    Being a junior member makes me feel like a little kid again… *Throws a temper tantrum and cries in a corner. (Aka; the newb section)* I wanna be a senior member again. lol

    I'm guessing it takes 1k posts to be a senior member now… *sigh.* Why are you making me work for it? I liked just being one of the older members.

    As an unrelated side note, I like both your sign name and your "resident anti-theist" thing! You aren't the only one!

    It would be nice if we trimmed the crap on the left column on each post … there are 5 page long threads with maybe 16 actual sentences and lots of whitespace

    That would yield more post per page and less pages, I think everyone would prefer that no?

I'm guessing it is about the number of posts you make now, right? Not that it matters, I guess. I just liked being a "Senior" member… made me feel important. lol
    lol i noticed mine dropped from senior to junior too, but never thought anyone else noticed..

    Senior vs. Junior vs. Newbie

    I think (?) it's a combination of how long you've been "here" and post count?

    Senior status appears to be from Oct 2009 and back
    Junior status appears to be from Nov 2009 to Jan/Feb 2012
    Newbies status appears to be from Mar 2012 to present time

    Oh, well that makes more sense than post count lol. otherwise we would have people posting single letter posts to get ranked up again..

    Nope. I've been here since 2006, and I'm a Junior Member. It must be post count.

    9) Loss of /forum linking
    . Sorry to say, but there is nothing we can do about this. Thats the result of importing one forum language to another. Gotta move on.
    I found this forum browsing a support topic in vBulletin.com. I had to join just to to tell you this is CRAZY DUMB!

    It's not hard at all to redirect PHPBB3 link to the new vB4 links. Specific instructions are here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp…1&postcount=72 You can download the required 404.php from the same topic.

    Why is it dumb? Well ALL your old internal links are now broken. NOT a good user experience. Plus, ALL old external links are now broken. Other sites linking to topics here are broken, ALL search engine links indexed are broken. You're wasting years of reputation and link building. Other than simply deleting the URL, it's the surest way to kill a site.

    P.S. Also upgrade to 4.2.1, and don't display your forum version (make it harder for bot hacking scripts).

    I'd like to at least have an opportunity to make a final title for my build if the feature will be lost forever.
