Meaning of Grey Squares..
 

What do they mean? Some are grey, some green, sometimes red. Are they used to flag problem posters?

These buttons indicate the state of the user. Green stands for online (available), red stands for online but invisible (the invisibility Mode turned on), grey means that the user is offline.

Thank you very much. I've been wondering about that forever. :rolleyes:

Meaning of grey squares..
 

I've been here for a while now, but I've always wondered ..
What does the little grey squares below the title mean??

Thanks in advance..

They're related to your post count. Not sure exactly how, but the people with the largest number of posts also have the largest number of little squares.

Thanks Elspeth! :smile:

Actually they are needless because you have titles like "newbie" or "gentry" which depend on your number of posts. . . :smile:
