Title: Why does it say I'm a newbie?
Post by: phoenixsilverbird on January 20, 2014, 07:23:00 PM
I have 175 posts and I was a 'Member' a few hours ago.
Now my rank status on my profile is 'Newbie' yet I am not restricted to the newbie forum.

Why is this..?

Because you are a newbie and the forum software detected that you are a newbie :P

You fail to understand.
I am posting in this forum, which I would not be able to access if I was a newbie.
I don't know why my title has reset itself..?

Same to me. I was a member with two stars and now a newbie with one star. ???

This happens sometimes, theymos just needs to hit the bot a couple of times with a hammer and that usually sorts it out.

Yes, there was a change on membergroup and you now need 30 activity for Jr Member.
But, for OP and some other people, they have 42 activity but are still newbies because of a bug.

Please refer to the post made by theymos.

There's apparently a bug preventing Newbies from being promoted. I'll look into it when I have time. I don't think that there's any major disadvantage to being a Newbie now.

It's a new Advanced AI Algorithm that has scanned your posts and set your title accordingly :)

The newbie forum is back, but I miss it being required upon first coming here.

Because activity requirements changed recently and the levels changed,you should check the meta forum post by admin about the new changes and new requirements.
