Why is everyone a newbie?

[Peter HK]

Hi Frank

I see everyone is being assigned newbie status- even those who have posted for years. 

Some glitch?

Cheers

Newbie status?

 

edit: Aha. 15 years and over 3,000 posts and I'm a newbie.

Does that mean I get to turn back the clock 11 years?

[Frank Hagan]

That's a new feature the software has. They indicated it would look at post count and time as a member, but obviously it didn't do that! I'll have to dig into the config and fix it! I don't want any of you thinking you're getting younger.

[Chick Ludwig]

But, I WANNA think I'm younger!!!

[Frank Hagan]

Well, afraid to tell you that you have the highest rank, Grand Master, which means you must be very, very old! Like me!

[Chick Ludwig]

Well, us older boaters never die---we just get a little dinghy!  ...and leaky bottoms!

 

[Frank Hagan]

With all these really really old people around here I may need to add more ranks than just 14 of them! Or adjust the point values so there's some differentiation between all of us!

@Frank Hagan— I thought maybe you had hired a private detective take a close work at some of my work.  The private eye would have said “This guy looks like a newbie to me!”
