Noticed a change at the side of post around members names etc, seems it also can’t count, showing member for 15 years yet I joined in 02\07 after I got my first S2, I liked the old style, change for changes sake?

 

The badge takes the place of the old stars which were in 5-year increments, so in February 2027, your 15-year badge should automatically switch to the 20-year badge.

 

Its a trick. It actually changes based upon how mature we are acting that day. Mine is stuck at 10 for some reason ...

 

 

 

Ok, worked out the green dot is for “online”.

 

Ah shucks... Gotta wait 1 year for my 15 badge...
Although I owned my first S in 2003... Harrumph!

 

Checking my badge.

 

But why such a drastic change? Seeing exactly how many years someone is an owner is kinda the point? I guess one can just look at the join date... but why not just make it show the exact number vs 5 year increments? 11 years vs 15 is a big difference.

Was there a reason you couldn't do the stars anymore? I thought they were cool.

Just me asking, thanks.
