FAQ says to 'change custom user text' on the Edit Profile page, but I can see no such field on that page.

Help?

Ahh, i left something out of the FAQ :) You must have a min of 100 posts, and be a registered member for 30 days... Looks like your going to have to wait another 5 days, i'll edit the FAQ on this ASAP.

BTW, what do you all think about this policy? Is 30 days too long, is 100 posts too much? Feedback welcome ;)

100 + 30 is fine by me... Although already being a senior member after only 50 posts makes me feel kind of old :D

I think 30 days is a little long. Cuz some people, like Allister, join and post 100 very quickly.

Thanks Joe, that explains it. I was aware of the 100 post minimum, which was why I was trying to edit it, but not of the time limit.

I can wait.

Of course, it took me several months to get my 100th post! (strange, but true!) I didn't have to worry about that problem.
