Yes, I'm user 464.

You are member #1666, as indicated by the url of your profile, u=1666.

That cant be right, because right now it says that we have 1638 Members. So how can I be Member 1666?

 Well, I don't know if this is correct or not, but my guess would be that you're the 1,666 member to join, but some of the members either deleted their accounts, were banned, or in some way their account was shut down.

  EDIT:  I have a question.  What's everyone talking about with the "Changing news"?  I saw that the news looked different, but it doesn't change for me.  All it says is "Welcome to the Redwall Abbey forum!".

@Rainshadow: If you look at it long enough, it will change.

An account would be deleted that many times?

I was looking at the what the members are doing (hen you click who's online) and it says that Osu is looking at: "Nothing, or Nothing you can't see!" What is that?

P.S It didn't have a link lie the others either

[Osu]

"Nothing, or Nothing you can't see!" What is that?

Mods and Admins can see areas of the forum users can't, such as the pages where we make new boards or edit existing ones, as well as our secret lair where we deviously plan our next April 1st prank, and so on. This is probably what's happening when you see that message.

[Tam and Martin]

Thank you!

Secret Lair? I wish I could see that!

[BrookSkimmer]

Then it wouldn't be a secret now would it?

I PM'ed DanielofRedwall when I first saw the "Nothing, or Nothing you can see..." thing on what Taggerung_of_Redwall was doing. He said pretty much what Osu said. I called it, " The Forbidden Board" . Just ceriouse, but what is the interface like of "The Forbidden Board"?

[Shandi]

I didn't see this specifically in the FAQ or through the search engine and I can't be bothered to scroll through 37 pages of questions, but have you ever considered changing the user ranks (Newbie, Jr. Member, etc.) to something much more Redwally, like Dibbun, Abbeybeast, Warrior, etc.? The default ones, while effective, lack a distinct personal touch. Anyway, it's only a small cosmetic change, but those kinds of minor details can really spice up a website.

EDIT: Also, have you considered upgrading to SMF 2.0? I just did for my forums, and it's über shiny. I would recommend it, if you are considering it.

[Matthias720]

While Redwall themed ranks have been suggested in the past, the staff feels that the current ones are sufficient. As for upgrading to SMF 2.0, I do not have the ability to do that, as I am not the one hosting the forum.

It's the Admin Board where they add boards, ranks, etc.

I know that. I'm just ceriouse about the interface of that board.

[DanielofRedwall]

The hidden staff board has the same interface, it is just not viewable by members.
