Last call for opinions...members titles

[John]

Here is the final suggestion from Kedaman, adapted a bit:

- new member 0-16
- junior member 17-32
- member 33-64
- lively member 65-128
- addicted member 129-256
- hyperactive member 257-512
- fanatic member 513-1024
- guru 1024-4096
- ?Wait and see? 4097+

I'll be putting that on in the next few days.

I think you should get a special symbol next to your name if you have more posts than john.

OVERFLOW

Shouldn't it be
0-15 or 1-16

This is a programming forum after all, come on guys...


Overflow (Error 6)

An overflow results when you try to make an assignment that exceeds the limitations of the target of the assignment. This error has the following causes and solutions:

The result of an assignment, calculation, or data type conversion is too large to be represented within the range of values allowed for that type ofvariable.
Assign the value to a variable of a type that can hold a larger range of values.

An assignment to aproperty exceeds the maximum value the property can accept.
Make sure your assignment fits the range for the property to which it is made.

You attempt to use a number in a calculation, and that number is coerced into an integer, but the result is larger than an integer. For example:

Dim x As Long
x = 2000 * 365 ' Error: Overflow

To work around this situation, type the number, like this:

Dim x As Long
x = CLng(2000) * 365

Write it in your sig (Great idea, not mine though unfortunately) lot of posts and answers are version specific, (eg split() ) If everyone writes the version(s) they use in their sig more relavence will be conveyed.

Pass it around.

I like the Guru status.. I hope to get there eventually LOL :)

[parksie]

Wow, this is REALLY dredging it up.....


You've gone back to the early days and when John created VB-Forums in 6 days....or maybe a few months more :p

[Paul282]

hi Parksie!

It's funny that I remember this thread too! I get an email saying it was updated, feels like a reunion.

Don't even use VB anymore!

[parksie]

I don't use VB either, I graduated onto C++ :D

You still in Japan? :)

Since I found it (and bought it) I haven't touched VB except since to port code.

It's not for everyone, it's not OO based. It's like ANSI C. with all the pointers, Inline ASM and unions built in.

Very fast, small standalone exe's. And the sytax is still basic which is what I'm used to

[NotLKH]

I'd like to see the pattern be consistent, instead of breaking
off in the range 1025-4096.

Perhaps -Master 1025-2048 {or -Champion Member, Exalted Member, Mighty Member?}
AND THEN -Guru 2049-4096

:)
-Lou

[sail3005]

i agree, there is too big of a gap between 1024 and 4096

[Dillinger4]

Sounds good but it seems like the gap is too big.(Guru 1024-4096). How about having guru starting at 4000-5000 then other stats for 5000- 6000, 7000-8000 and so on. :D Also no offence but guru at 1024? I think is should be a little higher than that. Actually above 4000 or 5000. There are people who have posts in the 3000 to 4000 range that still ask stupid questions which a guru should honestly know.

[Beacon]

You do realise this is over 2 years old Lou, Sail and Dill??
:)

[Beacon]

Dill who???

[NotLKH]

Yes, I do!


But really, that non-power of 2 jump IS irritating!

[Paul282]

Programmers talking about how much they have to crap on on a forum to get called a "guru"

I feel sorry for the professional VB programmers who have to live with a bad name, no wonder no one takes you guys seriously...

"Show us ya run time lib" etc

<sigh>

very sad, even as "a bit of fun" it's sad

[Dillinger4]

Paul282 what are you blabbing about. :confused:
