New forum - wot's this mean

[sargasso]

At the bottom of the page there is a doohickey in the "Users Online" section, on the RHS, that looks like a pair of cricket wickets with 4 bails on each, one is black and has an umpire called "EA Administrator" standing at close square leg, the other is blue and has an umpire called "Global Administrator" at close square leg.


Am I missing something?

EDIT: For those may not be so familiar.  The verticals, called "stumps" (5 thereof) are topped by "bails" (=Count(stumps)-1)

No, you're not. When the Sparxians are logged on you'll see them in red (=EA Administrator).

As to what a Global Moderator (to amend your quote) is, who knows. Perhaps that's the subset of us who - if there actually were any - clean up the SPAM on the weekends.

That's my guess at any rate.

Once I saw Neil (KP) in the logon list and the name was colored red. But how to distinguish between the other big admins and general users seems to be a secret (or maybe I'm color blind).

Whell sheeout! Ya both got my help butttons!

Sometime soon I'll get back to modelling issues.

But bruce, we're all absolute beginners now.

[Rather than EA Administrators and Global Moderators, or even those other intimidating 'member' types that have gone the way of all good things.]
