The little blurb above my avatar says I'm a veteran member, so that shouldn't be a factor.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

Quoted for most likely truth.

Interestingly, next to your post it says "Senior Member" where others have "Veteran".

You're right, it does say Senior, not Veteran.
Which I don't understand, seeings how I'm under 65 but did serve in the military...hmmmmm......

This is the worst kind of discrimination; the kind against me!

I guess I'll wait out my time until I can become a Veteran and post more pictures.

I generally upload shots at a larger size (~1024 wide) because the forum will redimension the displayed shot to 800x600. The benefit is that you can click the photo and get a slightly larger version to peruse. But I keep the quality (size) around 200k if I can. Hopefully everything will return to normal after the server move.

Since Otto has a higher post count than me but has no unlimited space while I do, it will probably rather be the join date than the post count. Anyway, somewhere someone will know all the dirty details and sooner or later share the answer with us.

Anyone suspected of padding their post count with worthless posts just to get to veteran status will have their post count reduced to ZERO by me. If you see this happening, PM me with a link, please.

How many posts do you have?
