Can I make it so that users' post counts become visible
May I ask why do you want to see the post count?

With Nabble, the count of a user's posts includes all his posts. He may have posted to your forums but also other forums. So, a guy with 10 posts may have contributed more to your forum than a guy with 50 posts.

You mean to have a special label to indicate the status of a "member"? Can you tell us what does a "member" mean? i.e. what things are member-only?

I ask this because a public forum doesn't really have a membership concept. In a public forum anybody can view and post.
I have 2 questions to ask:

1. Regarding the reply to Kaarle_W:
I'm also interested in both a post count indicater, below the avatar, as with other forum types. And also, a member status label.
Now from what I see of your reply to Kaarle_W, it would appear that Nabble is very similar to easyboard, in it's construction, whereby a member can be logged into many forums at the same time. Am I correct in this assumption? If I am, then, although the post count is irrelavent, depending on how many other forums a given member belongs to. A great many members, do like to see the postcount show. They treat it like a status symbol. They also seem to like the idea, and conscept of the member status, as this indicates the length of time they have been a member. It also helps new members, by letting them know who to contact through posting, if they have a problem or would like some information regarding the forum layout.

2. I notice that there is no option, for a General Moderator, or Moderator. That in fact, the only way to upgrade a member to a forum, is to give them equal power as you. Is there a function for making a General Moderator, or Moderator? If not, will there, or could there be one added. My reason, is because, if the Admin of the forum is away, it would be useful if there is someone to moderate the posts of members, and keep the forum, in good order.
