Dumb Board Question

Icegoddess — Thu, 02 May 2019 16:42:52 GMT

When scrolling down the boards, what does it mean when a user's name is bold vs not bold?

That's a good question. I have noticed when a thread title is bolded (I haven't opened that thread) or not bolded (I've opened that thread) but never noticed that with the OP name.

Hahaha ... good job. You made me look. I had noticed that before but never really thought about it. Now I want to know why, too.

Yes on that.

As for the posters’ names, the new posters are not bolded, I believe. I don’t know how many posts they require to become bold though.

If I’m wrong, I’m sure someone will correct me!😉

Could it be the name that is not bold is a "newish" member?

I don't think so. In the pic I posted above @Cakers3, who is an Esteemed Contributor is one of the non-bolded names.

@ripka junkie

Yes, that’s right. But the OP was specifically asking about the posters’names only.

@Icegoddess

@Cakers3 name appears in bold to me.

@geezerette, when I looked at Community Chat board right now @Cakers3 was in bold. But, when I changed over to Forums @Cakers3 showed up as not bolded.

Hmmmm, mine does not show up like yours does, @Icegoddess . Cakers, for example, is bolded...yippee for @Cakers3. Ha!

When I click on the very few authors names that are NOT bolded, they are either new or occasional contributors. That's all I know about it...maybe a mod will clarify.

I think you're right. If you look at the Customer Care forum, I see a lot of OP names that are not bolded. And dare I say in that forum, seems to me some people create an account to post a complaint.

@Icegoddess ??? This indicates a mix of forums.

I see my name is not bolded, for shame.

I see Sunala is not bolded but that is a different forum.

I was only looking at this forum, Community Chat.

OK there goes that theory, because Sunny isn't a new poster.
