Hiya sewmuch,
Sorry that I didn't respond sooner. As you can see your status has changed to "Member." The status is basically set by the number of posts a person makes. There are several different statuses that people can have including: New Member, Member, Active Member, and Well-known Member. A users status level will change whenever they gain a certain number of points. A user can get points from posting, having conversations with people, and liking posts. Essentially, the more active a person is on the forum the more points they will get, and the quicker they will gain a new status.
