I am listed as a level one blog poster, and a level two in photography. What is the criteria for the different levels?
Thanks

Reply to this Given that this question has been asked a few times, and Home and Away's records appear to be the only current source of info, could an Admin make this a sticky topic? It would clear up future confusion until the code finally gets fixed to put this data back.
Reply to this In response to: Msg #204666 Thanks for the correction. We can all be grateful that this blog is available to us free of charge because the developer, Ali, volunteers his time. I think it speaks volumes about how busy Ali is given that his last travel blog was in August 2012. For almost six years he has been reading about our travels. I would rather hear about his next trip before he fixes this issue! We wish you all the best, Ali!
Reply to this Oh dear, I am sorry if my message (#204540) sounded like a criticism - it was merely meant as a correction! We all know how difficult it must be to keep a site like this up and running and I, for one, would not want it to go the same way as TravBuddy and TravelPod.
Incidentally, while mentioning those now disbanded sites, I note that some of those who recently moved here from TravelPod have published more than enough blogs and photos to meet current criteria for our awards, but have not been awarded them yet.
It may also be worth mentioning that there are countless numbers of people who registered here many years ago as 'bloggers', yet they have still never published a blog. Time for a purge perhaps?
Reply to this In response to: Msg #204720 No critism intended...just praise for Ali, Michelle, and Jo. And I agree to a purge. Indeed, I went so far as to purge Moderators who havn't even logged onto the site in more than a year, much less performed Moderator duties.
