How about an explanation of the "thingys" within the forums -
red dots after a name - green dots after a name -various colored blocks under the names...
I'm sure they are other "thingys" I have not yet encountered....
Then again - it does not take a lot to either entertain or confuse me.

Dennis,
Good question. The red/green dot next to your username shows other users if you are currently online or not (green = yes, red = no).
Our forum uses a ranking system based on teh number of posts a user makes. The yellow squares indicate your rank on the forum based on your contributions.

Thats funny. I didn't put a ton of thought into the rank names. I think it was like 2:00am and I'm staring at the forum setup screen to set things up and this is all I could come up with.
Completely open to more ideas on rank names. Although I do like "newbie" and "not a newbie"

Rank and Status -
Almost reminds me of the Old Guard Walley Bangers Caravanishing Club Officer Ascension hierarchy.
OK with me....
....but I DO want my qualifications listed - check out my signature for steps I've executed in my ambition toward completing attainment of the coveted "Not A Newbie" social class.
Does anyone have a "tongue in cheek" emoticon which Steven could add to the list?

| I'm not sure you're qualified for a black water dump yet. You have that fancy push button thingy on your rig...hardly a "true" black water dump ;) |

re my "fancy pushbutton thingy"....
Oh, Steven, the tales I could tell -
The Jabsco macerator pump on the sewerage discharge is currently plugged up with things I shudder to describe....
Before I figured out the pump was inop I blew several fuses - fuses which required me being totally under the MoHo to change - too close to the sh!tter dump for sanitary and olfactory comfort.
Good point for anyone doing a mod on their MoHo's - ALWAYS make the electricals - especially the fuses - easily accessible.
Long story short - with a full tank of "black stuff" and the requirement to dump by using only hoses and connectors at least 10 years old I was reminded a multitude of times how much leaking, spraying, and douching can occur with only two feet of head.
The ensuing events could best be accurately described as a learning experience akin to that of actor Robin Williams in his (in)famous scenes involving dumping the black water of his rental slab side in the movie "RV".
I was not a happy person.

I loved that movie! That was a pretty good scene. Not that far fetched when ya think about it too.
Dunno how may time I've seen a crowd draw.
