Did you track all your posts, or does something show how many posts you have made?

Hey Don,

I just put the cursor over the medals and it tells me how many posts.  Give that a try.  Not sure if different OS's would make a difference or not.  Hope it works for you.  Right now yours says 4577!!!!!!!

Hey, Devil Dawg, congrats on the 1000 mark !!  Would you have hit the 1000th earlier if it was not for the glitch or something that subtracted some from our counts a few months back? I know that my count went from slightly under 400 posts to 250 at that time. No biggie but mildly disappointing.

Bill, I think on that occasion it was fixed and the missing post's were credited back. There was an occasion a few years back when a few post's were deleted and our post's count went down a bit, but as you say, no biggie.

No biggie says the guy with 9348 posts.  Ha-ha... just kidding Bish.  If even a quarter of them are as helpful as the hundred or so I've seen, you've earned those 5 bronze stars!

Tojo, you don't know how bad I want to get home and work on a kit! Right now, I'm in Macon, GA, for work, and was in Augusta, GA, yesterday and today, as well. Just got home from Georgia this past Sunday after attending my youngest son's wedding, then was back on the road starting Tuesday morning. I've already put 700 miles on the company car since yesterday....... Haven't been able to touch a kit in quite a while now due to work commitments that keep me on the road. Thanks for the compliment!

You know, Don, I didn't really pay attention to them until just a few months ago, and noticed that I was closing in on the 1,000 mark. And I just happened to notice that when I ran my cursor over the medals, it showed my postings count. 

Anyone know how many posts it takes to change the medals from dark gray/black to bronze?

Thanks, Bill! I didn't know about the glitch. If I lost any, I never knew it. I just started paying attention to the postings count recently.

Anyone know how many posts it takes to change the medals from dark gray/black to bronze?

At 3000 they turn orange. So in 16 years you could have orange stars below your screen name!

 

mmhhh, maybe I should spend  more time offline, take a hobby, like building model aircraft...

Heh heh! You're probably right....... Sixteen more years.......I think I've got enough kits in the stash to last that long.
