Red line bordering my posts and a couple of others

Most of the ATS pages wont load for me they take me to a blank page but i was able to get into this one to post ..I've tryed everything to get the pages to appear but they wont.. Im not even sure this thread will post..

Will you have a special distinction like this for disinfo agents, trolls, and hoaxers?

Make that one brown, with Brown level contributor (certified BS specialist)

Your posts now have a subtle but noticeable indicator for those who have achieve a high-level of member-recognition on ATS.

Those 50 members who have achieved the "Way Above Top Secret" status are now indicated as "GOLD CONTRIBUTORS" in their posts (which will soon also show for non-logged-in guests).

Members in the top-100 rankings, just below the "Way Above Top Secret" group, have a "SILVER CONTRIBUTOR" indication.

This is VERY cool!

I've noticed some delay in loading pages(where gold and silver members have posted). But it now appears to be normal again.

So I'm guessing the definitions are a bit different than they used to be.

Is the system all comparative vs other members now?

Here's an unexpected result: I just spent considerable time editing my profile (the 'my favorite stuff' part) and after editing..there was no way to save it. No submit button. So I hit 'edit' again, and it wiped out all my edits.

cant be that bad.... can it?

I am now reminded that I am just NOT GOOD enough for the top 50, but also better than the newbs below 100...

Kidding guys... please dont hurt me!

Well, this is interesting - I wonder if the bar goes away if you drop out of the top 100? Lol...

This is interesting.. You still have the silver border, but no Silver Contributor header.. Wonder how that works.

ETA: Nevermind... header is back now....

reply to post by rogerstigers


You have to take out the post ID to see your own silver bar.

instead of this: www.abovetopsecret.com...

you use this: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Scroll down and you see the silver/gold borders with all the trimmings.

see the difference... if you can? I couldn't see mine and I did this then it came back.

Gold gives me a rash... thank god I'm silver!

I love it when a plan comes together!

Edit to Add:

Hey where did it go? I have the border but the rest has gone missing up the top... Including my NAME!

Heheh!

DItto.. thanks for the reminder that Im a loser. Hey No one cared about medication shortages, survival/camping/canning recipes and weaponized smallpox.. what can I say? Perhaps I should move on to alien invasions, zombie prophecies, and CHEMTRAILS!!

So what is the official number requirements for each? Is bronze still in play?
Oh now you have my ego all excited!

spec

My only complaint is that basing a system solely on flags leaves a lot of good contributors out of the mix. Myself NOT included. Many posters have a huge star to post rating, showing their posts are valued, but opt not to start threads, therefore receive no flags. I would hate to see these posters now be passed by. Especially since we already have a problem with members not reading an ENTIRE thread prior to posting.

I'd love to have dinner with both of you and discuss stuff, ya know?

I noticed in another thread that all my posts in that thread have the gold outline except the last post in the thread... That one just had a gold line on each side. I'm wondering if this one will appear the same...

Testing... Edit. Yeah, the "Gold Contributer" line isn't there on the last post in the thread.. it seems.

Now... someone post after me to see if it changes.

Yeah....silver's better anyday.

The downside is standing out on the threads like a pimp at a chess convention.

You goldies and silvers are superstars. Thanks for all you do. Guess I am just a newb (I prefer that over NOOB) that has less than 100 posts... booooooo. And I am going to second the guy that said, "watch out cause now you are easier to identify" I will be reading your replies/threads before some others, keep you on your toes.
