Just wondering, what do the number of single bricks right under our names signify? For example, I currently have 2 bricks, and stephen_rockefeller has 4 I believe. Many other people have 1. What do they mean?

maybe it your level i don't if a higher level does anything

I'm not sure what they entail either. I know they change when you have made a certain number of posts. They remind me of experience points in a RPG.

I think it means that you've hit 250 posts.

The small yellowish Gold Bricks go along with the Levels under your name. Once you reach a predetermined threshold based on post count your level will go up along with an additional brick.

I have a question, what are levels and how do you increase your own?

You go up once you get up to a determined level of posts. I know level 2 is at 250 posts, the rest I'm not sure.

Ok. Thank you. :)

I have a question, what are levels and how do you increase your own?

250 = LEVEL 2

500 = LEVEL 3

1500 = LEVEL 4

2500 = LEVEL 5? No one has gotten to level 5 yet. I am pretty sure I am right about the first 4, but not 100% sure.

This was also discussed in another thread.

Your question was also brought up in this thread too.

Here's the lowdown on the 'Gold Bricks'.

Level 2: 250 posts

Level 3: 500 posts

Level 4: 1,000 posts

Level 5: ?

I've no idea if there even is a Level 5, but who knows. Even Ed is at Level 4.

Level 4 used to be 1,000. I was a level 4 and then went back to a level 3 so I think level 4 may be higher now. I'll be at 1,500 in a couple posts so I guess we'll see.

That's strange. I wonder why the change? Hmm....

Well you'll be back to level four in another post so no worries there!

Yeah I'm not really sure, but I guess it's good if the limits are moved up over time because eventually there will be tons of people over say 1,000 posts.

And I guess level 4 has more than a 1,500 post requirement......I'll let Ed and Jeff answer this one haha Edit: it's 1501 for level 4 lol

It actually shows up on the 1501. Same when I hit 250 it actually showed up on the 251st.

Yep I just noticed the same thing ;)

Long way to go... :/ I bet Ed just sits there laughing at us speculating about level upgrades. You might need 3,000 to reach level 5, if the general rule holds. If it goes like the 500 (level 3) 1,500 (level 4) you would need about 4,500 I think... "CURSE YOU AQUASCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You might be right about Level 5 being 3,000 posts. I guess we'll know when Ed, Stephen, or me get there. Only time will tell....

I don't even know. This is a template we use and we don't control everything on the forums. We are waiting for a newer version to be released with some more options so we can improve some issues.
