Re: how to change that thing under the name
You cant mate,
its a rating based on the number of replies and comments you post,
it will improve with time and post numbers.
thats why the post whores are all rated 3.0 litre turbo thingy mabobs or whatever they are, just have a look at Welly's next time he is our resident post whore
EDIT: just realised Welly has lost that thingy mabob under his name now he is one of the "Godlike" admins, just have a scoot about some people are little engines and some big, im sure one of the mods will come along soon and explain it all properly

Post more shyte mate, it's a rank thingy, a bit like newbie -> interested -> enthusiast -> addict -> saddo -> post whore. It will increase as your post count increases.

Re: how to change that thing under the name
I got confused too at the start.
Started wondering why "1.8 8v" owners were asking about HDi specifics?
Then the penny dropped.

Re: how to change that thing under the name
It is a little confusing, it's the only forum I've seen like this too.
Elsewhere I'm a "veteran" (?) on the coupe club with 606 posts, and a "fan" on carpe tdm with 161. HJ doesn't have any rankings (don't go there much now anyway 'cos I'm sick of the "French cars are sh*t" brigade) and I don't seem to have posted anything on the French car forum or anywhere else I'm lurking.
Fresh meat, stubborn, addict, saddo, Billy-no-mates, post whore, blabbermouth

The Alfa forum had a cloverleaf symbol that went from blank to green to silver to gold. Something like that.
