    Thanks. There are a lot of bells & whistles in this software. Always feel free to ask if you need help. You can always send me a private conversation or use the Contact Us at the bottom of the board too.

    There isn't a dedicated app for the board, but Tapatalk works or,in my opinion, the mobile version of the board works really well.

    Tapatalk has some issues, but will work. There is talk of an app in the next version of the board software. I use my phone's browser and it works great.

    Q regarding "Likes": I can hover over post on this thread and "like", but nowhere else. Why would that be? Anything to do with me being a newbie?

    Maybe it's just me or this PC, or perhaps the server I'm on, but I could not log-in this morning using my user name...it did work when I used my email address instead.
    Just an FYI

    Sonya help...
    How do I change the description under my photo/name on the left. After 200 visits, I’m not a tourist. Thanks!

    If it works like most other forums of this nature, I believe the title under your name is a function of your "post count," not your "Trips to Las Vegas" count. When you reach a certain threshold in your post count, the title changes. For example, I started just yesterday so I was a "Newbie" until my 4th post. Now, I'm a "Tourist" as well. It looks like (from what I can see), you become a "VIP Whale" at 1000+ posts. Not sure about the other levels, though. I think some forums also allow you to customize that title at a certain post count or privilege level, if not at any time.

    Hope that helps.

    If you have earned the permission, you click on your username in the upper right of the board, then select Personal Details. Under the avatar area, it says "Custom User Title" and you can change it there.

    The permission is based on how many posts you have. I cant remember for sure, but I think it is either at 100 or 500 posts.

    Yes. New registrations are Newbies, they promote to "Tourist" after the first few posts. At 100 you become a "Low-Roller", then a "High-Roller" at 500 and a "VIP Whale" at 1000 posts.

    The user title does become customizable at some point, but I'd need to look it up. It is probably 100 posts, but maybe 500 if I was feeling less than generous when we set those up. :haha:

    Thank you...I had a feeling I needed so many posts before I could change it.

    I looked and it's 100 posts. So, you're more than halfway there. :)

    Well, not "never". You've made 5 posts in .. uh.. almost 8 years. :eek: You need to get more chatty, Lucinda. You're not going to get beyond "tourist" until 2220 at this rate. :haha: Or embrace your inner tourist and use VMB the way it works best for you. :blowkiss:
