What is the difference between a Probie and an Airman?

[Bagpuss]

PRobie and Airman are just some of the Forum User fun "Ranks".

See this thread X-treme Guideto GateWorld

and "Probie" status for New Members for more help.

Is there a way to edit my posts?
I've seen another Probie edit his post, but I don't see an edit button anywhere.
Can someone help me?

[jelgate]

Are you sure?

Their should be a big edit button right next to the quote one for your posts

[diMaggio]

Unfortunately not. Only the two quote buttons and the quick reply button.

See for yourself:


And I'm 100% logged in. I even tried it with internet explorer (since I'm using firefox with a lot of addons). Logged in and tried to find an edit button... but to no avail.
Why can other Probies edit their posts? Does it have to do something with post count, time since I registered, etc?

It's possible you don't have that ability yet, since the mods are checking your posts. They may not want them to be edited yet.

there is a difference between the *Probie Rank* versus the Probie status. While you are in Probie STATUS you will not be able to edit your posts.

Probie Status is something all new members are subjected to and will automatically level you up once you meet a criteria set by the owner of Post count/time as a member/level of reputation. All three have to be met in order for the status to change you a regular poster that no longer has to have your posts cleared by a Moderator. At that time you will be free to edit your posts

[diMaggio]

Alright, that makes sense. I just wondered if something was not ok with one of my browser addons, since I use noscript, etc.

Thanks for the clarification!

Its not you. The mods have said Greg is aware of the issue but is having difficulty locating the glitch

I had a lot of problems last weekend (Internal Server Error, over and over) but that was probably because of the influx of SGU fans It's been okay since

Right now, there are still over 1000 people here
