When you post on any of the forums, your MORE screen name, alias, or whatever you call it appears at the top of your post, next to your avatar. Some of the names are italicized, others are not.

What's the significance?

The italicized ones are the good looking posters. Or, perhaps they're the MORE members? I forget which ;)

It means you are a MORE member. I'll note that some people who are members don't have italicized names (like myself) because their primary user group is something else (my primary user group is administrators, so my name isn't italicized).

I recently joined MORE. Now let's see if my name is italicized. Hey, it is! Sweet!!

I was hoping for the former, but resigned to the latter. But then I noticed that guys like Jabberwocky and Jackson were non-italicized, so that blew that theory all to hell.

Speak of the devil. Now all is clear.

Speak of the devil. Now all is clear.Yeah, its a little confusing. Basically, if your primary usergroup is "MORE Member" you get an italicized name. There are lots of additional groups though. For instance, MORE sponsors aren't italicized (like riderx, for example) even though they are basically super MORE members. Neither are moderators or admins.

Thats something I could probably fix. Maybe I'll run it by the forum gods and see what they say.
