Margo, I'm just curious. How do you see what kind of membership people have. I have often wondered
Norma, if you go to anyone's profile link (just click the link under the photo to the right of any comment on the forum) you can see how many star icons appear.
No stars beside their photo in the profile means that they are a basic member and don't pay the annual membership fee to be a STAR member.
I've never really paid much attention to the numbers in the stars, but if a member's first star shown has a "C" in it, that means that they are a charter member from 2007.
This is also how I can sometimes find out what a members real name is if the screen name doesn't give me a clue! Of course, there are some members who don't put it there either. I think they are incognito!
We've recently removed the Stars because they were used in the beginning when we sold Series instead of memberships, but are no longer used. Also, I'm going to discuss whether we should display a member's status such as Star or Basic. We'll make a decision over the next few weeks.
