Fresh!

Well after a much anticipated wait, I refresh the page to be welcomed with a gentle baby blue colour on my favourite forum. 
Immediately I thought that ole pussy cat Kerching has had some input into this?? 
 

so is there anything new that we should be aware of? I note the ease of adding a new topic button.

Hold on I've time travelled!! 
 

on posting this topic I get a notification to say I’ve earned a rank? Only to find it’s a NEWBIE and dated Feb 2012, that’s apparently when I joined and all these posts later I’ve earned nothing else!!

Did they also take down Facebook by mistake?

I don’t think that’s a mistake!!

the four dots(not that i knew what they meant anyway) are gone and now we have ranks , do we need to give way to a higher rank, or bow down( lower the bow, higher the rank) 

I am just looking for guidance 

 

[Pops]

Dots, what dots? How have is missed them?

I feel somewhat inadequate now. But respectfully bowing all the same  :Salute

It’s a shame that we all lost our posting history when we transferred to the new supposedly faster host, which needed us to update to the latest version of the software.

The Germans have a good word for this:

Schlimmbesserung

An upgrade where you lose functionality

Well I've been promoted from ."rising star" to the much sought after 'dedicated" badge ranking . 

My question is 'can by Jimmy ( open brackets ' nonce' close brackets ) points be converted to forum badges?

i am thinking of getting one of those Breton  style Jack Hargreaves hats  and pinning all my badges to it, or maybe a fleece with a howling wolf or Indian scene on the back.

anyway since I have achieved this exalted status I feel able to answer any questions that I can be bothered to
