Also, you only have to go ~2600 pages in to a ~8000 page member list sorted by post count to reach the last person with just one post. I'm considering learning to use python to scrape post count and reputation to take a look at more of this stuff, but it'd take a while with the 1 search per 2 second limit. So if I get 1,499 reputation then I get to five dots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either paste the image in your post, then CTRL-RMB click it and use the options to add a link, or use the "Link" editor button (looks like a chain) and put something like this into it: URL: https://exapmle.target.link.ksp/content Link text: [IMG=https://i.imgur.com/zPGxL5V.png] The result won't embed in your post until you submit it: EDIT: To clarify what's going on here, there are the remains of a BBcode parser in this forum software, and is the BBcode tag to embed images. 13 minutes ago, The_Cat_In_Space said: So if I get 1,499 reputation then I get to five dots? That's actually post count, not reputation. I'll clarify that. If you have more than 1,499 posts (counting the same as the number underneath your avatar and reputation counter, above your location, i.e. all posts except those made in the Lounge), you will have 5 dots. 1400 = 4 dots 1499 = 4 dots 1500 = 5 dots It might have been clearer to say that you need 1500 posts to have 5 dots, but using greater than symbols is too deeply ingrained in me from computer programming and off-by-one errors.

If your post count is greater than or equal to 500, and less than 1500, you have four dots. I chose 1400 as an example within that range. Your post count is 553, so you are in the four dot range also.

And how do you put a quote from a different thread into a different thread? Not sure about signatures, but to quote in a different thread, just press the + to the left of the quote button, then go to the thread you want to quote in, and press the "Quote 1 post" popup in the lower right. Note that it works across tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they already take up a lot of space on the pages. @cubinator @Deddly and @ManeTI , as for the RSS thread acting up, that's because someone, who is totally not me, screwed up a couple of days ago. This person, who is still not me at all, thought he had fixed it and is embarrassed to learn that he hadn't. He's sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
