Blake Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 why does it now say poo-bah next to my name and have a smiley face? what happened to the angry "kiwi-wanker" nickname? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkporwit Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) I'd venture that the icon and the "poo-bah" are probably both the results of the most recent software upgrade... The smiley face shows up when you're logged in to the forum and browsing. Otherwise it shows you as having a gray "sleeping" face. And the new software probably also trashed the custom title settings... I see for example that mattp is no longer an Alpine Buddy but merely a sprayer... Of course one of the forum admins can probably give a more definite answer. Edited November 7, 2007 by mkporwit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 forum upgrade? what forum upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Partly correct. The upgrade did indeed trash the custom titles, and has replaced them with the default titles based upon post count (see the FAQ). You could prolly get one of the mods to give you your custom title back, but I have seen that when they do that, you will have two titles (the default and the custom) and they can't do anything about it. It's in the software. The face thingie is the "moodz" that everyone's been asking about. Go the the upper right of your screen, where it says [Log out] and you will see a matching face. Click on the "down arrow" and you can select a new mood. If you are offline, you get the gray sleeping graemlin. Your welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottP Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 pooh-bah ( ) n. An official or leader who maintains full control as by holding several offices. A pompous ostentatious official, especially one who, holding many offices, fulfills none of them. High-muck-a-muck: an arrogant or conceited person of importance. Sounds like most of those who post on a regular basis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Master: 1. a person with the ability or power to use, control, or dispose of something: a master of six languages; to be master of one's fate. 2. an owner of a slave, animal, etc. 3. an employer of workers or servants. 4. the male head of a household. 5. a person eminently skilled in something, as an occupation, art, or science: the great masters of the Impressionist period.
