Yeah, the points you see next to your name are strictly connected to your activity level on the forum. I don't know if anyone has ever figured out how they work. Geek

Too bad they aren't related to our story. I'd have almost 4,000 points! LOL!

They are - you get points for each interaction (posts, comments, if people have "thanked" you for something. It just indicates how active you are on here. You'll see descriptions too, like Newbie, Regular, Addict, and Black Belt. Again, just represents your level of activity on the forums.

And now I am going to thank you both for your post and give you each another point. :)

I just hit Black Belt this morning with 1500 points, if that's any indication!

I always think that the points show how much people love me.

I need lots of affirmation.
This is not the signature you are looking for.
