Haydock Hunters Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 I recently posted a question about D/T on my stats page, And I got the answer to my question (thaks to all who helped) But now I've got another.....underneath my name on the question and answer page I see I have become A tadpole! I was just wondering if it is some kind of rating system? Thanks for any help you can offer me.

I was just wondering if it is some kind of rating system? Thanks for any help you can offer me. As I understand it, when you have made a minimum number of post the Tadpole lable goes away. I do not kow how many. And I may not have this 100% correct. Edited February 7, 2006 by JohnnyVegas
+PeachyPA Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 I believe the number of posts has to reach ten before Tadpole changes to Member.
+Beffums Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 I think Peachy PA is right - it's 10 (unless you are a premium member). You are a tadpole in honor of Signal, our mascot (baby frog = tadpole... you get the idea)
+Airmapper Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Why can't we all be frogs then after 10 posts? Cricket frog= 10-50 posts Tree-frog= 51- 99 posts Pickerel frog= 100-500 Leopard frog = 501- 1,000 Cuban Tree-frog = 1,001 - 1,999 Bullfrog over 2,000 posts Edited February 7, 2006 by Airmapper

+Airmapper Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Can Briansnat (16,464 posts to date) be a Goliath frog (Conraua goliath)? Sure, why not. He already thinks he's a gold member.

smacktight Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Still just a Tadpole, must post! Number 6. Seems like a good place to make a simple post and increase my status. The link posted by Prime Suspect says it all. Good Luck and Good Posting!

+echo4lima Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I think Peachy PA is right - it's 10 (unless you are a premium member). You are a tadpole in honor of Signal, our mascot (baby frog = tadpole... you get the idea) I beg to differ about this, I am a tadpole apparently, a relatively new cacher (found 47, hidden 4 with 2 waiting approval since I started mid-Jan 06) AND a Premium Member, yet my lable is tadpole, so it must be based on posts alone. I don't really care as I am a lurker and reader more so than a poster, I am not by far even close to being able to disperse information but a newbie learning, and like to research my questions before posting. Post counts in my experience mean nothing, it's what and how you share that makes it worth anything!! From a lowly tadpole!!

On my profile page or account page, where it says Forums Title, it says Permium Member, but on here it still says Tadpole!

+Markwell Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Not 10 posts yet. Try posting in the "Testing, Testing" thread at the top of the Getting Started forum. Make 10 quick posts there, and you'll grow some legs....

compost93 Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 The downside of a lurker is the knowledge that you're a tadpole. Mmmmmmmmm.... time to come out of hiding.

LOL I suspect that your problem lies with the fact that your profile parameters -- now that you have updated them on the geocaching.com profile page -- need to be updated on the forum. If I remember correctly, the way to do this is to close any browser windows which are open on the forum, and then open a browser window and log into the main geocaching.com site (not the forum). After logging in, click on "Forums" in the left-hand column -- that should force the server to update your profile info in the forum area. This will probably do it!
+Super_Nate Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Hey compost93, only three more posts to go.....you can do it!!!!
+Jeep_Dog Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I rather miss my tadpole days. Oh, sorrow, the lost innocence of the days when I thought "oh, it is just a newly placed geocache, no need to rush out and log it..."
+Markwell Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Again - let's not turn this into a shout-out where people bump up their post numbers to grow green legs. If you want to post 10 times so you're not a tadpole, test your avatar in the Testing thread with the 6500+ other posts.
