Forgive my ignorance but what do the little gold and silver medals signify when they appear against your name and the number of times you have posted? Do you have to reach a certain number of posts to be promoted from silver to gold?

If you hover over the medal with the mouse cursor, all will be revealed

The 'site veteran' concept is slightly odd because you could just submit 30 or so posts about the weather and become a 'site veteran'

I want everyone to know I've now got my gold medal. I'm promoted from silver to gold having posted my 30th contribution to the Forum. Now I can hold my head up in illustrious company such as John Riley, 4,583 posts, George Lazarette 4,442, Mattmatic 3,682, Mannesty 2656, Gwyn 1502 and a host of others.

This is a "veteran" who saw action through Europe and Korea. Harry died two weeks ago aged 89.....John

Didn't anybody tell him that smoking is dangerous?
But then, I guess, he was used to looking death in the eye...
