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'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 I am going to try editing my profile on a daily basis...

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.

Save some for me. lol
 
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?

Let me guess it's Rogaine...

No, but sold in bottles as well.
 
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?
