I understand that in order to view a GR member no. you hover the mouse over their name. I've tried this but seem to get only a 3-digit number when I do it. It did work once for me but now it doesn't. Would someone please try it for me and let me know if it happens to them? Thanks Aileenx

Yours is only 3121 Sam, does it depend on how long you've been a member? Sam

Aileen - is it possible that the box the number appears in is extra-short in your browser? Is your browser in a full-size window? If it is, can you extend the length of the box? Or is there already some blank space after the three digits you can see? Kate.

Aileen I can't see the number by hovering over the name so I do a right click on the name and then click Properties to find the number. Heather

Natalie I think most people use the numbers to work out, roughly, when someone became a member when comparing with their own....Higher the number more recent the membership. Chris
