Also, when you just get to a level, say, 10,000 points, it says, 'Level 5,' and you have 39,998 points to go to get to level 6, and you have only gone 2, and it looks like you are 1/4 of the way to level 6. You should start at the back of the bar.

The badge system doesn't work....I have been registered for the summer seminar for ages but no badge

It's true. Badging has never worked right. I'm hoping that's something we can fix soon. I think it will be a lot of fun and encourage more participation when we do get it working correctly. Thanks for the good suggestions on how we can make it better after we get it working.

What is an age anyway, you just sent in your registration in February like me, To me an age is at least 15 minutes longer than February. Hey you were right Paris is a little dirty, ND was a little dingy, so dark i tossed three of the pictures too fuzzy! Fran took better ones than me this time. I'll listen more to you. :-)

Jake   seems there is some misuse of the blog system.   Some are using it for points farming.  Some of us take some time to put a blog together...and then it gets drowned by one line submissions.    I would actually suggest you  establish some moderators who can delete such blogs. Or get rid of the points system....... I don't need silly rewards to share my enjoyment of the hobby. The points farmers as I call them are acting extremely immaturely  and if they are YNs they should be asked to read the ANA code of ethics......

Thanks, Ian. I'm looking into it now. 

Jake, on our "MY PAGE" user page, the box that lists "My Friends, My Followers, Who I Follow" only shows four names and there does not seem to be a way to scroll through them once you have more than 4. Is there some setting that I am missing or does this need to be fixed by adding a scroll bar or another feature like "see all"? Note that the "Activity, Where I Stand" box seems to have a limit of 8, which is OK. I don't know if there is a limit on the size/number of persons that can be displayed in the Message Center box.

@Jake Sherlock
If you have thoughts about the direction of the site, future content, or anything that isn't really a "bug," please post it here.  I've been trying to figure out a way to see ALL the posts and comments I've left to other peoples blogs and collections. Is there a way??

How does one turn off the email alerts that show up whenever someone posts on thread that I have also posted on? There doesn't seem to be a Settings tab anywhere and the emails don't provide an unsubscribe function.

 I don't believe there is a way at the moment. Perhaps use your email account to create a special folder for emails from the ANA forums, as I have.
