You may have noticed in your house, you have a message that says "Current priv (Can't be changed): <number>". Chances are you got to this page by clicking on the word priv. Your priv is your member privilege level. For most members, this number is between 90 and 101. A priv enables you to do something special on Elftown -- be it uploading an image directly to a wiki-page, banning a member, or editing Main Street. The following information describes what these strange and mystical numbers enable and who generally has them.

Priv 101
This is the priv of the normal member. All new members have this priv. It doesn't enable any special features.

Priv 100
If you select that you want to be a member of the Elftown Crew in your presentation, your priv will be 100. It doesn't enable anything, either.

Priv 99
A priv of 99 enables a member to upload any image type and size to a wiki-page, using the wiki-upload option in the right side bar. Press the "Upload a file" button to make the upload box appear. It also enables the ability to invite other members to join Elftown -- a link to inviting members will appear on Main Street, and in your house. (Inviting bypasses the application process.)

Priv 94
Priv 94 enables you to upload any file to a wiki-page. It is mostly used for artists who wish to upload their works in formats other than general images. The upload box is used the exact same way the image upload box is. If you have this priv, please do not upload copyrighted files or large files to Elftown. If you want to upload a large file that you created, message [Hedda] first.

Priv 90
Priv 90 is the lowest priv a normal member can have. It enables the use of the iframe tag.
