Hello, I'm new to MyLoat and I have seen that many users have stars of different colours near their nickname; what do they mean? And what is the meaning of the number inside them? Thank you for your answers.

Once you reach 100 points, you will get a star. The star is your rating on the site. It is based on how people have marked your answers to questions and questions that you have asked (like those little + and - boxes).

When you reach the 100 posting, you get a star...the number inside that star is your rating.
