daily "Congratulations! You have a new rank" messages?

[Hein van den He]

I'm getting a daily Forum's message from Warren_admin with

"Congratulations! You have a new rank in Enterprise Business Community | HP Online Forum"

Is it just me or do others see this also?

Delete is quick & easy, but would prefer those message to only be send on a significant change.

Or else...   I'll just hit the [Ignore this user] button.  

Ignore this user

fwiw,

Hein

Hein,

I think it's just part of the transition.  I had a bunch of them - most with the same date.  I think when things started and they were working on translating our old ITRC points, we would get a promotion to beginner, then "has somewhat of a clue", then "can spell own name", etc., etc. (wouldn't it be nice if they would list them somewhere so we would have some sort of clue what they mean?).

They'll stop or at least become very infrequent once things have settled and you should only see one when you actually achieve a new rank (by whatever criteria they don't seem to want to tell us).

>I had a bunch of them - most with the same date.

Right, but only after I figured out how to read my PMs.  They were from 2011-06-23.  🙂

You had PMS??

Just kidding - it took me several days to even notice that little icon for PMs.

Same here at 1:15 pm on GMT +1 - every day

Best

Hi Pete,

you found an icon for PMs?
Sorry - not kidding 🙂
Where it is?

I always go to 'About -me-' (obviously by clicking on my name) - then choose 'Show all friends' - there are my PMs.

Do you have another icon?

The small envelope below the big magnifying glass on the top right of the page.

hth,

Aaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
For this I should give you 10 kudos 🙂

yeah - this is private, so its icon has to be as small as possible ....

Thanks a lot!
V.

Thanks for stealing my kudo, Stephan.!

[V. Nyga]

Pete!

You got one!

🙂

Good morning btw. - I've lunch at the moment. 🙂

[Pete Randall]

Yes, Vo, I know I got one.  And I know that you, being the kind hearted and generous person that you are, would have given me another if I'd been the one to tell you about the little envelope symbol so cleverly hidden at the top right of the page, right under the search symbol?

Also just kidding with Stephan - probably should have used one of these new fangled smiley thingies

[V. Nyga]

Pete - what's about our good old smilies?
;-D
