Why do I have a green dot and you have a blue dot?

[milestogo]

Hi all, I'm wondering why I have a green dot below my name and everyone else seems to have a blue dot. Some have other symbols... triangles, apostrophes... what are those? Can someone tell me if there is a list of symbols? or what they mean?

You have a green dot to show that you are now online. If you log out, it will be blue. Mine is presently green.

The red triangle is on everyone eles's post (yours has one when I look at it but mine will not for me, and vise versa). It is how you alert mod's about an offensive post. Use it with great care (I have never reported a post yet).

Thanks so very much! That is hilarious!!
I would have never figured that out

Now my question is what are the silver sponsors? And when do we get different titles under our names: earning my ears, mousketeer etc.

If I changed my listing under my name will it be changed by the tag fairy?

You can "sponsor" the DisBoard - http://www.wdwinfo.com/dis-sponsor/ - and once you do you are given the logo for your sponsorship level which you can choose to display or not....

Earning Ears, etc, change with the number of posts you have, or you can change it to your own.

The Tag Fairy has never "tagged" me, but will tag folks when they post something that is "memorable"!!! This tag is in addition to whatever you have posted as your tag.

I hope this helps.

I've never noticed those and it still took me a long time to find them after I read your post. Learn something new everyday!

Wow, now I see the triangles!

 

[PURTYPAT1]

Interesting!!!

 

[maddhatir]

whoa- How weird is it that the OPs dot is now BLUE........and ours is GREEN..........but they cant see it!

I knew about the triangles and everything else, but I too didn't know what the difference between blue and green dots was. Thanks for asking the question!

Okay, I knew the dots and the triangle but not the sponsor. My question is why my location doesn't show. It shows my join date and my [low] number of posts, but not my location. I've gone all through the edit profile and am obviously just missing something. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure green dots mean you're currently on

**edited to say I'm an idiot.. I opened this to page 2 and didn't realize others replied! **

also.. the triangle.. I have one. I guess I can report me

I clicked on Edit Profile and was taken to a page I've never seen before! And yet, I've edited it before. Who the heck knows?! :

In any case, Disneynutz, thank you for the help, it worked
