I haz points? What are points? And what are they for?
Points go towards the trophies you earn. Here are all the available trophies: Trophies | E-Cigarette ForumThank you for asking - same question here.
If you click the number of points that show in your member card (the little pop-up with the member info when you click on an avatar), you will see the trophies earned by you or the member whose avatar you clicked.
It's just a little 'reward system' that comes with XenForo, so we left it turned on. Wheeee...
I won't say never, but there are no plans to put that info in the postbit at this time. That could change at any time of course, and it does get discussed periodically as many have requested this. The problem is, with all the posts and all the users, the concern is about how much of a hit to the speed the servers will take if this is changed. Since the information is not static, the software calls to the server each time it's displayed, and the more information in the postbit that's not static, the more calls to the server, which reduces speed and efficiency (which is one of the main reasons we switched to XF).
This is what I understand from the situation as explained to me - I'm not a coder, so there you have what I know.

To no one in particular, I don't mind answering questions here (or anywhere else for that matter), but don't want to hijack Nicoticket's forum to do so without express consent.

The average user would not notice any difference in speed loading at all.
Xenforo is a faster loading software than vB and by having the members post number displayed as per what I said would not be felt by a user....
Also may I add, why not give the members the right to use a separate style with the number of posts of a member showing as it's an option to have per style not as the overall software.
So all you need to do is upload a copy version of this skin, name it Version 2 style and set that style to show the post count of a user in the postbit
Then the user can decide themselves if they want to use this so called 'slower' loading style or not

I notice some changes today -- the "MOOD" thing is gone.
And now your location and date joining ECF are back under the avi. I like having those two bits of info.
These are positive changes in the right direction!

<<<<Hmmm, I guess I'm not goofy anymore and you're in no mood for it...
Yup, it's pretty cool having them back!
Speaking for myself, I don't feel you have been hijacking the NT forum and you have been providing great input here. Some of us, me included, don't wander a lot in the wilderness of ECF instead preferring our homey little NuThouse. Therefore the info on XF you have been providing us is helpful. Heck you're part of the family now and a Warrior!=====

LOL, gotta fix that "No Mood For It" thing, now. Unless I want to just stay generally GRUMPY.
I thank you for hijacking a forum that is in a constant state of hijacking (seriously) since I can only be here (though I know that may not be true for those threads I'm erring on the side of caution...) so I can see what's up.
That's very kind of you both, thank you!Speaking for myself, I don't feel you have been hijacking the NT forum and you have been providing great input here.

Like I said, I'm happy to help as much as I can, just didn't want to overdo it. Megan, you can post in the Site Feedback & Help forum, it's for all members, including registered and forum suppliers (just no biz posts, natch). So help yourself to the links I posted! You've gone above my paygrade there Maka (I'm more a management admin than a s/w admin, though I am a sort of techie type - more h/w than s/w though).
Feel free to post your ideas in Site Feedback & Help where more of the admin staff will see it! Sorry you're missing that Newportlocal!
Have you tried the "Watch Thread" and "Watch Forum" options? I really like those methods myself. Also you can set alerts to "on" for people quoting you, and get notified of that instantly! Glad you like that! I knew it was being tossed around, but came home from work to find that changed. I like it too! The mood thing though is just hidden for non-supporting members. Supporting members still see it and can change it. 
Sonic rocks. Love your style and your avi as well bud. Welcome to the NuThouse
btw I still see the moods...mine still says "vegged out"

You are a supporting member, so you can see the Moodsbtw I still see the moods...mine still says "vegged out"
Whoops, sorry - just woke up and didn't even register what Sonic said about the moods. This is what working 12 hour days 19 days in a row will do to you. Day 18 today.
but the computer(s) running this Forum would feel it, and like it. Not so many calls to the database(s) with user info would have to be made.
The truth is I just don't like change somewhere I kick back and relax. I'll eventually get used to it and they'll upgrade. LOL
