meterman Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Don’t fully understand how the badges system works but when we last moved house I did find a box with some of my old badges from the late 70s and early 80s. Didn’t know I still had them. These badges made me feel old. But it’s okay, I am old 😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are they stinking and what are they stinking of? I cannot smell anything. I even sniffed the computer screen but just cannot smell anything. What am I doing wrong? Please help! Maybe you should get a covid test. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) 4 hours ago, Nicko said: Just as a trial, I checked out your list. My profile said 473 points from the next level. A post in off topic leaves it unchanged. A "Thanks" TLRT on your post gave me 3 points. Whoopee. EDIT: Replying to your post gave me 2 points. EDIT: But editing my own post gives 0. The "points" you speak about, would they be the ones connected to one's Rank or to Watts? Trying just a bit (trying to make sure my comprehension-demanding brain doesn't turn this into science), I couldn't replicate. Edit: oh, waidaminnet. Suddenly the "points needed" went down by 7, so I guess there is some lag, or one has to do certain stuff for the system to update. Must resist urge to science.

Edit: yup, seems to give two unjustified points - not that one should even use five minutes changing the code.

If you click on your profile at the top of the page it will show your rank and the number of "points" until you power up. I'm not sure how watts is connected to points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how watts is connected to points. Yeah, my assumption before trying was this. But then my points weren't updated when I tried to replicate - and I now assume that was due to lag. Lag or my incredible speed. I combine the body of an athlete with the mind of a genius! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, yeah, sorry! 😞 I don’t remember having a Crass badge. I did work alongside their guitarist for a while in the 90s though. Lovely fella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
