markus, i havent noticed any extra capability to actually do anything 'more' as my level has increased (currently at senior member).  do you have any examples?

If you click onto your user name --> user group, you'll find a summary of permitted actions. I only see the "The max length of the signature"  and "A single max attachment size" vakue changing lol.

But you're right, nothing notisable yet, however, I'm hoping that DJI will apply beneficial changes soon.

Privileges?  Yeah, right... In name only.  I'm supposed to have the capability make a signature file and embed an image code in it.  Heck, I've had "App remind (14)" up at the top of the page for days and I have no idea what in blue blazes it means.  I would gladly trade in 1000 of my valuable credits just so I wouldn't have to go through this dang VERIF code process!
(seriously now, they can't even spell VERIFY correctly!)

maybe the guy who wrote the code is named Verif, gil?  if so, i would suggest he DIAF

Okay thanks. If its to good to be true it probably is
