I was wondering if this is how it works.  Nice addition.

It didn't used to be. Confused, Sad, and Angry were "neutral" Reactions that didn't award points, as only Thanks, Like, and Love did. Now they all will award a point.

 

The point system is just some cheesy built-in feature of the board software, lol.

Who are the two new moderators?

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that. We have decided to not allow bumping old posts anymore, except by special request.

[Friends just call me Ross]

The board's new color scheme is greatly appreciated.

It does remind me of our meeting workbooks and it makes me smile every time I pop in for a visit.

One thing I have noticed with the new changes to this forum, and I am not sure if it is serious, but I have noticed that three of us stand separate from all the squares that appear to be posting. Tortuga, I never had thought of you as a square before.

 

                  

Three of us opposed by so many so many squares!

Et Tu Rocket?     

[Brother_Bliss]

I have no idea why people were insistent on uploading round avatars

[GrumpysWife]

I know, I miss the turtle.

Why do we have dots above our avatar?

Can that be changed?

That's a ranking thing based on the number of posts you've made. The more posts you make, the more dots you see and your member title changes through a preset list. After 1000 posts you get to change your own title, like you have ("Read this...")

 

I can make it a custom image instead of a pip, but I do like the simplicity of the pip. Maybe an energy meter?

How many posts does one need to have before he/she gets to be Administrator/Staff/Head Programmer?

I'm pretty sure it isn't a point based system...
