No idea at all, but I have more of them than you do. I hope they are not something derogatory!

I'm guessing suspenders means something different in your world to what it means in mine. I hope so, anyway.

From a post made to answer a similar question on the Simple Machines forum (this board runs Simple Machines software):

Quote from: Arantor
The colour of the square is attached to the group the user is in.

For instance on this forum, you've made 1 post. On a default installation, 1 post puts you in to the Newbie group (less than 10 posts I think it is, could be wrong), and that's one yellow pip. Higher groups have more pips.

On a default installation, 5 red pips for administrator, 5 blue pips for global moderator, 5 green pips for board moderator and 1-5 yellow pips for post counts.

This is all configurable in the admin panel; here for example my badge (SMF Friend) is configured through exactly the same system attached to my group (SMF Friend)

  I figure they are just a measure of how opinionated I have become, measured by counting posts.
 It has taken me 13 years' maybe 14, to get that opinionated on this site.  I have even had to re-register
 a number of times because of system crashes.  Once I was the first one to re - register but the system crashed again in about a day and I was way down the line when I finally got back on.

These squares yet confound us
Still no reason has found us

If I give shame a name
It's that HUZO I blame

His perplexing is vexing and his query most hexing
Were those dogs yet a sleeping and thoughts less a creeping
I'd sleep sounder nightly, my world just and rightly

Stop, HUZO
Drink booze-o    (Yeah, it happens)
Let sleeping dogs snooze-o    (what? Again?)

The squares were always there
Effecting no care
Now I can't help but stare
I'm now ever aware

C'mon HUZO who asked you?
What demon has tasked you?

We red binder snappers
We ethernet nappers
Did nothing to hurt you and yet must we curse you

Our shame, now it came
Is yours truly in name
Mayhap cheese squares to blame
And still I exclaim
Must we HUZO defame!.. It's both player and game


Todd.

Well I don't have the Ouzo. But I did try to say it three times fast. I went for a bicycle ride this afternoon and remembered to say it just as I crested a hill just north of here and was hopping the chain from the mid to the outer ring. But ack! As I said it three times fast I got my tongue all tangled in the right side Rapid Fire and skipped two cogs and nearly crashed as the expected pedal effort was not as attained. Then I still had to stop, thereby wasting my initial momentum, to untangle. And my tongue still hurts.

Would it have gone better with the Ouzo?
