Hi folks The 'Supporting Member' status is a function of the marketplace, which we can't avoid. Basically, ages ago we wrote our own code to allow the marketplatz to work, because Invision (who make the software) didn't have an out of the box solution. This took a long time, required a LOT of manual maintenance and constant monitoring, but it worked. Since ten, advancements have been made to the 'in house' system, which we are now able to slowly adopt (in parts) to take that strain out of the system. We can't use it fully yet as it doesn't allow some things like 'location' and so on but it does maintain and tidy up the database and renewals for us. To do that, users have to be moved into a different group. On top of that, the intention is to remove adverts one day if we can get more people to subscribe, and already it seems to be having a positive effect. The 'Rank' are a new system, designed to be a bit of fun. It seems like it kind of replaces, or enhances, the 'reaction' system with our 'watts' reputation system. We turned it on to give it a try and plan at some point to design better badges, but really, it's not to be taken seriously (like anything on BC?). The designs are the stock ones and we had a play with some different types, but haven't got round to doing anything with that yet whilst we sort other things. The 'Badges' are intertwined with the above, and to be honest I don't think they make a lot of sense, plus the badges are a bit ugly. Again, I wrote some random 'rules' yesterday that case a badge to be issued, and plan on either changing them or removing them, it does't really matter - I think they're aimed more at new users to encourage them to participate and make their first post, etc. Which at the end of the day is better for all of us. You're free to ignore them if you don't like them Cheers ped

Make sure you have the correct theme turned on

Well spotted, sorted!

You’ve searched ‘everything’ not just ‘topics’ so it’s showing status updates too

Hi mike Instead if the BBcode (the one with ‘img’ either end) just paste in the direct link and the pic will appear

It’s a dirt pedal - it’s growing on me 😆

I don't have a pedalboard as such but witness my pedal shelf! (Not shown - Source Audio C4 and Future Impact)

Obviously... ..actually we can't, the bump button isn't installed in the wanted forum.

We can only change what we can. I’ll have a look but not sure how hard that is and if it’ll mess other things up. Leave it with us.

We don’t make the software so can only use what they provide unfortunately. I don’t think there’s an option to customise the font or the way it displays.

Always the biggest downside of a headless design!

I think that refers to clicking the title, but clicking the blob should always take you to first unread

There are some ads there which you must be blocking. I’m hoping to remove ads one day but can’t afford to unless more people subscribe Your ad blocker should block the frame of the ads too, so you lose the space

The behaviour of post counting will be the same at the moment. I’ll have a play next week and see how it all works. It’s likely that those rules will change and all posts will count otherwise it gets a bit complicated.

Liking one of my posts = 100 points

If you click another members rank I think. You can see your own and how many points to get the next in your own profile. Next week I’ll be sharing the system that shows what actions equal what points, for example starting a thread can be 10 points, replying can be 2, reacting can be 1, and so on.

Some poor snaps of mine, had to go one by one as office sofa is smorl

Looks ok to me. It’s ordered by last activity, and if that last activity was a bump using the bump button then it doesn’t appear as ‘last post’ if you see what I mean.

Thanks guys, we've found the problem - it should work now!

OK cool in that case can you click 'shop' then 'yearly sub' and paste the link here, display as a link instead of embedded?

OK thanks chaps does this link work https://www.basschat.co.uk/store/product/2-marketplace-yearly-subscription/

Can you send me the error you get?

Oh rly? Should do - works for me... anyone else?
