Hello Staff,
Can you please explain the meaning of the grey bullets under the name and status  (another explanation needed) of the members?
Mysterious!

Oh, the grey bullets. I don’t know, Yves. I was under the impression you were talking about the fancy member titles. — Edited.

Managing director, FontLab
The number of circles (and the "title") correspond to the number of posts a user has written: 

- >1000 = Hero Memeber = 5 circles
- >199 = Sr. Member = 4 circles
- >49 = Full Member = 3 circles
- >9 = Jr. Member = 2 circles

There was some cache issue so in some cases the number of the circles was shown wrong. Fixed. 

Overall, the idea is to give other users an estimate as to how trustworthy/reliable another user is. If you ask a question and a "Hero Member" or "Sr. Member" replies, then it’s more likely that person knows what they’re talking about. This is of course a very simplified metric, but useful.
