The Yellow Star

[erpowers]

I just noticed that I had a yellow star by my sign in name. Everybody does not have them so I would like to know what they mean. Do you get them once you have passed a posting mark?

1. It appears that a kind anonymous soul has donated in your name

Congrats!

2. They're for donating money to DU.

3. No, it means someone has donated for you. Now you can

use all the cool extras like search and what not. :hi:

8. We're good.

Paddy gets a little better every day, too; he's impatient, though, being invalided, so it's a bit of a challenge to make sure he doesn't get too bored. I've improvised a bit, but I'm keeping him occupied doing a lot of the paperwork for the businesses, which he can do at home.

4. It's a donor star

If you donate, you get a star. Maybe someone donated for you.

7. Do you know ...

"you are my sunshine?"

If you take your browser arrow and put it on the star, it becomes a little hand with a pointing finger and the words "donating member" appear. Handy little trick, that. I use it on the "top ten idiots" list because I cannot remember what the icons mean.

Once upon a time I thought the stars were given to people who made alot of really good posts - they were "star" posters.
