Richard Farrant Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Something has happened to the forum today and we appear to have been awarded different types of badges. Having been a member of this forum for 16 years now, why am I labelled as a 'Newbie', makes no sense at all. Another gimmick from the forum server no doubt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBelle Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Me too. I sent a message to Admin to inform them and to request reinstatement of my previous to the 19th, status. 'They' had also awarded me some badges....so said the new 'never been seen before' type of notifications. Weird or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I was wondering yesterday what had happened, I thought I had missed a notification or a thread on the forum explaining the new status badges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surveyor Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Having just posted I have been congratulated on my 10th and 500th post both at the same time., that was a long time ago. Under badges I know have 6, but the time line does not reflect this. All those confused please raise their hand Edited June 21, 2021 by Surveyor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rootes75 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Another question, why when browsing do some members have a badge against them and then others dont? And I do note this is both newer and older members, posts wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 So, as usual each morning I have a browse through the updated threads on the forum, I hit the like button on a couple and when I did it on the third it tells me I have reached the maximum for the day?? So are we now capped at how many reactions we can make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel7 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I had a Notification this morning. I thought it might be important, but no, it was telling me I have been 'awarded' badges. The whole thing seems very childish. I despised such meaningless "rewards" when I was a child, and my views haven't changed. I would like to prevent any such Notifications from the awards system if I could, but apparently I can't, so I have to live with the irritation it causes, or leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Having been a member of this forum for nearly 16 years, it is a bit of an insult to be told you now have your 1 year badge. This gimmick is ridiculous on a long established forum as it does not appear to take account of anything other than the past year. Also it is obviously annoying members going by the responses on this thread. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I have to say i did like the rank system as it showed you what was going on but it was disabled when the upgrade was done. The badges being awarded appear to be random when they appear and as Richard says annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I thought the rank system was good, to me it just showed you who was using the forum a lot and what sort of contribution they were making. I would also say it sort of went on in the background, this badge system giving notifications all the time, like how far you are away from the next badge is irritating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I have just noticed that badges are now appearing on the imoji for the person but there is no where on the site that a visitor can see what they mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
