Question Curious question....

In "Current Users" the Forum Leaders are shown in blue but occasionally a member is shown in red..........What does this indicate?

I've often wondered about this....
I think it's because those members are dangerous, subversive, communist sleeper-cell members...

or they could be "new labour" (no that should be stars and stripes - blue, red and white) or "in labour"....

if you roll your cursor over the name it shows a number at the bottom of your screen, (at least it does on mine). it seems like the names in red are in the first 100, (so far) members of indiamike.com. maybe i'm wrong, but it appears this way.

I like red and wanted to change the color, so I asked India Mike how to change it. Don't know if I deserve to be a "megaposter" however....

It's a setting in your user profile somewhere Lanismac, it's under "group memberships."

Talking Work in university

Ready do you work for a university with well funded research money. Nothing new about research going down the drain.

Reminds me of the University of Chicago that did a research project (published last month) in which they found that men are more attracted to good looking women than not-so good looking women. Now we have impirical proof and after spending lots of money.

Thank you Machadinha...I'll check it out! I think quite a few IMers wanted to know the answer. At least we now know that they aren't the angry, subversive and dangerous people we thought they were

Send a message via Yahoo to sudheer poppa
For members who cross 500 post, a automated title is given (similar to senior member after 100 posts) and can choose to also have the name shown in red.

Hope that is the simple answer you were looking for
