Make Contributor that has Aqua or Nova too be able to see threads without replying
Why would someone work for Contributor if he has to switch back to Aqua or Nova because he can't see the threads....
I also see that the status is gray instead of colored like Aqua and Nova has , same with Royal status color
It has been an "issue" for a lot of time, so I think it just works as intended. The ranking system would need a whole recode from scratch to make your suggestion a thing
With the gray status I think you mean the member title? It seems to be only on reverser, moderator and all three paid usergroups a thing. Disinfector, trial moderator, developer, coder, retired and even custom usergroups doesn't have it. (Pretty sure I am missing some UGs)
