Forum rankings are indeed based on the number of posts. You DO NOT have to go back to the main page to determine how this works. It doesn’t matter what forum you are in or page you are on…simply scroll down to the very bottom of wherever it is you are. You will see on the lower left side, “Jump to”…and a box beside it. At the right end side of this box, you’ll see a downward facing arrow. Click on that … a submenu will come up. Look for “Forum user ranks” … click on that. This will take you to a page where it is all explained. But, for simplicity sake, here is what is says:
Forum ranks are determined by the number of contributing posts made to the forum by registered users.

RANKS
Recipe Buddy = 0 - 9 posts
Chef Apprentice = 10 - 24 posts
5 Star Chef = 25 - 49 posts
World Class Chef = 50 - 99 posts
Master Chef = 100 or more posts
Maybe you too can be a “Master Chef” one day
That’s all there is to it. Forum ranking cannot be changed. Once you hit 100 posts, your at the highest ranking there is. It’s just a little incentive to members, to post, and achieve the next level. It means nothing beyond that. Presumably, if you hit 100 posts or more, you’ve had lots of experience, and lots of recipes. That only stands to reason. There is no other award, nor does one’s specific ranking category mean they personally possess some special skill. It all boils down to number of posts. And one’s literary skills quickly become apparent. You’ll see posts where there is no punctuation, nor capital letters used and the recipe is basically one long run-on sentence, with blatent spelling errors. That makes for difficult reading and interpreting…for the most part, you’ll see members post in a conscientous manner. But, we’re all human, and all subject to mistake. So, don’t get hung up on the ranking…nor the writings skills. They do not necessarily make for being adept in the kitchen. We’re all here to learn, share and have fun. So enjoy!
