Validating Username

[JessUK98]

DAK how I do this? I see several Fools have already done so but I can't see a specific thread on here or on The Fool which says how to do this.

In your profile/account settings (click on your name towards to right of the page, and then 'user control panel' you can apply to join the 'authenticated users' group, but it doesn't say what this means or involves so I haven't done it yet!

[JessUK98]

Thanking you. I have applied to join the group, so now it's pending approval.
EDIT - just been removed so lord knows

I asked a question vaguely on this topic earlier and it seems that this validated status occurs automatically when you have made twenty posts.

I made no special requests, now have 28 posts and am now 'green'. I've made a few posts since I turned green so 20 would seem about when I turned 'green'.

What fun

I wonder what colour 100 posts will bring!

Yes but you made it up to 20 posts on testing and didn't go green. It's all a mystery for now, but heck, we're only three days into this! And I've just requested to go green.

Also I just put in a signature and it's not there on the preview.

I asked, and got a reply. Apparently it's automatic once you've posted more than a set number of posts....

It's more by accident at the moment. The name is misleading, it just means you have reached a post threshold. I was looking at using it as a way of enabling the privilege of posting live links.
Sorry again, everything is in flux right now.

True, so much for my theory

Good job I like mysteries

My theory is that it only gets updated once a day, same as the 'Top recommended Fools' was.

That sounds like a reasonable theory Bree.

I shall see what tomorrow brings

I got notified I was 'going green' about 6:00pm today, so have a look in the evening.

Thanks Bree, will do.

[kodokan]

Darn, if there's a 6pm cut off then I've just missed it for today. Oh well, that gives me 23.5 hours to make one more post, ready for tomorrow's greening.

I wouldn't hold my breath, this infant site is still in a state of flux - one of the latest changes is that the Validated Users group has gone (still got my green name though)
