Too bad...so sad

[Tin-Can]

I'm now using Linux and tried both Firefox and Chromium browsers to get on with my original username and password. Never did, nor did I ever get a single email with "lost password" codes. Finally gave up and re-registered. Had to change my user name a bit but my original password worked fine. Go figure.

I don't give a whip about post count or "fish level" so I haven't asked to get my original sign-in credentials back.

Like others, I do NOT see this mishmash as an improvement. All the new bells and whistles are just lipstick on a pig, IMO.

Hey Rocky, glad to see ya on the site again.

The chain pickerel is a small member of the toothy critter family that includes pike and muskies.  A popular fish in the east but pretty much unknown in the west.  But it is a fun fish.  Wear it well until you graduate.

The gold stars are awarded by other members clicking your "like" button.  Evidently, you got a few folks fooled.  Now go out and fool a bunch of big catfish.

OK. Probably why I never heard of a Chain Pickerel, thnks for the enlightenment. Now my day isn't wasted, I learned something, not too critically important, but something. 
Now I haven't seen any "like" buttons on here. Is this the BFT version of FB ?  But if that's where those gold stars come from, then you got more folks fooled than I do....   course you been here longer with more practice ....
