So i noticed that I cant do much on the new forum it even says a newcomer, does anyone know how to change this, Ive been on the forum for years, I don't understand, does everyone simply start over? Any info would be appreciated thank you
Mine says much the same. Joined 16 years ago
Starting over hurts. I feel the same way. But it is what it is. I still would have preferred a forum without ranks, just new member and member on the old forum was perfect in my opinion.
The hardest part of this forum however is not the hierarchy, it's the difficulty to read posts in long threads. I have been skipping the long threads I used to enjoy just because sorting them by newest and continuesly clicking load more is a pain. That's bothering me more than ranks.
New forum. We're all new here... though either something has glitched with my account or they're trying to give us some "credit" for activity over the old forum. 😖
I have the opposite issue. I've been around for about 11 years but was only active on the previous forum for 2-3 years, and had less than 600 posts. And I haven't been super-active here either. Yet somehow I've raced up the 'ranks' really quickly, and it doesn't seem right that I have a higher or even equivalent 'rank' to someone who'd posted thousands of times over many years. I don't like the ranks anyway. Seeing someone's number of posts gives a much better idea of how active they are, and removes the competitive side that has no place here.
Also this forum just makes stuff up! I recently got a badge for starting 25 discussions, when I've only ever started 5 or 6 on the previous forum, maybe one on AHQ, and I don't think I've started any here. Where did it get 25 from?!
This is just where the truck stops and you gotta put some gas in and start over. 🤧
Sorry for the messy mouth... I just had some Italian...whoa she was good!
The more you participate, the more your status will change. I've been on the Sims forums (the one they just moved us from) for 16 years. Like; reply; start a conversation and you'll move up the ranks, too.
Thank you everyone ugh that sucks lol . I just thought it was more of a revamp of the old .. oh well smh guess i gotta put in more work 😊
I've not been a member that long but feel for any one that's been a member for a long time
It's not that big a deal. We are all basically starting fresh with this new site. All things take a bit of time to get used to. Just keep posting and adding likes and you'll find yourself practically a pro in no time!
Yep, I started as a newcomer to, even though I've been around for 12 years and I don't know if the badges are glitchy but according to them I haven't even logged in once. I'm getting the hang of things a little more, however it takes twice as long as the other forum with all the clicking and page loading.
Yeah, it really stings. And using this forum is so annoying. I get logged out all the time and getting authentication errors. And sometimes it will link me to the Simspons page and not The Sims. It makes me wanna use it less and less.
