I have a forum set up that I have various rank names based on the number of posts a user enters.. The more posts, the better the rank..
At first, I used a cfswitch and counted that way. Unfortunately, I realized that I would have to keep it up as more and more posts came in (if it went over the maximum) and if I separated it out to include a high maximum, I would still have issues as the spread between the ranks would grow and grow (there are 9 ranks total) making progress to the next rank harder and harder. I then came up with an idea that I would get what percentage of posts the user was responsible for and based on that precentage, it would set the rank. Someone just pointed out however that the same issue remains.. New people would face harder and harder times getting rank as the posts increased.. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas how to combat this.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:306390 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
