rusty69 Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) Is this a new thing? I can only see it on a mobile device. I feel I have achieved great success, at long last. Not sure I want to be a collaborator though, it sounds a bit clandestine. Edited February 10, 2023 by rusty69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rusty69 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I can't see the "insufferable twat" badge in my portfolio. I feel sure I have achieved that status by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution RichM Posted February 10, 2023 Solution Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I think this relates to the new update as the forum started calculating "achievement points" since that update and has only just finished at which point these badges appear. We will need to review this further. I will speak to Dan and the team later today and more info will be available soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudds Lad Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I’m looking forward to earning my “clueless gobsh*te” badge, although there’s an argument to be made that i should have had it from day one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty69 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 How about nitpicky, pedantic old argumentative twat badge? That one I need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardang Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 What a load of meaningless twaddle. As far as I am aware we don't have many (any?) children members. Please get rid of it.😮 Howard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree monkey Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I've never been a grand master before, I might use this at my next work appraisal to get a pay rise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is "twat" a permissible word on here now? There have been some mighty squabbles in the past where Team Mod have edited it out of posts. As far as I'm concerned it is an acronym for the increasingly popular style of working from home, on Tuesday, Wednesday And Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robtheplod Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) is there a 'needy' badge? Just seen I am a Grand Master, which sounds really good... until you see its the bottom of the list.. (where i should be!)

Rob-M Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I think Grand Master appears to be quite a popular achievement. Not quite sure what I am a Grand Master in though but can I add it to my CV and LinkedIn profile. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading up on the feature a little more, I gather it's just designed to be a bit of fun while to encourage user activity. (Whether or not it does that, I do not know) It's probably worth noting that this isn't entirely a new feature though. We did have "ranks" in the past but these were more subtle and appeared as dots below a user avatar and you could hover over them to see the associated rank etc. The below screenshot is from 2015. That said, not sure if the new Invision "ranks" will stay at this point, will be one for @DHutch to decide. Cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray T Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I'd like a "nerd" badge please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willonaboat Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 (edited) I don't get it. Why do badges need to be overlaid on avatars to denote post counts when we could all just look at the post counts if we felt the need? Or are judged not to be capable of dealing with numbers? I know some people here are really old, some might even be ancient, but come on! Edit I see my badge is very grey whereas all the other badges have colour. I want my mum!
