you gain rank by the number of posts you do.

For starters... Read the FAQ!Read about custom rank title changesFAQ wrote: » Why is a title like hobbit, dwarf, elf, etc. under my name?
This is your rank, based on the number of posts you have. The gold bars are associated with this rank. The only way you can increase your rank is by posting more (but we ask that you NOT post threads just to move up in the ranks). The ranks are as follows:
Movie Extra (1-25 posts)
Hobbit (25-50)
Dwarf (50-100)
Rider of Rohan (100-200)
Gondorian (200-400)
Dunadan (400-600)
Ent (600-800)
Half-elf (800-1000)
Elf (1000-1500)
Ringwraith (1500-2000)
Istari (2000-3000)
Balrog (3000-4000)
Maia (4000-5500)
Vala (5500-7000)
Tolkien Scholar (7000-9000)
Choose your own rank title! (9000+)
» How do I change my rank?
In general you cannot directly change the wording of any rank (ranks appear below your username in topics and on your profile depending on the style used). For example, moderators and administrators have a special rank. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank -- you will probably find the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count. _________________

Hey, I'm gonna move the topic to Dwimorberg (Suggestions and Comments), which is the board for general questions about your account and the forum. Just post in this thread or PM me if you have any other questions.  ~Eä _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

Depends how long it takes you to reach 9000. Which is a very very long time.

I've been a member since 2005, and while I've not been active all this time, you can see I'm not even close to Custom Rank. So you'll just have to be patient.

But hey, you're already a Hobbit now! Actually, I thought it was pretty exciting to see my rank change while I moved up the ranks. But when I finally got to 9000 I had stopped paying attention and it was... just another day!  I think it took me... 3-4 years to get to 9000 posts but I also had times where I wasn't very active. _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

I wonder how many posts I would have if I had joined when I first found A-U (2004 or something..) Actually, probably around the same because internet forums are banned by my mother but when I got my own laptop in 2007 I ignored the rule.. Now I'm nearly 20 so she can't try to stop me anymore  _________________

I just realized it but it would be nice if you could see how many posts you are from the next rank on your profile...

We're happy you're here! I'm not sure whether the board supports that feature .. but I'm sure someone else will come by to answer that. And one last thing. Instead of posting again right after your own post you may want to Edit it. You will find the Edit button in the bottom right corner of every post you make. Click it and you are able to add to or change your posts anytime you want. What you do now is double-posting and we're not too happy about that because too much of it may be flooding a thread.  Also, next to the Edit button is a Quote button you may use if you want to qoute another post (your own or others) and don't want to write it all up again! _________________ >>Be the change you wish to see in the world<<

That helps A LOT! I'll use that now for most of my posts, thank you!
You moderators are very helpful! BD

Helpful A-Uers are very helpful  There's actually a modification we can install that shows your progress toward the next available rank! You can check it out at http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/mod/u ... ession_bar (look at the screenshots - you can see that if we installed this, there would be a progress bar underneath your avatar showing how close you are). Is that something anyone/everyone is interested in? _________________
