I see on the Forum, some people are "Newbies"
I am a "rising star" (someone tell my wife!)
Others are "Forum Gurus"

Just out of curiosity how are the names allocated? Is it done by the system or does an administrator decide?

They are assigned automatically based on the number of posts - I'm not sure exactly what rules are set up, I expect it's a default ruleset.

It can be completely customised, so if anyone has better ideas for names, let me know.

I did have this tunred off, but turned it on following requests.

I dont think the names matter much or even if we have them or not. What matters more is the content of the posts or at least it should. Sometimes I wonder!
