Clare Posted December 29, 2021 Report Posted December 29, 2021 An all expenses paid holiday out of Gillingham to anywhere would do me! Thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this. All looks great and much appreciated. I've tried clicking on Grand Master and Recent Badges and I can't see the explanation. Where do I need to click instead please? 2 Quote

Where do I need to click instead please? If you click on the ‘badges earned’ it will take you to a list of all the badges. The top will tell you your percentage. You can also access it by clicking on the icon in your avatar that appears when you post. 1 Quote

benjy Posted December 29, 2021 Report Posted December 29, 2021 It’s looking good! Liking the round avatars and little achievement icons Would be nice to get a new logo at the top instead of just text. I’m a graphic designer - happy to look at some designs if that’s of interest! 3 Quote

If it's something you'd like to do for the site, I'd be very grateful! Graphics have never been my forte; everything looks like I've opened MS Paint. (Because I have.) 1 1 Quote

Starmaker73 Posted December 30, 2021 Report Posted December 30, 2021 Aww well done on all the changes/updates. The Board looks great. I do love my little achievement status thingie, and am well chuffed with all my badges. I know I don't post on here that often, but that's kinda because I'm a bit intimidated by the 'grand masters' (my issue, not theirs, as everyone is just lovely) and always feel like my opinion isn't as valid. But I am going to make an effort to post more so that I can get up to mentor status. LOL! I might even commit to the cause fully, and get myself a wee avatar. 4 Quote

Thank you! I really like the redesign after having a day to get used to it - I never put out opinions first viewing as it's always "ooh, not sure I like change" then. But yes, I think it's clearer in some ways. 1 Quote

The badges are cool, aren't they? I think we could have some fun coming up with new ones - and you've got one of the rare ones too! I know how it feels to feel intimidated; I tend to lurk elsewhere on the internet, so I really feel you - but all opinions are very welcome, and you are super welcome to post. I look forward to seeing your progress to Mentor! 3 1 Quote

wizardt™ Posted December 30, 2021 Report Posted December 30, 2021 Thanks very much for all your work on the upgrade, Sal - looks fab, and excited for my new crown! 11 hours ago, Benji said: I see the emojis display in an Android style now. @wizardt™ will be pleased. Bye-bye iPhone style emojis. I only really use the 'classic' smileys most of the time - etc - as they are by far my faves, so not sure I'd have noticed! But you're right that my instincts more broadly are iPhone-sceptical. @Starmaker73 Do keep posting! Love to hear everyone's opinions on the board, and we Grand Masters' orthodoxies need challenging sometimes (Android changed it to 'orthodontics' three times without my input - does iPhone do this @Benji?) 2 Quote

No. It recognised the word ‘orthodoxy’ and did not autocorrect, so therefore iPhone is the “Grand Master” of smartphones. Guess I will have to get used to Android’s blob emojis now. @Starmaker73 Just remember that us “Grand Masters” all started from the same place as yourself. It took me so long to find my voice and to step into threads and post. 3 Quote
