When will my status change to member

[Anonymous]

Hello. I was just wondering when my status will change to member so I can post html. And what are the contributing factors I may need for the change?

I think it has something to do with number of posts and number of kudos given and number of kudos recieved. But honestly I do not know.

The system determines when you move up and none of us know the exact formula for moving up in rank.

I seem to remember changes at maybe 200, 300, 500, 800 posts or something. Maybe it started at 100. Then in increments at certain numbers. Just post a lot, go to the Approvals forum and tell everyone "congratulations!"

BAD idea.... there was a Mod/Adin recent post-warning about "bombing" using a bunch of worthless posts such as just "congrats". Not only do you annoy the regular users, but many will ignore your regular posts....

Just saying.

Oh yeah you make a good Point. Thankfully I didnt. Just made it to member like 5 min ago. Thanks for letting me know :-)

Not 'bombing' Pipeguy. Sincere words of celebrating in another's good fortune.  

Congrats on making Member Songbird, I guess it's at around 50 posts now. When I started there weren't as many member categories.

Trust me, those that post just "congrats" to every app or CLI are quickly ignored by many regulars. Note that this is not the same as saying congrats and adding useful information of experience to the tread.
