SMF gives administrator newbie status

How to stop SMF administrator being given newbie status
When first setup, SMF gives the administrator the status ‘newbie’
To get around this problem, simply go to your admin menu, select ‘members’, select the admin member, and click on ‘account related settings’ in the menu to the left.
Then simply change the ‘posts’ to a much higher number - a minimum of 500 posts can make you a geek like me, instead of a newbie 
Here’s to a new year as an administrator with ‘hero’ status in SMF, instead of Newbie!!
P.S. It doesn’t matter whether you are running SMF in a standalone configuration or using the JoomlaHacks SMF to Joomla Bridge - this advice still works!

You can also go to Admin>Configuration>Current Theme and then check the box that says “Hide post group titles for grouped members.”
