The one good thing about the 'stars' was that it was an indicator of the experience/longevity of the poster. A "member since" or "no of posts" could give some indication of the reliance one might wish to place upon a post.

As this is a caravanning forum the experience required to assist other members in their hobby is best measured in caravanning years.  

How many posts somebody has made on a cyber forum is totally irrelevant to a caravanning enquiry.   Only of use if somebody wants info on forum use.

I tested it, Dave, on the Pad and it went back to page 1😕

I am using an older I -Pad, when I like a post the page refreshes and takes me to the top of the page, where the original post now appears.

Quite!

As stars were awarded on quantity rather than quality, they gave no clue to how knowledgable a poster was.

I do think 'caravanner/motorhomer since...' under our profile picture would be a useful addition, surely a few who have had a break could amend this themselves to skip over the break (if it is a shortish one anyway).

I agree, Alison.

It seems to be impossible to amend the information below the picture these days.

They can and do, indeed. As I have said previously, the forum is the least of the Club's website worries. Accessing other areas, such as CL searches are not easy, at least not with an IPad, and this is what annoys me more than anything else, as it is a paid for service, proper access is only granted once you become a member. Therefore, I, and quite a few of my Caravanning friends (who do not use this forum) feel very cheated. If I was a CL owner, I would want my fee back quite frankly, they are the big losers in this change over fiasco. 

And why, for goodness sake, does the page jump to the top post if I "like" someone's post? undecided

Mine jumps to the top as well using my Ipad. I agree it is frustrating because you have to scroll down the page to find where you were.

Well at least I got to see what a gold star looked like before they took it away!

If you like a post using a PC it goes back to exactly where you started from so it seems that it is more of an iPad problem. And you don't get multiple posts with a PC. Posting photographs appears easier on a PC. Perhaps you Apple fans should think about going back to a proper computerwink
