stranger

[Nancy]

What's with the new title "stranger" that I've seen instead of the diamonds?

 

[Kribu]

It should be fixed now .. the titles defaulted to the UBB.threads standard titles after the upgrade. Seems to have affected the new users.

It's still hanging around it seems, colonyearth is shown as a stranger. Perhaps it's stuck to all people who joined in that period?

And what were Infopop thinking? "Stranger" is a daft way to label newbies - it's hardly welcoming.

Yeah, they should have just gone with 'fresh meat'.

This is moving away slightly from the subject, but....

I have noticed that the signature length has been restricted to 100 characters (not much), but the homepage url can be 150 characters.

This means unfortunately, that I cannot add my birthday or change anything else in my profile unless I drastically curtail my signature. Something I am loathe to do.

Can we have the signature length increased a bit please?

Done.

Kribu did tell me about this... she's on the ball about everything really. User ranks, she spotted that one too. But I just got around to doing it.

 

[Elenopa]

Thanks.

Maybe "stranger" is being used in the comparative sense, and not to indicate a previously unknown user?

Or perhaps they are stranger than we are...which is entirely horrifying.

[sleepy_shadow]

I could almost believe that... but then again not.

Yeah, that's what I had in mind. Who else could the newbies be compared to if not us?
