I vote to have this project moved to the Creation Discussion Forum where it belongs - if I understand correctly, you yourself have this power as a moderator.
I do have the ability to do that, but I'll be honest, the NOOB forum gets a lot more attention than the Creation Discussion forum does, I don't know why. To make matters worse, the Pepakura/Cardboard sub-forum, burried in the Creation Discussion sub-forum gets even less attention (which, unfortunately is where my thread resides). Fixing little problems like this is part of the site reconstruction that Spase is/was working on before the malware issue. Doc, I would be more than happy to move your thread over to the Creation Discussion forum, but there are two down-sides to that. One, as mentioned before, you may end up getting less attention, and two, once a thread is moved, the author loses the ability to change the thread title (I'm not sure why this occurs either, but Thorn had his thread moved and has lost the ability to change his thread title to reflect his finished status). If you can live with those, let me know and I'll move it for you, not a problem at all as you obviously have the talent to be out of the NOOB forum.
PS: I just got my infantryman rank! Thanks guys. It's the little things that restore faith.
I've actually noticed that there are a few people who are being promoted. It has been a while and I think it has something to do with the move back to the general VBulletin page layout. It, however, was a necessary change since there was a few annoying errors (this was before I was a moderator though, so I'm not 100% on that). I'll have to look around at other members, because I think there are still a few with well over 200 or 300 posts who have not been promoted yet.
Also, I agree that having only one active administrator is a mistake. I would talk to Spase and request that role myself, but my admin knowledge is pretty limited for now.
Anyway, sorry for gumming up your thread, back to your build!
Edit: I actually figured out what it was that made you an infantryman. The requirements for infantryman are 120 posts, and 90 days as an active member. Today is your 90th day as a member!
