Would it be possible to have the ability to add avatars to your profile [?]

I second that. Avatars would be a great addition if possible :)

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is an Avatar?

Grateful thanks in anticipation

Great job - I love it, thanks - now I'm even more desperate to get the elusive FC Gold :)

BTW, I also like the title after 100 posts - "VirginFlyer Cabin Crew" sounds great, do I get a pay rise? :D

Cheers

I also love the avatars.

It does make me a bit ashamed of my FC Red status though [:(]

I fly just to infrequently to qualify for FC Silver [:(] (and haven't done the transatlantic run at all since 9/11).

However, when I do fly on a VS route, I would never use another airline and I'm fiercly (and vocally) loyal to Virgin Atlantic for all the great experiences I've had with them.

I'm heading to EWR in September, so VERY excited about that :)

I wonder what it says when you get up to 4 stars for the amount of posts you make...

Perhaps the Flight Crew?

Oh I dunno, maybe 1st Officer or something would be nice ;)

You get 4 stars at 250 posts and your title will change to:

VirginFlyer Co-Pilot

:D

I can't see me climbing any higher in the top posting members, only falling as some of you are on here a lot more!

Thanks,
Richard

Thanks Richard :)

Is there a 5 star level? Even higher than that?

;)

Or are the highest levels surprises for when you reach them! :D

PostPosted: 18 Mar 2004, 00:19

Yup. There is 5-star at a 1000+ posts...

Wooo, that'll be really cool (hmmm, am I turning from geek to anorak? [:I])

I don't know just what you'd be trying to say there ;)

Pix,

Is anyone on here at the 5 star level? If not, I agree with mcuth that I there should be some sort of prize for the first person to reach the lofty hights of 1000 posts! ;)

You can see the top posters by clicking "Members" near the top of the screen; default sorting is by number of posts. Bazz is way out in the lead with over 300 posts! Unfortunately you can't see the "Co-Pilot" title anywhere on this board right now, because the two people with over 250 posts already have the titles "Moderator" and "Forum Admin"

Cool :)

Thanks Onion! I forgot about the 'Members' option!

Posting rate is getting better - over at FlyerTalk where a few of us started along time ago.....

I'm coming upto 4 years on FT with 1447 posts (across VS and AmEx mostly), The Banking Scot on the otherhand has 1699 posts in 2.5 years.

Must say I am spending more time here on VirginFlyer than on FT now.

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard

Yeah, I prefer it here to FT - it's growing into a real little community :)

Cheers

True.

I've looked in on FT and in comparison VF feels so much nicer.

I suppose it's probably because, as fans of VS, we're all singing from the same hym sheet so-to-speak! :)
