I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.
Tiger Signature
I see that new posts on thread notifications are back. Very good.
Yes just noticed that myself. This is a bit more like we are used to.
ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
We also have the edit, delete and flag abuse links back at the bottom of the box instead of the dropdown top right
That's going to be much easier for me and Clare.

I'm shocked to see that neither you nor Chloe have ever received Good Egg awards, Tiger.

Ah the hall of fame is here
Agree with Limpy. I can think of several people who more than qualify, but (possibly because they only or mainly post here?) have never been recognised within the wider community. We know who you are, anyway, and appreciate you just as much, with or without the badge.

Well since 2009 the Loch Garten Group has hardly rated a mention and since the new system was started two years ago not one post has ever been worth a mention. That is in spite of the Loch Garten Group providing about 95 of the 100 longest thread in the forum.

The subject of Good Egg awards is a rather controversial one so I will decline to comment on the whys and the wherefores.
Thank you Limpy and Rachel but personally I feel none the poorer for the lack of a badge :)
I have mixed feelings about it myself - which is why I declined to name names, you may note!
There are so many good folks around here, it would be invidious to single out a few - you would inevitably leave out people no less deserving.
