YukonJack Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Ok, I'm confused. Logged on today and learned I got my 1 Year In Badge. What is that? Who came up with this nonsense? According to my profile I've been in this group since 2006. Actually I was in the original group since about 2000 before it changed to this format. Plus I noticed I'm a Newbie, really. How did that happen? 10 years ago I wasn't a newbie. I don't see many people left on here from when I started in 2000. I check in from time to time but seldom post anything. So after 20 years in the group I get my 1 year status and I'm a Newbie. What an insult. 2 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I agree, too much fluff....then again, I am not one that deals with change very well as it is....after this posting I got an alert my first post, then it goes to a page of fluff that I care not to see...this is an action that is in my book....a very WEIRD action...

YukonJack Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Posted December 21, 2021 Congratulations to me. This post just got me my Conversation Starter Badge! Yippee! It only took me 20 years. Maybe I'll have my Boy Scout Badges when I'm 70. Quote
greg g Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I got the same notification yesterday, and like Jack I have been a member since 2001 or before. Mus have been the result of the site revision that just happened. I also got a badge for number of posts or similar, 19000, posts in a year, wow. Edited December 21, 2021 by greg g 1 Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 If it was the I DON'T PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS I could accept that badge.....!!!!!!!!! In all seriousness this is totally juvenile, can't think of a better term to describe it... I am almost afraid to go looking at other features.....lol 1 1 Quote
RobertKB Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Let’s give the administrator of the site some time to sort things out before everyone starts moaning about something of not great concern. There are many things in life that are much more serious. Time to wear big boy pants. Edit - I’ve been a member since 2006 so also a long time member. I’ve dealt with many things worse than a glitch in a well run forum. Edited December 21, 2021 by RobertKB 2 Quote

If you happy with frivolous pages and alerts popping up that is no concern to anything...then by all means let your words speak only for yourself....do not include me into your like thinking.... However, like many here I am thinking things will return to some bit normality but ONLY AFTER the issues are pointed out. Edited December 21, 2021 by Plymouthy Adams 1 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 just turned the ACHIEVEMENT notification to OFF... Quote
John Reddie Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 I just got a badge too. Member since 2006 as well. John R Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 you can eliminate this push of fluff by visiting your profile, account setting, notification settings...acheivements.....uncheck the box and get this pop up gone... Quote
knuckleharley Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Don't feel lonesome. I have been here since 2006 also,post at least once a week,and am still listed as a "newbie". Quote
Matt Wilson Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) I got my 1-year badge this morning too, LOL. I'm not as active as many of you guys, but I have been a member since 2012. Oh, well, it doesn't bother me. If I start getting too many pop-ups (like the Reacts Well notification I received a few minutes ago), then that could start to get annoying, but otherwise, I don't really care, as I have very little interest in status. My biggest concern, by far, is the sharing of information and helping each other. Edited December 21, 2021 by Matt Wilson Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 the trival stuff is of little concern to me for the same reason, not relating to the support of the old cars and help folks are looking to get. The pop up notifications I did not like and found the means to turn them off...the rest....not important.... Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 I just got a notice that I received a "Newbe" award. I have got 1 of 14 ranks!? I am very pleased...I'm making progress. 1 Quote
Sam Buchanan Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) The forum got a software update yesterday, I suspect a bunch of stuff got modified by the "upgrade". Edited December 21, 2021 by Sam Buchanan Quote
JBNeal Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 I caught myself griping at millennials and their nonsense on the TV the other day...then changed the channel to Bob Ross making happy little clouds and my disposition improved...but only slightly... 2 Quote
wayfarer Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 Looks like some real fuzzy math to me...2008 to 2021 somehow equals 1 year...? Obviously, well to me anyhow, is that the IT folks just don't bother to look at the totality of the changes they make. At least they didn't wipe our history.... Quote
keithb7 Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 My wife gave me a badge recently. “Biggest whiner of the year about Old Mopar parts prices.” I was a runner-up also, for “Gets in a rage the quickest, over freight costs to Canada”. 2 Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted December 21, 2021 Report Posted December 21, 2021 I live under a constant blue cloud but it is due to not finding what I need...I can have it in my hand and two minutes later start a 1 hour search for the item...NO ONE and I mean NO ONE can misplace an item as quick as myself.
