It means you have about 10 posts on the ipadforum.net When your posts increase, your name changes.

How could it be .... I have 46 posts.
If it means : IPad Forum novice ....... I am no more a novice consequently how can I change it for something else ?

Moreover, I saw a user called BANG BANG ANNIE with only 9 posts with the following "IPF Fan". !
Consequently I suppose it can be changed somewhere in the system !
So where ? ... that is my question !

He got the number wrong but the principle right. Your name will change as your post count goes up.

There are exceptions. Moderators and Admins are labeled as such.

Premium members and sponsors can also have custom labels. At least I seem to remember there being such a thing as a premium membership, though I could just be remembering some other forum/site. If there is an upgrade link, it is well hidden.

I looked it up, means pedlar, roughly. :)

Maybe they meant mogul, or mongol, or better yet Mongo; of Blazing Saddles fame. Mongo love iPad! :D

Well! Going on your venerable advice, I went into the google search button on the top right hand corner of the website and keyed in post count or post name. Something like that, anyway, and up it pops. You taught me that, oh, great one. You've been with forgetful Gab for too long!!
