Oh NO! Where are my 890 Messages?

In summary: DMy avatar was a picture of a cake I made for my friend's birthday...And I feel fine... I'm glad I'm not a guy so I'm not addicted to ego boosters :pIn summary, the conversation was about members returning to the new version of the Physics Forums and discussing their old usernames, post counts, and avatars. Some members were happy to be back and others were disappointed about losing their post counts. There was also a mention of a new feature on the forum where members can upload their avatars from their computer. Some members expressed their dislike for competing for post counts and others shared their current feelings.

My username didn't change.
I had about 1400 posts (don't remember the exact number).
Avatar: The same.
I am feeling great cause i know that the SQL power will be better than the Access power (for the number of users that will join the site).
It seems i am not really the kind of guy that changes his things easily :smile:

What was your avatar ?

It was the black and white Grim Reaper with blurry lines.

I'm going to ask Greg to help me implement a new one, 1 month from now, 'cause he must be real busy right now trying to fine-tune the new server and stuff.

Eh don't worry about it, that happened to me when they moved to PF 2 from PF 1. I lost.. oh .. 3k... i was the top before the community got so large.

Hi!, it's me, the Owl :) Again, lost 1242 or so posts.. :( besides the initial x K oh well, life goes on doesn't it?

I am still Mentat.

I had ~1350 posts (which put me at the bottom of the first page (in the "Browse Members" menu)). I really hate that the post counts are gone, I would have thought there'd be some way for Greg to save them, but I'll just keep a positive attitude (and post like mad! :wink:).

I didn't have an avater.

Who will be the top poster?
 
  • #13
i sort of wish we could do without the post count...this is a discussion forum over a race of how much blabbing we can do about science...
 
  • #14
I think the race for post counts is stupid too..

However, that is not the topic here :)

Same name, miss my avatar and only had about 160 posts for the 1 1/2 years or so I have been a member. Maybe 180. I'm very ambitious.

(How are you feeling ?

Old/New Username: Sting1983/Sting

Post Count: 2800+ ? I'm not sure because I never paid attention to post count

My avatar was the "Stop Fascism" logo with the crossing out of the swastika

My current feeling? Stressed out because of an upcoming Electromagnetism test.

I'm still the same zimbo . . .

post count? think I was approaching 200 . . .

old avatar was a green jumping bug.

when did this change occur anyway? (been too busy to check for the last 2-3 months hehe) Are the old forum posts preserved as an archive?
 
  • #24
I don't...
 
  • #25
...think we should try race to see who can post the most either...

Hmm.

Anyway, I had 600 something posts, my avatar and screename are unchanged. Man, I'm unoriginal.

Me too.
In case my signature didn't already suggest that.

Well, I'm still Mistress Lilith (call me uninteresting, but that's all I could come up with in all the excitement)
 
  • #27
Allllll-right! I've done it! I'm back to being.. well.. me!
I've got my old avatar and my old signature back, and I'm happy as can be! :wink:

Note: in the above post, my signature was "I miss my old avatar"

The same. Siv.

What was your post count ?
5200+, I don't remember the exact number. Lately, I haven't been posting much, if at all ... but used to be a PF addict not so long ago. Was a time when I was way ahead of Zero in post counts but then I got busy with work [:p]

What was your avatar ?
A lovely DNA strand. I've always been rather partial to DNA/genes/evolution ...

How are you feeling ?
Hmmm... Well I like the look and feel of the new PF. Its more like some of those other good forums like Internal Infidels etc.
