    Question

    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.

    John

    I think you should get a special symbol next to your name if you have more posts than john.
    If it wasn't for this sentence I wouldn't have a signature at all.

    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:
    Code:
        Dim x As Long
        x = 2000 * 365   ' Error: Overflow
    To work around this situation, type the number, like this:
    Code:
        Dim x As Long
        x = CLng(2000) * 365
    For additional information, select the item in question and press F1.

    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.

    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

    Long time no see

    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!

    Still use Basic though

    http://www.powerbasic.com

    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

    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

    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. 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.

    ******s

    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
