Somebody Changed The Parameters

[JimLucas]

All of a sudden I find that not only do I have four tiles instead of three, and a new title of "Chatty Concertinist", but so do a lot of other folks with numbers of total posts which previously would have earned them only three tiles and a title of "Advanced Member".

 

Does this mean that Ken or Paul is learning more about how to configure the Forum software?

And Newbie has become New Member. I'm sure you're right. Excellent!

Edited to add this postscript : they've owned up! Just here.

Uh, gee guys, this isn't meant to be a secret or a surprise. I posted this on Official Announcements within minutes of doing it. Maybe that doesn't show up your "View new posts" but it (the latest official notice) does get a line near the top of overview of forums page. The software is actually easy to configure. What I need to learn is how to survive a day with nutty 15-year-olds with enough energy left to edit the software.

 

The software calls them "pips" rather than tiles.

 

Jim will discover a new title for himself before long. (grin)

I'm very much looking forward to seeing that. Thanks very much for the change. It's silly, I know, but it did niggle me.

I can't wait to see the new title that will be next to Jim when he has 5 pips. . . Chatter Extraordinaire?? Sage of the Squeezebox?? Concertinist Verbum Maximus??

That moment has now arrived. ROFL indeed.
