Elephant Knight Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 All the images that are beneath the members rank (i.e. my rank is Tohunga) and above the member's join date. I have seen everything from gears (Like mine) to pictures of sets to mask line ups with some being coloured, some not. What is the purpose of these? I have tried searching around to find some clue as to what each kind of image means, but had no luck. Can someone enlighten me? Toa Han My Flickr.

Bfahome Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) From this post in the Q&A Compendium (scroll down a bit): 8. Rank Image: This image corresponds to a member's post rank and will be displayed for Premier Members only. The post rank and rank image correspond to how many counted posts a member has made. Forum Administrators get a special rank image of four golden gears; BZPower Administrators get six.Normally they are only displayed for Premier Members, but as is usual for BZPower's anniversary all members have been given access to Premier Member benefits, including the post rank images.

Elephant Knight Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Sooo.... when you have premier membership, you can basically customize those images? Huh.... Toa Han My Flickr. Old Bionicles on Brickshelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfahome Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Sooo.... when you have premier membership, you can basically customize those images? Huh.... Toa HanNot exactly. As it says, the image corresponds with how many posts you've made (in forums where posts add to your post count) so you can't just switch them out to whichever you'd like. Over time as you make posts it'll change to different images alongside your listed "rank" (yours is currently "Tohunga") but for non-Premier members they'll vanish after the week of perks ends.

Elephant Knight Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Ok... so your Takanuva and Rahkshi staffs simply mean you have been here since February 2008 and have over 6700 posts? Toa Han My Flickr. Old Bionicles on Brickshelf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarn Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) I don't think you're really getting it. The image and title correlate to only your post count, not when you joined. That's what mask spinnies are for. I believe you get that Takanuva image for breaking 6000 posts, or lower.EDIT: It should be mentioned that Bfahome has a custom member title, so his doesn't correlate to post count.

Bfahome Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Ok... so your Takanuva and Rahkshi staffs simply mean you have been here since February 2008 and have over 6700 posts? Toa HanIt only has to do with the number of posts listed on your (or my) profile, so my current post image indeed reflects my 6,700+ posts. The exact post count numbers for particular ranks aren't shared publicly, though, in order for it to be somewhat of a surprise. The spinning mask by the proto bar, on the other hand, is what shows how long a member has been on the site. That is also described in the post I linked to above. You currently have a Vahi, which means you've been a member of the site for a full year, and I have an Ackar hear, meaning I've been a member for a full eight years. Each year of membership will get you a new spinny. So while you're able to get new rank images for posting more, the only way to get a new spinny is to wait a while. (The Q&A Compendium post I linked to above has basically a full breakdown of what the things next to your post represent, just scroll down a bit.)

Elephant Knight Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) I understood the spinning mask bit, (Can't I just keep the Vahi? It's cool....) but the Q&A didn't explain what the image (In your case, Takanuva) meant. Now it is clear to me. Thanks a lot for clearing that all up!
