AI Thread Summary

There is confusion regarding the criteria for the "First Responder" medal, with some believing it should be awarded for responding first to ten threads, while others suggest it requires a higher number. Questions arise about the "Rank Mentor" status, which is only available to selected users, and the process for acquiring response privileges on posts. Additionally, users discuss how to view their trophy points and the significance of the birthday trophy. Overall, the discussion highlights the need for clarity on trophy point awards and forum recognition.

I am having some problems resieving trophy points, for example after 100 messages and others. Is this just a delay and will I then receive them later or have I made a foolisch mistake? It doesn't really matter, but I was just wondering...Thanks for any clarifications!

Ah, thanks I have just received them, thanks greg bernhardt! Great forum.
 
I have noticed that there is usually a delay before the points are awarded, but they come through in the end.
 
Trophies are awarded once a day if the requirements are met
 
I'm wondering why I don't have the first responder medals, I know since the forum change I've been the first to respond to more than 10 threads.
 
Has anybody got the Godfather medal?

I thought the first responder medal was awarded for answering in a single thread 10 times?!

That could be, but why then would it be labled "First" responder? :)

Sure thing. 7 years is not that long.

I see you are one.
I don't know about first responder, because then I would have had about 20 threads answered first or 15 but more than ten, would it count if I respond to my own thread :) ?
Is the Rank Mentor achievable by every user or just gold members or selected users and if what must I do to get Mentor?

Mentors are selected by Greg and the mentors. It's not a recognition, it's an actual a job, volunteer.

No, the first responder is for being the first to respond to n threads, where n is some number that I immediately forgot when I saw I was given that trophy. I think it was a very small number, like maybe 25 or so

What about the birthday trophy does it refer to the first time I was first on the forum or my actuall birhtday, yes I know it is a stupid question?

I think the first responder is working. I got to level 3 already and I'm waiting for my first-aid kit.

That may help you think you're getting younger. We need a good chemical to really do the trick.

I have a chemical here that perhaps doesn't make me younger, but helps forgetting the age.

I remember seeing once that I had some trophies. I don't remember what they were for or how many I had, not that it matters, but I've never seen them since. How do I see a list of them?

I seem to be missing some trophy points (Academic Institution Member and Gold Member). Not that I care :D, but how do I get them?

I went to a post I myself made to see why someone had "liked" it and was informed that I did not have sufficient privileges to respond to my own post.

What do I need to do to acquire response privileges?

Thank you, I don't really have a fresh post for that thread just now - I am just trying to learn the rules of the game.

Oh I see, the lock on the thread is not visible when you click on the link to the actual post, only if you back out to the title page of all threads.
