Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

You know, with a post count like you I'd expect that you have a profile picture already. I even have an idea for what it should be. I'm sure you can guess :)

@LNS If I'm not mistaken I think he's referring to the fact that Dan has sent gifts to people with a high hat tip score. I remember Dan made a post about what he sent to @davidmal or was it @Davidthebest

I don't see where it says what privileges you get. Just how many posts required to get to a certain status. I didn't search through all the pages though.

But as far as I know the only other privilege known to me is. After 10,000 posts you get to see deleted posts. And I've heard of rumours of exclusive threads only a select few have access to.

Not much else privilege-wise once you get your profile pic.
