July 1, 20215 yr Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, But my 'status' stuff appears to have completely changed, I am apparently a mere 'Newbie' (joined 2015!) And now have had a notification today that I have been awarded a 'Badge' - a 'Dedication' badge (apparently I have been spending far too long on-line on this site each day haha). More surprising is that I have apparently already been awarded all sorts of other badges. Its a bit like being back in the Boy Scouts again and collecting proficiency badges on your sleeve. But still ranked a Newbie?? haha. Makes up for our 'rep points' having apparently disappeared I suppose. Can someone explain all this to me please (nice simple language - I am getting old!), or at least point me in the direction of where it has already been explained. Many thanks, Postscript: starting this thread has apparently just earned me a 'Conversation Starter' badge! The excitement mounts!
July 1, 20215 yr I don't know what all that stuff means, either. But I just sit back and watch my collection of badges and awards grow. Some threads which were previously blocked now accessible to me. I'm guessing it's because I've made a specified number of posts. Or maybe I have earned a special badge.

July 1, 20215 yr It was an update change that we were unaware of. We are working with Invision to resolve it and have all old posts counted as well.
July 2, 20215 yr Here are the names / numbers of members for each rank that are set in the system. Newbie 977 members 0 points Rookie 244 members 40 points Apprentice 142 members 90 points Explorer 42 members 185 points Contributor 66 members 250 points Enthusiast 70 members 400 points Collaborator 44 members 800 points Community Regular 18 members 1,300 points Rising Star 13 members 1,950 points Proficient 19 members 2,600 points Experienced 14 members 3,900 points Mentor 23 members 5,200 points Veteran 11 members 9,100 points Grand Master 21 members 13,000 points
July 3, 20215 yr My ranking has increased a notch every single day this week! I have no idea how points are allocated, but surely no one can move so quickly up the various rankings? I'll soon be vaulteing through the glass ceiling or be spattered on a lead roof!

I have no idea how points are allocated, but surely no one can move so quickly up the various rankings? I'll soon be vaulteing through the glass ceiling or be spattered on a lead roof! Invision required me to rebuild the database in order for previous activity, posts, etc. to show as part of the ranking system. That took a few days as it ran in the background. But, it is impressive the number of guys with so many points, badges.
July 3, 20215 yr I think I managed to rack up around 1200 posts under my old handle, a447a. I see my avatar has somehow become attached to that name, too. Can those posts be added to my new handle? If so, I'd go flying up the chart and have badges coming out of my ears.
July 3, 20215 yr Author Wow, you are right, on Thursday I was a mere novice, now three days later I am 'experienced'! - who would have thought? I can walk with a bit more of a swagger now

I can walk with a bit more of a swagger now I guess that all depends in what you got more experienced at and for how long perhaps !!? :-))
July 3, 20215 yr Im just glad that it seems I've quickly made it past the "collaborator" stage - as we all know how THAT usually ends up i.e a firing squad at dawn and being buried in a hole in the ground in the woods somewhere ! :-)

July 3, 20215 yr Author More news! I have just been awarded my 'Very Popular' badge! I just want to say how humbled I am by this award, and I want to start by thanking my ......... (etc. etc. ad nauseam ...)

July 4, 20215 yr Surely Grand Master sounds a bit too much like chess? Maybe others could come up with more appropriate suggestions for some of the categories. Like Desirable Dick Wondrous Wanker Slurpy Sucker Prolific Poofter Fabulous Fucker
July 4, 20215 yr Creative there @PeterRS Here are the ones we had previously: Curious 0 Dangling 50 Aroused 100 Tumescent 250 Esteemed 500 Prodigious 750 Olympian 1000+ We then had ones past 1,000 but I can't find the records yet. That said, yours are much more creative!
