Pamy, I thought you liked 'member's Admin, thank you for TVCH and all the work you've poured into it. Eggie's idea of time zones is a good one and I like it, too. My start date is way off so I would like it to be changed at some point.

You're right, if it's just going to be Member for everyone, why bother at all? Because I thought it was cool and has some potential for something. Time zones is the coolest idea so far, but it will require manually setting each user, which is an administrative nightmare. We're doing it with the Registration/Start Date because it's a cool feature too and everyone seems excited about it. We'll have to wait and see. Something I'd like to let brew for a little while, I hope you understand. You're welcome.

I really like the time zone thing but understand the work involved. This comes from someone who knows nothing about what it takes to do this now, but how about linking that spot to something in our profiles? So it comes across without having to personalize each? Like a smiley choice or a time zone choice, etc.

Admin, you did have an excellent and cool idea with giving us a member status. I'm sad that some feel they must abuse the posting so they can bump up in status. Your original idea for member status did indeed have potential and maybe with some down time, you can re-visit the idea. I understand about the time zone nightmare and I'm happy that you thought it was a cool idea! Go get some rest now...you deserve it!!

Is that only an administrative feature, or could we change it to reflect time zone in our profie? Then we just each do our own.

Thanks Admin, I know it was a long day for you. I honestly didn't think anyone was spamming, I think we were all just so excited and had been waiting all day for this. The board looks great, and honestly I am just happy to have this place, you could put 'big loser' under my name and I wouldn't care. THanks again!!

I love these changes, but I can understand why the status thing could become a problem. It does have the potential to encourage multiple vanity posts, as we've seen on other boards. The membership dates give us an idea of how long someone's been here, and that interests me more than frequency of posts anyway(not that either will influence whether or not I stop to read a post). The only other idea I can think of is to post birthdates(without the birth year) so we'll know at a glance when someone's birthday is coming up. Of course this would probably also be an administrative nightmare.

How about instead of time zones, have it say where we are from? Michigan Member, London UK Member, etc. But no Canadians!! Just Kidding. not really... ok, kidding.... because I don't want to get hate mail!

Well, the only problem with that, Carrie, is that some people do NOT want their identity revealed in any way, including any reference to the state in which they live.

I thought they had records of when we joined. I posted over on the games board and it said 2003. Which is a couple of years off.

Time zone works for me, but just in case..... as long as Pamy already has dibs on Big Loser, I want Head Angel.

I agree with Pamy, I don't think anyone was intentionally spamming. It was like Christmas morning opening your presents and wanting to play with the toys you received. Thanks for the new toy Santa!

Someone mentioned something about vanity posts, and you know what? That's just what has happened at another board I'm on (it's become something of a personal chat room for a couple of people). I don't, personally, care if anyone knows where I am (SAN DIEGO!!!) but I do see how managing that could be a major headache for our lovely admin folks. Maybe just keeping it to member, admin, and mod is sufficient?

Good point Ddr! If we end up not all staying memebers and we don't go with time zones, I'll be "#1 Angel keeping an eye on Pamy". How's that?

Vixeninvegas: Look in the thread Members Earliest? Posting Date - that lists the earliest post I could find for each person who's posts were in the archives on the board. I have this for you:

I love the time zone thing but realize it would be hard to implement. I would even go for city if people wanted it (and for sure Canadians included since ADMIN..the owner and founder of the board... is Canadian, Carrie

I've been out of town for a week and look what I come back to!!! Posting to see if I am recognized at all anymore... Edited to add...ahhhhhhh, at least I am still a member, lol. I have been here since BBI on the old BB Fan Club boards if that makes a difference (around July of 2000, I think???)
