I joined in March 2018, so I don’t know what it was like before then, but I don’t think anybody had any privileges on the last version. :slightly_smiling_face:

A Basic user, despite the name :slightly_smiling_face:, has pretty much the same functionality as everyone else, apart from uploading photos (you have to graduate to Member for that, but it only takes a couple of weeks :+1:).

Most of the extra stuff is to make things more convenient (once you’ve figured out what everything does :slightly_smiling_face:). The only things you really need are reading and typing and you’re sorted. :+1: (and the Search is fantastic on here now too)

If you need a practice of anything you can have a play in the Sandbox, and feel free to ask any forum-related questions in there too, and we’ll see if we can point you to the right place. :slightly_smiling_face:

What’s with ppls profiles hidden?
Used to friend request before but can’t see anything like that :thinking:

Profiles are Hidden by default, so I think that’s catching a lot of people out. Yours is hidden at the moment too, but you can change that in Preferences → Interface, and you uncheck the ‘Hide my public profile and presence features’ box. :+1:

There’s no friend requests any more. They kept them on the last version as a legacy feature, but without the Chat it didn’t really make any sense, as you couldn’t do much else with them. :slightly_smiling_face:

It might be worth having a look at the Disco bot thread if you’re struggling with anything, the tutorials cover most of the features of the new forum quite well

I wonder about the hidden profile thing. Just don’t reveal too much.It is nice to know a few basic details though.

141

I’ve nothing to hide. Though one of my kids is old enough to be on here now :scream: That would be awkward :rofl::rofl:

@Puppies77 i know what you mean, but just the basics that give no hint to identity would probably be fine.

Just in case you missed it, @Puppies77 is actually a member from some years ago (10 :scream:). They may know that bit already. :slightly_smiling_face:

Edit: Is that better? :slightly_smiling_face:

@Ian_Chimp yes, just discussing hidden profiles, not suggesting anything! Often it would be handy to at least know gender to save embarrassment or offence.

146

Sorry buddy, I didn’t think you were suggesting anything. :slightly_smiling_face: I’ll stop digging myself any deeper… :slightly_smiling_face:

Does the Nice/Good/Great Reply badge actually work currently? I was just wondering as I’ve got well over 25 likes on a couple of posts and i was wondering if i was misunderstanding the badge description or if it’s not working properly

The photo ones don’t count anymore as the category is restricted to ‘account holders’ only, so appears to be ineligible for Badges. :+1:

I flagged a post a few days ago but didn’t receive a badge. Felt a bit of a tell tale flagging it too :joy:

I think for the Badge you need to Flag a post (not a topic), and it can’t be ‘something else’. :+1:

I believe you can go Flag yourself :slightly_smiling_face: (and I think that counts too :+1:)
