    Well, well, well.  That was not showing up a few minutes ago, but I clicked on my user ID after Mr Perfect posted this, and my "LOL" counter is working now.  Life is good now!

    Anyone got a "promote" or an "abuse" rating yet? LOL!

    It's because someone has to LOL at your content.

    I have no idea how to promote, or what can be promoted, for that matter.

    I'm not sure if I should welcome my "ancient" badge or not!

    I got two promotions.  Not real sure why or how that will affect my life going forward, but I got 'em, by golly!

    Any idea how "points" are earned?  They seem to be a good thing (unlike abuse ratings).

    Some of you folks are just lucky I guess.  I have no anniversary badges, and I have been here more way more than 10 years.  Looks like several other members are missing their anniversary badges as well.

    @Mr. Perfect  (trying to get my Name Dropper badge :))
    No idea on earning points.  Trying to figure that out. 
    I believe you are correct that "abuse" ratings are probably a bad thing, maybe that is what you get if a post is flagged?

    I don't see any promotions under your user ID either.

    LOL!

    Went up a couple of points in the last few minutes, maybe a point for each post in the new forum format?

    Got my Name Dropper badge during my last post!

    Life is good! B)

    Maybe it was badges??  I don't know enough about this promotion/badge stuff to really have a clue!

    Nope, just went and looked at my e-mail and it said I was promoted to Level 2 and then a couple minutes later got another telling me I was promoted to Level 3.

    Click on your user ID to see your badges/reactions.  This is what I see:

    So I got two e-mails saying I'd been promoted, but on my profile page it shows 0 promotes.... 

    Curiouser and curiouser...    Are 'promotes' something someone else gives you?

    Not sure on that.  Wait and see what happens. 

    Pretty sure if you get an "abuse" that is bad.  You will NOT LOL :o

    That just has to do with your member status... see the three stars you have? I think there is supposed to be a way to promote someone's content.

    And now the dialog box for comment entry is different. Weird. Guess TPTB are changing stuff.

    Amazing that nobody has yet posted "We don't need no steeenking badges!"


    I'm going to rate such things right up there with post count and member level - utterly meaningless.


    As I've mentioned in other threads, let's let the geeks tinker with this thing before we start complaining or making demands.

    Who is making demands or complaining?

    We're already seeing posts about things that don't work or features that aren't available yet. That fits my characterization of complaining and demanding. Both are premature.

    Simmer down, gentlemen. We've barely been up and running for 24 hours. Lets give it a few more days. GB Marketing, who apparently never sleeps, is working on activating more features, as well as trying to find out why some features- which should be working, don't. She emailed me this morning informing me of a few things which will be updated. In the meantime, a lot of so called features, such as badges, are "fluff" and are essentially meaningless in our particular forum.

    I want GM Marketing to focus her attention on features which we can actually use- color font for instance. Members like using color in their posts, and so do I. Let's all relax and ride this out.

    For those that are more annoyed by participation trophies like these, you can thankfully shut that function off where you at least won't get notified. The link below or click on one of the emails they sent, click on the ellipses by your username. Or, using the link below, type your username in after /preferences/
