    I got a message saying if I posted one thing anywhere on the site, I'd get a trophy. Well, I did, so how do I claim the thing now? (And what exactly IS it? {scratching head})

    Thanx in advance!

    LOL, I know it's not the lotto. And I already went over there to that URL before I ever posted this question. That didn't answer anything. So I ask again, puzzled: what's with the "trophies"? Couldja maybe just explain it for me briefly? Thanx!

    The trophies are just something this xenforo forum software does by default.

    You get 'Trophy Points', which are basically meaningless on our forum (some forums tie them to your subtitle) and just, as Eldon said, to say thanks, for the following (some I have no idea what they even mean):

    1. First Message Points: 1

    2. Somebody Likes You Points: 2

    3. Keeps Coming Back Points: 5

    4. Can't Stop! Points: 10

    5. I Like It a Lot Points: 10

    6. Seriously Likeable! Points: 15

    7. Addicted Points: 20

    8. Can't Get Enough of Your Stuff Points: 20

    9. I LOVE IT! Points: 30

    In order to turn the alerts for them off (which I have done), you just hover your mouse over 'Alerts' on the top right > Click on Alert preferences > and scroll down to the bottom and uncheck the Trophy box

    It's a way of saying 'Thank You' for helping on MajorGeeks.

    If the 'Thanks' carried over, and the trophy points didn't stop at 500 likes and 1,000 posts, you would be way ahead. :)

    BTW If the 'thanks' from the previous software carried over... you, DavidGP , would have more likes than I have posts! :cool:
