What do the little gold stars mean.  Brian has five stars next to his message and I only have 2

It's a "thread rating." I believe that it has to do with the length of the thread. At some point we can decide how much of this cutesy stuff we want to preserve.

It's similar to the user ranking that appears above your picture. The number of green dots is related to the total number of messages you've posted to the forum. There is a special reward if and when somebody hit's a six!

No, the gold stars are a user rating of the topic. You can click on the stars to rate the topic. It averages everyone's ratings.

I gave this one five stars. It's tops!

I think the stars are foolish, distracting, and unnecessary.  Sorry

That's what beta testing is all about. That particular "feature" is enabled by default. I just need to find where I go to disable it. I don't find it that useful, either ...

I wasn't endorsing it, just explaining it.

And I'm taking back my five-star rating now!

Oops, too late. Can't do that anymore.

What are the little green boxes numbering 1-6? And what type of file is needed for your avatar?

Nancy,

The little green "dots" indicate how active you've been in the forums. 

You earn your first dot by posting a message.  Other dots are earned as you post more.  The more you post, the more you earn!

I know that GIF and JPG files work. PNG files might work, too.
