Has anyone else noticed that there is a new category now - "Rookie" and we all seem to have been changed. As an example, I started out as a "Newcomer", then became a "Regular" and then a "Senior". I've now gone back to "Regular" and some "Legends" have become "Senior". Would love to know how these categories are arrived at. TBH, I don't really mind what I'm called, even silly cow if it's applicable, I'm just curious as to how the system works.

I appreciate that this isn't really a question about diabetes, more about the forum, so hope it won't get deleted.

There must be some updates to the forum going on, this is the usual explanation when things change like this.

I am now a regular. I was a legend. I will always be a legend to me.. (feels like a song coming on)

I was a legend!

Now I've been demoted to regular!

I'm weird!

I'm not a regular!

Come on guys, what's happening here?

I didn't like to say "demoted" as I was trying to be tactful, but yes it does feel like a demotion. Although I said I don't mind what I'm called, I quite liked the title of "senior", but it appears to have disappeared altogether. How can you and I share the same status when you look at the number of your messages in comparison to mine. I do hope someone comes up with the explanation behind these changes.

There must be something going on, more than likely, some poster has had a moan, probably about nowt. And the forum mods or suchlike have decided to change it all again!
They still having fixed the personal details information on your page, I'm down as type 1 and on diet only, I have tried to change them but........

I'm not that bothered but if there has to be distinctions, then make them honorary.
I must admit I liked being a legend, cos I'm usually told I'm weird!

I'm regular every day, but that was private, so how they found out, well

That's the problem, members are left in the dark as to what is going on and asking why !!

I've just noticed that on the "Ask a Question" forum there is N/A in the right hand column. Oops, what have I done?

There ought to be a 'unique' category for you, nosher.
