Does anyone know what those mean? i now have 2 yellow ones and i am wondering if that is good.

Those will just increase as you move up user ranks in the forum, having a higher post count.

Awesome how do we see all the ranks?

Honestly, I don't feel like thats what is important. I think user ranks promotes the use of spam and a competition to see who can have the higher post count. As I have stated in another thread, I respect a forum user much more for the quality of their posts rather than how many times they can post things like "Nice!" , "Mee to" , "I agree" and other posts that really do not matter, especially ones where people do not even spend the time to make sure that obvious grammatical errors are corrected.

e.g " omg, thts so awesmem, that would be the coolesttt thing evar!! "

Note: nothing against anyone in particular in these forums

Curt is correct. The rank is there to promote seniority as well as activity. That is why you will find it extremely difficult to attain more stars the more you post. Because at a certain point, you should realize you get more respect for a long consistency of quality posts rather than hundreds of quick remarks.

I will not be revealing all the ranks as that would make earning them a lot less fun. They cap at 10,000 posts, and there are no rewards for earning them.

EDIT: Also, there is a board for this kind of stuff in Feedback + Support. Utilize it.

i think its a cool idea seeing how many times a person has posted
