I guess 50 is gold. It would be great though if it only counts "solutions" to posts and not questions... I feel like I don't deserve that Gold status since I have 95% questions and only 5% solutions. Big Grin

Absolutely!

However, if it were not for people like yourself that ask for assistance once you have exhausted looking through manuals and previous postings, there would not be a host of valuable information within this Forum from which others can learn.

There are a couple of exceptions such as when you know that the answer to a new question has been posed before, with several good answers, but the individual posing the question displays -

  • an obvious lack of research through the drastically improved search facilities
  • a distinct lack of training from their management (this is not the fault of the individual unless they do not press for training)
  • no details of platform and release on their signature (despite pleadings by various members!)
  • an obvious attempt to get their work done by someone else

Of course these are my thoughts alone (although I know that some are shared by others), are not exhaustive, and they do not necessarily represent the views of the Forum management.

So well done Anatess and like minded posters that DO reasearch, try and help themselves first and take the time to post progress and/or a resolution for their problem.

IHF

The first criteria to make you gold is fill in your personal signature....

And that was exactly my point... pretty soon, uh, in like 10 years... I'll be a virtuoso... with 995 questions and 5 proposed solutions. And everybody would think I'm at the same level as Tony, Francis, or Susannah, who, by the way, I'm still thinking needs IBI retainer fees...

It's not your status that matters but more the valuable solutions/discussions you bring into the forum.
On the flip side, with or without their status as Virtuoso everyone knows that Tony, Francis & Susannah rock!
