Robert Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 What are the little rabbit droppings under Member or Registered Member please? Why have some people more droppings than others? Why are some people Registered and others not? Don't know for sure, but to has at a guess I would say the number of droppings is proportional to the number of posts. Don for example whose post count is up around 1800 has five droppings, whereas I only have three droppings with my much lower post count. I wonder if the "Members" are those whose accounts got ported over from the old forum, whereas the "Registered Members" are those who had to create new accounts. Of course this whole post could be a load of rabbit droppings, and it is purely that Honourary Early Riser, Trude has rampaged around the topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted October 12, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2009 Morning All, Hope you're all well. Yet again I'll have to take a day off from college. I'm coughing about 4 times a minute amongst other symptons, and my throat seems to mean I can't talk very well. Paracetemol is the order of the day, along with a big cup of tea. Glad to see you made it over OK, Don. Nice to see some familiar names on here (all the usual ERs :icon_wave:) "...and only 4 and a half days until Friday!" 4 and a half? Am I missing something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted October 12, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2009 Don't know for sure, but to has at a guess I would say the number of droppings is proportional to the number of posts.

I wonder if the "Members" are those whose accounts got ported over from the old forum, whereas the "Registered Members" are those who had to create new accounts. That's what I thought as well - will have to check whether there may be any hint to that end in the Help section. Of course this whole post could be a load of rabbit droppings, and it is purely that Honourary Early Riser, Trude has rampaged around the topic Should I scold her if it should have been her?

backofanenvelope Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Agree about the Heathrow Express - ridiculously expensive. Last time I flew into Heathrow we enquired how must it would cost and ditched the idea immediately. Admittedly it takes a bit longer, but the Piccadilly Line is quite a nice ride too, and certainly costs a lot less. There is also the Heathrow Connect now which is ??6.50 which is not too bad, as much nicer than Tube and takes about 30mins compared to the hour plus on Piccadilly Line.. Surprised by the seat size too, actually more comfortable on the Mk4's on NXEC.. Just another way for the rail companies to may more out of people.. GatEx is the same.. oh well rant over.. t.

DDolfelin Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 As long as we know what to aim for. I didn't take much notice but I think my post count was well over 2k. Now, of course, reduced appropriately to one dropping. :icon_www: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Looking out the window right now I cannot help but think of John Masefield's "Sea Fever" ... I must go down to the sea again, To the lonely sea and sky. I left my shoes and socks there, I wonder if they're dry? Morning all. I only have one rabbit dropping too and am a "registered member" so I guess the theory is sound - those of us having to re-register. Suppose I ought to go to work... Can't remember, has BoD made it across to the new ERs yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium eldavo Posted October 12, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2009 Morning All, No oktas in evidence. Finally found the ERs thread this morning. Anyone know where the "your posts" function is on this 'ere new forum? Haven't found my way round half of the place yet so it's all a bit inconvenient at the moment. I'm sure all will be fine when the dust settles. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure all will be fine when the dust settles. General lack of oktas this end of the A272 too. Try clicking on your user name to get to your profile. Just along from the 'About Me' tab is one for 'Your Posts'! HTH What I'd like to know is how to clear the 'Warn Status' icon below my avatar?

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 12, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2009 Morning all. Blue sky, some high cloud and 10C. The roads are remarkably clear today. I took Matthew to college as there is a bus driver strike for the routes he needs. He will walk home though. I've got some cooking to do today. Some friends will be coming to stay in a fortnight. At least one of the planned meals involves chickpeas and my wife is convinced that it tastes better after freezing the cooked product for a couple of weeks.

RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted October 12, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2009 John, everyone has the warn status and I don't think you can get rid of it. However, only you can see your own warn status, likewise, you cant see other peoples. If it is just: Warn status: Without anythign after in thebar below it (ie. white space) then you haven't been warned... HTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 12, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2009 Rabbit droppings would either be a post counter or time of membership indicator. Those in the 85% have more dots. Warning bars are not visible to other posters. It did worry me when I first saw it! Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted October 12, 2009 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 12, 2009 I've just had instructions by email not to cook the chickpea dinner completely, just to pressure cook and freeze the chickpeas. The cooking duties have been replaced by a shopping list. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonBradley Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 ERs seem to have a higher percentage of being required to register than the rest. Of posts since incarnation 7 members were automaticall registered and 16 had to reregister. Discrimination! :icon_mutter: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
