Another small update:
What is the significance of a "full member"? Is there a partial membership?I'll +1 on L2 members having a different name color.
Couple of problems, both with backwards compatibility:1. It's seldom appropriate, but there are times where I'll post an 'empty' message -- if a picture is worth a few words, that ought to count (and it used to with the old site).2. I can attach one file to a message, but not more than one at a time. Sometimes this is handy and the old site allowed it.
- Some L2 people don't want to be identified as such, so it won't be visible on the profile.
1. Use a dot(.) for now, saves you typing ;-) (until I find where to patch the software to allow this)2. I just did a test with 2 attachment in 1 go, no issue...

Use a dot(.) for now, saves you typing ;-) (until I find where to patch the software to allow this)One other thing about this: a single dot can be interpreted as an online moment of silence...given that my snarky text has been moderated to a moment of silence, that'll probably need to be moderated again, especially given the context is Orbital's first Cygnus flight.
Would it be possible to have an option to allow yourself to be identified as L2 members, but it is defaulted as off?

Which is, well, multiple things, but definitely strange.I may have time (and content) to test this tomorrow, but not sure.

Two attachments with a new, 'non-empty' post redirects me to "Start New Topic"; one attachment behaves as expected. I can then belatedly edit the new post to add the second attachment.Edit: I also cannot attach two files when modifying an existing post, I also end up in 'Start New Topic'.
Are there any other people who have problems with replying to posts and attaching more than one image in each post? It seems that when doing this the reply was not posted and I was lead to the starting-a-new-thread page.
Since that I have the strange effect on the unread posts page that the name of the poster is more prominent than the title (see attached jpg)

When I look at the page of unread posts, the authors are more visible than the topics. When I (hopefully most of us) look at the list of discussions, the more important thing is what matter is discussed, not who started it.
