Under our name and 'Title' there are squares. Some people have three, some two, some 1. What are the purpose of these?

My guess is that it indicates how many ranks you've been. For instance, I have under 55 posts, so I have one square. You're past 55, so you have two, Alternate Strickland has more than 88, so he has 3, and so on.

Bingo! You got it right on the money. The squares represent how many ranks you've gone thorugh.

Crevax is correct. And the correct term for the "squares" are pips. I think I'll make this a sticky topic.
