Think it's one of those things that comes with the software package, just a visual aid.

Mystery solved!

I DECIDED TO REPLY TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF MY blob...

When we are told size is not important, the blob size is not the subject.

Sorry off topic.

Who remembers Mr Blobby 

If NewportNobby were to be banned from making any more posts for a while (ie. sent to the Sin Bin for a fixed period of time), then everybody else's blobs would automatically increase in size as their percentage of the total would increase each time they posted, as he is apparently the yardstick by which everyone else is judged.

Sorry MIck (it is Mick isn't it) - nothing personal but your blob is obese and you need to go on a diet.

How very dare you? I resemble that remark.

I have noticed that NPN isn't a moderator anymore - at least his name is not blue and he is no longer described as such - perhaps that has been his punishment?

This has piqued my interest. Which "blob" are we talking about?
I notice that I (for example) have a green square next to my name , whereas others have different colours and under my membership description( ei. full member) I have three yellow squares.
There is also the figure for trade count, What is this?
Perhaps someone in authority would be kind enough to explain or point us to an existing post which makes all clear!

The initial "blob" I was asking a question about was the one shown on the "Members List" under the heading Posts Made and against the number of posts shown that each member has made.

Green means you are currently 'online', white means you are 'offline'
