Welcome to the forums, sweetpeanut. :slight_smile:

The stars are an indication of how many posts have been made by a person.

Asking a question is not dumb but not asking a question is.


-= Add-on: What does a yellow or blue star mean…?

I’ve never seen a blue star before ???

The “normal” users have blue stars.
Some admins have blue stars or red/orange ones…

but I also don’t know exactly…

-= I think I saw them some time with those Uberevangelist…?

-= BTW, what is an Uberevangelist…?

Überevangelists are people with many many posts… don’t know how much are needed… but I think more than 10000 or so…

über means above/higher than
and evangelist is a synonyme for a big fan/follower…
(I think this status once was described like this somewhere else in the forum…)

Überevangelists also have the normal yellow stars…

For instance-Tech-Posts: 41909 and Davidr-Posts: 33037 Sorry Bob3160-not there yet ;D Me-far from it :)

There is little need to worry about the stars they just increase with your post count, the colours too aren’t worth worrying about as the UserName usually has some other profile information below it, those with Alwil Team or Moderator are developers of the avast anti-virus.

An Überevangelist is probably someone with way to much time on their hands ;D I can’t recall if it was 20,000 or 25,000 post, which is unimportant really. What is important is the content and help you receive from whomever it is, be that a Newbie or an Überevangelists as that only relates to posts in the avast forums and not experience in the real world.

There are some very experienced avast users, who when they first join are Newbies, but that most certainly doesn’t equate to their experience.

By the other weird icons I take it you mean those below, see image

But they are putting their tooooooooooooo much time on their hands to good use at least :)
20,000 or 25,000 post

-= Look like I’ve got a really long way to go before being one…

-= Like drhayden… I would like to thank all those who had been very big help to me for almost half a year of my stay in the forum…
