Chalkie Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 So I noticed today that you now have to hover over an icon to get someone's exact post count and there is this new icon that when you hover over it says "Newbie 1/14". It is say that for everyone even the long time members like Kirk. Can anyone explain, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Doubtful. Even the post count has changed several times since we've joined. Never any explanation.

sandsys Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 That "waving" hand is simply irritating in my opinion. It adds nothing.

Since the forums are not hosed in-house, I am going to guess that the host server did some sort of update that caused it. Since the IT department doesn't have anyone who works weekends, I'll see what I can find out on Monday. I had not noticed that change either until I read this post.

ms60ocb Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Very interesting. I don't follow the Badges shown on my Profile page. I have 3 badges where Chalkie has 5 badges. There seems to be up to 14 difference badges.

My guess is that this will simply be based on post count since the update. Most "rankings" on message boards are done this way. Not much different than simply listing the number of posts as has been done all along.

Your post count is below your screen name and picture, expressed as 1.3k. I have no clue about the badges significance. One says "posting machine" with a tiny number encircled?

If it were up to me, there would be no numbers of posts shown. I have to chuckle when someone complains about new things and at the same time says that they don't matter. 😊 Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

Ray,IN Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I just received an Apprentice badge; what does that mean? This is my third apprenticeship, once after Westinghouse Electric tool and die maker school and once with Hobart welding school.

Maybe if you stick around long enough they will make you a journeyman? I noticed that I am now an apprentice too! I sent an email to IT to see what they know of this change but have not heard back.
