This may be a stupid question.

But what does the star by a poster's name mean? Is it a certain number of posts?

What is amusing me now is that I seem unable to find this welcome forum without going back to my inbox where it is linked. Is it listed in the forums? Usually I'm not this much of a dunderhead.

there are all kinds of abbreviations and references that you can't know if you haven't been here. I am always amazed to find another forum I knew nothing about and I have been here for ten years!

The people in the welcome forum are very helpful. The same is true for the computer help forum.
