Few Questions ?
« on: March 27, 2018, 05:19:16 PM »
 I noticed before the migration over to the new website that I had over 4000 posts made maybe 4250 or more and now it shows in my Avatar just over 3300 something and just wondering why did the count go down not that it matters just curious.
  Next question is I have two arrows above my avatar and someone else may have 4 blue ones and trying to figure if it means anything?
  Just trying to figure things out and hope it's o.k. to ask?

the old forum had tons of issues and your post count over there *might* not have been correct.

this move was Horrendous, chock fulla problems and pitfalls, and it might not have read the old database correctly for reasons that have to do solely with the old and very tired database (all forums are based on databases).

sure, those broadheads represent membergroups and here they are ...

I show 2 black broadheads, but I am a 2018 contributor. Is this something that will get sorted out in the near future ?

I do have access to the Classifieds, so that aspect is working.

it was not easy to move over the contributor 2018 group because it never was a real group in the old forum.

all members that login come over as membergoup 'trad bowhunter', but they can also be associated with other membergroups and that's what we had to do with the 'contributor 2018' members from the old forum.  i can see that association in your profile but you can't.  when november 2018 rolls around that membergroup will be deleted and then anyone wishing to continue as a contributing member (classifieds) can get instant access via the paid subscriptions tab in your profile.

  Thanks Rob for the explanation and I'm sure you guys will be getting hammered with questions and I probably didn't help matter's none.   It's like sitting in the cockpit of a 747 and trying to figure out what all the controls do for some of us  :biglaugh:

I have 2 arrows for trad Bowhunters above my name and I am a contributing member. What's up with that? Also what is the difference between contributing member and contributor?
