V-Flyer

Have been a member of this site for over a year now and a long time lurker prior to joining --- it is a truly great site, I have learned lots along the way, and in a funny way become addicted to it, the endless supply of queries [and answers] entertain and inform.

However I appear to have missed something, I have searched and searched but cannot find the answer --- underneath every user name is row of six aircraft, which appear to be highlighted from the left depending on some criteria? The user names are also linked to various travel names [New passenger, Road warrior, Frequent flyer etc]

Can someone put me out of my misery and explain the significance of these [are they linked to the number of posts?]-- I am sure it must be on the site somewhere and probably discussed many times before but after looking for several months I am embarrassed to say I give up - help!

They are both linked to the amount of posts, although we don't publish how many posts it takes to move up (in fact, even I don't know to be honest) . They are just a little bit of fun and don't have any real significance, so I wouldn't worry about it too much

Just got my fifth little plane

What I want to know is, where are those pink anoraks HL was speaking of??

Neil and Joeyc --- I was going mad trying to work out some sort of formulae, -- thanks for the explanation all sorted.
