Very Interesting I used to be a Trusted Member then I became a Regular Member and now I am a Blank Member .... any reason for this change in status ?????
Discourse software determines your member status based on posting frequency over a rather short amount of time.
If a member posts infrequently during a given week or month; it auto-demotes you.
I dislike that method, as well.

I think a lot of us either don't know or don't care what our "status" is. @Frog, you were quite helpful to me on the forum back when I was starting out and the fact your posts are a bit less frequent now doesn't diminish your value (status) in any way to those of us who know and remember.

Thanks wesoliv429 .... that link explains it all along with what each level can do on the board and which privileges it has and also if the status can be changed ..... very interesting ....
Thanks to all the folks who answered my post above just so you know when my trust level reaches 0 I will not be able to do these functions on the board any longer .....
Users at trust level 0 cannot …
** Send personal messages to other users*
** “Reply as new topic” via Link button (UI removed)*
** Flag posts*
** Post more than 1 image*
** Post any attachments*
** Post more than 2 hyperlinks in a post*
** Have actual links in the ‘about me’ field of their profile (will be silently and temporarily converted to plain text)*
** Mention more than 2 users in a post*
** Post more than 3 topics*
** Post more than 10 replies*
** Edit their own posts after more than 24 hours*
Admins can change these limitations by searching for newuser and first_day in site settings.
So it looks like you will be spared my posting more than one image per post .... post attachments .... or post more than 3 topics ..... actually this may just be a blessing in disguise .... LOL

Thanks for the kind reply NickS .... long time no see ....
It's not the title I'm concerned about it is the changes that you can no longer do on the board which I believe after 4 + years one should still deserve .... especially after visiting the board and reading some posts almost every single day with the exception of when I left the board for a extended vacation to gather back my sanity .... LOL

As far as I can tell the list you made in the post previous to this one I'm replying to does not apply to you. From my understanding on reading the "Discourse" page that list of restrictions applies to new users only which is not you. You still have ALL basic forum functions which you received 4 years ago after your new user probation expired.

Thank you for that information .... instead of speculating I should probably just wait until something happens ....
