Is there any explanation or guide anywhere for what on earth all strange badges mean / are for? Most have really odd names and so I have no clue what I did to achieve it.

This post prompted by just being awarded ā€˜gnarly dude’ badge without any explanation - what is it for?

Being very new to the forum, the main thing I have learned is that there’s a LOT of longstanding ā€˜in jokes’ and it’s extremely hard to penetrate as a newby trying as hard as I can to join in!

If you click a badge, there’s a little description of what it’s about. For the Gnarly Dude badge, you have to visit FE every day for 30 days šŸ˜Ž

Hey @Sale Runner welcome. I’ve been here for 10 years and only have the vaguest sense of what’s going on! Badges defeated me so I switched them off.

Welcome!
There is also a forum thread called Unlockable Badges where the obsessive collectors hang out!

Thanks guys! Well I have about 80 badges and about a dozen are self explanatory: the rest … šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø LOL

How come the forum isn’t organised by subfora? It seems 99% of the chat happens in extremely lengthy threads many years old… it seems that new threads which ask interesting questions just sink instantly

Anyway, who needs another newbie asking such questions - sorry! I’ll get back in my box now :-)

Welcome! Questions and comments all welcome!

You can also switch off threads that you have no interest in. Makes new threads sink slower.

Welcome @Sale Runner - you'll get the hang of it one day! Stick around and ask questions. There's a thread for newbies somewhere - I'll try to find it

Hello @Sale Runner and welcome. I found when I joined that things started making sense gradually but once I started blogging frequently I got to know people a bit better so I'd recommend that šŸ‘

Yeah, I'm still reasonably new here. Things are done a little differently, it adds character.

Got something to say?
