Talking of membership rankings...

Whoa! Sounds like a good article - "Tray App to Check Your CP Status Every 10 Minutes". :-D

Someone actually understands the ranking system? That's it - I gotta change it :P cheers, Chris Maunder

The system for updating rankings was offline for a couple of weeks. I rewrote it yesterday and fired it up. Nothing exploded so it passes QA. cheers, Chris Maunder

Now I do. I was "No status" until today so I couldn't figure it out. :-D

Not exactly sure how it works. I was a Bronze member with 640 or so messages and then all the sudden went to Silver. After about 10 more messages, I was a Gold Member. I didn't start posting messages until about this time last year, though I have been a member since 2004.

You are way off-topic for this thread.

I just decided to update my Bio to make a bit more sense for people rather than "Hmm....". Honestly it's for your benefit not mine :rolleyes: What you've got to understand is that you've been a Gold member sooo long that you've got nothing left to strive for (well, ok maybe Platinum) but with Gold status comes maturity and you'll now get more members who've reached Gold and now help out for the good of the community rather than also trying to up their ranking. God, what a lot of waffle :rolleyes:. I will say this though, I did want to become a Gold Member but always tried to provide useful comments etc rather than just waste server space and time. And the reason I noticed it [ranking] went up quickly was that I started to change the Biography in CP, when to post the change and got a blank page saying something like (pretty sure of this) "Service Unavailable". Nothing on the page, just a blank white page with "Service Unavailable" on it. I then went and had a bath (couldn't have my normal shower, and it was not easy with a dressing on covering some stitches :mad:) so a few hours later after doing a little bit of rat shooting in between I tried again and it resumed and I noticed that my ranking had gone up. There! A fairly decent excuse, although I do monitor it more than I should :-O. But now I have reached Austin Level I will slow down as I can't think of enough ideas to write another 24 articles, yet.

Damn, that's why there are no more explosions, you gotta let something fail once in a while, makes life more interesting. Maybe you could put in a (probably illegal) easteregg where the techs have to stop a reactor from melting down, if they fail the real thing melts down.
