Is there a list which gives the criteria for reaching these milestones anywhere?

I've noticed that of those with the annotation Senior Member, some have a lower post count and a later date of joining than me. It doesn't make sense to have any annotation at all if there is no structure behind it.
The default ones are:
Newbie - 0
Junior Member - 50
Member - 100
Senior Member - 500
Executive Member - 2500
Vice President - 5000
Executive Vice President - 10000
Senior Vice President - 25000
President - 50000
Chairman - 100000
GOD! - 250000
However, there is an option within your account settings to change this to whatever you want.
Can you point me to a few members who's rank seems to be outside of the default scope - there may be a problem with the whole ranking system that needs a deeper look.
Cheers,
Shaun

It's probably just mine then as from your list I should be a senior member. I'll have a look later at my profile to get around to changing it. Thanks Mike
It's not your profile - it's the importer!!!
It seems there's a bug in the converter for when you move from vB to IPB - the member title should be made blank so the new (IPB) system can assign the respective rank.
Where it isn't left blank it assumes a custom title and doesn't apply the default ranks.
I may be able to write a query that fixes this for everyone ... leave it with me.
Cheers,
Shaun

Ranks now fixed.
All previous custom modified ranks remain in place, and the imported rank names have now been "nulled" so the software will apply the appropriate default rank.

I notice you've also modified the who's online list at the bottom of the forum page to display in alphabetical order. That's much appreciated too.
Yes - I'm slowly working through things.
Before the forum move I had quite a bit of time on my hands and envisaged a great run at putting everything right after the initial move, setting up the new features, and then cracking on with expanding the site.
The move didn't go as smoothly as I'd expected, and with hindsight I shouldn't have changed the look 'n' feel at the same time - that put a lot of people off (who are hopefully now coming back and finding the "Classic" theme ...
).
I've also had to spend quite a bit of time working on the server to get it back up to speed (the new software does lots more than the old one, but it does impact on the server more and I've had a steep learning curve to get things back to how I want them!!).
I've also had a fair bit to do at home recently too, which has slowed progress a bit. However I'm now trying to focus on specific things and working my way down the hit-list; each little thing helps so in time we'll be back on a level and I'll be able to get back in to using the forums, instead of fiddling with them.

Shaun

Blimey!
Just realised that I'm now 'executive' - or would be if I hadn't over-written my 'rank' with something else...
Memo: must get out more...
What does that 'something else' refer to, Pete? I've wondered if it is the furthest thing you have seen with a telescope, but I could be way off the mark.
Edit: BTW Shaun, thanks for all the work you do.
Ooh errrr! Don't get me started on my fave subject!
Too late. OK, yes, more or less as you say, I think it's the furthest thing I've photographed as the primary subject of a piccie: the rather loose, fuzzy, backward-'S' shape galaxy in my avatar. Try googling "NGC 7479" for some much better images!
This doesn't mean it's the furthest thing there's ever been in my photos. Most images of galaxies abound in what we call 'faint fuzzies' - just small fuzzy blobs of even more distant galaxies in the background of your main subject. Indeed there are several in the original uncropped version of NGC 7479 I did, though they don't show up in my avatar.
Back to topic - thanks Shaun for putting up that table. Though what it says about someone is ... well ...
