My Glorious Member Number...

[Droid101]

I demand my glorious member number 183 be reinstated. I was so... so... good...

Oh, so it sucks to be you now, huh?

I don't think vBulletin will display member numbers. I'm not entirely sure about that though.

I don't think vBulletin will display member numbers. I'm not entirely sure about that though.

Only with a bit of searching... to find 'em, hover over the 'Profile' button for someone, it's the last several numbers...

The last part of the URL for your profile is your member number. For example, the link for Jarval's profile is http://www.enworld.org/messageboards/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=421. The 421 at the end is his member numbers.

So while the member number is not displayed prominently, it is still there.

And myself, I like the new boards . I got a below 200 member number, yay!

Ooooo...

I got under a thousand, I'm happy!

Oh well... them's the breaks.

Of course I could be saying that just because I went from the 6000s down to the 500s number wise.

To get your member number:

1. First, open up a graphics editing program
2. Create a blank graphic with a size of 64x64
3. Using a dark background and a relatively light forground, open the TEXT tool.
4. Use ARIAL font at about 8pt
5. Left justify the text in the graphic image and type in "User Number 999" -- replace the 999 with the desired user number.
6. Set the background color to transparent.
7. Save the graphic as a GIF file
8. upload the graphic as your Avatar.
9. Voila! Instant user number!

Oh, who cares about user number now?

It only really matters with cutoff points.

Like right now, if there are, say, 5000 regular board members and we're all migrating over to this new board now, then that means everyone with a number between 1 and 5000 is equally old, as far as this board is concerned.

Then from now on, your user number above 5000 indicates when you joined. Like maybe the 5100-5200 are those who joined in February of 2002. 6000+ means you joined 2003, etc.

So all numbers below 5000 are actually identical, so who cares which one you get?
