    Membership Status / Administrative Contact Information

    Just curious as to general administrative contact information. I have had a couple issues with my backend settings (specifically receiving updates as to new comments, and my timestamps on posts just being totally off).
    Frankly, I just don't know who to contact for this.

    Also, regarding membership status levels, I was curious if this was based on how many posts you've made, or what exactly. Just wondering.

    Thanks.

    OK, have some time. Baby is sleeping LOL.

    As for the ranks, they are based on posts. They are the default Vbulletin settings. I haven't gotten around to changing them. Any ideas for rank names, and posts to achieve these ranks would be awesome

    As for your backend issues. Honestly I have no idea what is causing that. What are all the issues that you are having? I will try and look into them the best I can.

    Notes

    Hmm... I suppose something to the extent of:
    Engineer
    Staff Engineer
    Senior Engineer
    Principal Engineer
    Chief Engineer

    In regards to the backend, a member level doesn't change for previous posts once it reaches the "x" point.
    See following image:

    Two posts. One changed, but the previous didn't. Odd.

    Also, on the back end, I had to manually select that I wanted to subscribe to posts when commenting. To me, that should be set as a default. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't receiving a notification in my email when something new was happening to a thread.

    Last, the timecodes on my posts were off. Typically there is a setting in the back end for the user to select their own location or time zone, though I didn't see this on VBoard's. Hmm....

    Yeah, just doing a quick test right now. My local time is 3:57 PM, and the timestamp for my post is 10:57PM.
    There needs to be a region preference setting somewhere in the back end. Maybe I just didn't see it.

    Timestamp for your post shows as 6:57 PM for me over in Eastern...


    //EDIT: Time right now is 11:28 PM and the timestamp shows as 11:27 PM, so mine is fine...

    OK, there is another thread about this. I'll post your suggestions.

    In regards to the backend, a member level doesn't change for previous posts once it reaches the "x" point.

    Odd I agree. It might be something that needs to update when the counters on the site update daily.

    Also, on the back end, I had to manually select that I wanted to subscribe to posts when commenting. To me, that should be set as a default. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't receiving a notification in my email when something new was happening to a thread.
    I've changed it so that you get notifications of PMs. However, I don't know if we should make it send email notifications for subscribed threads or not. Might get annoying to some. What do you guys think?
