Newbie = 0 - 29 posts
Member => 30 posts
Regular => 100 posts
6502 => 500 posts
65816 => 1000 posts
65832 => 1500 posts
68000 => 1505 posts
68010 => 2000 posts
68020 => 2005 posts
68030 => 2500 posts
etc....
 
I thought I was seeing things before when I noticed avatars could be 100x100 and then today I decided to make a nice 100x100 and get a message that it had to be 75x75.

Maybe this is a typo, but why is there only a 5 post difference between 65832 and 68000??

And what is the significance of the arbitrary numbers? I feel like I should know this one....
 
It might simply be arbitrary cutoffs chosen by arn, but there's a theory that the time you spend at a particular processor level is related to how long that processor was used by Apple. Maybe somebody will volunteer to check this theory against the facts.

Yea I made that mention. The 100x100 tar lasted for all of about 30 minutes. It was suppose to be 75x75 from the beginning of this update but there was a problem that Arn fixed and when he did something happened and we were allowed 100x100 for a very short while until he fixed the fix.
 
I am at 500 posts after almost 4 months of use. I cannot add an avatar though. there is no option to upload. what do I need to do?

Try logging out and logging back in -- maybe that will help the panel recognize the change in your status.
 
one thing I have noticed since I passed 500 posts is that my signature has a buch of empty space below it. can I get rid of that?

just realized its because of the avatar taking up more room

Good ole 68030 my very first computer processor, To bad the computer barely works now without crashing repeatedly.
 
how the hell can i upload an avatar? i just get a screen like the one at the top. a box saying 'no avatar selected' and a svae changes and reset button. help please!
 
Uploading an avatar won't work until you've made at least 500 posts. Those are the forum rules. The avatars let people recognize members who have been here a while.

If you choose to keep the Demi-God title, you will not have a processor ranking. You can ask to have the DG removed and the processor rank displayed if you wish. PM an admin or god.

If you do that; you will not get an ad-free front page.
