Points

   I'm seeing these Points listed on the left hand side. That made me go to the Memberlist, where it used to show the # of posts people had posted, some people had many thousands. Was this data all lost, Aaron, during the course of updating the website? That's a shame, if that's the case.

	The forum software now displays points instead of posts. If you want to see a member’s number of posts, you will find that in their profile. Here's what the point system is based on (all are the default settings): Create New Topic: 2 points Post Reply: 1 point Post Answer/Resolution: 5 points (This is currently set to 'admin' but I can change it so that all members can mark a post as an answer/resolution.) Thanked: 5 points

	Interesting! I'd like to suggest for the Memberlist page, you also include # of posts (there's room after the 'date joined', for instance) and that you also restore the Sort options we had before, such as by # of posts, etc.

	The forum is not custom built. It's made by a company in the UK that offers it for free. You just download the software and install it on the server. We went from version 7 (circa 2005) to version 12 in one update, and all the changes you see are things that Web Wiz modified in the last 20 years.

	Oh wow! First of all, that's a huge change - 20 years in one update. So I get that they may have gotten rid of the sorting options. But they deleted the "Posts" column (and replaced it with points?) That seems odd that they randomly deleted a column, if I'm understanding you're correctly.
