Admin: Could I have a tag by my name please?

I don't know where to ask? But I notice people have tags like 1 stone or maintainer next to their names? I would like mine to say 6 stone so I dont need to keep writing it in my posts lol

Thank you!

We mainly use weight loss badges when people are aiming to lose weight, and then replace that with Healthy BMI (which you were given) or Maintainer, when people let us know they have reached the relevant level. At present, your Team Rocks badge is on top as the Friday team came top of last week's leaderboard.

I'll give you the 6 stone badge: just let us know when you class yourself as a Maintainer and we can make sure you have the right one.

And as if by magic! TeamAdmin are amazing and so on the ball! Yours did say Team Friday Rocks which means your weigh-in group lost the most weight but I'm always slightly disappointed when my badge changes to 'host' or my weigh in group comes out on top. I think us big losers should shout from the rooftops as it encourages those at the start of their journey.

Sometimes it just says January 2019 next to my name? I didn't know why it changed before! I would like it if we could have a section that shows at the bottom of our posts, like a footer? When I used to write on a trying to conceive forum they had these cool banners with a slider (like 4 days until ovulation) where we could have amount to target weight or total weight lost? That would be cool!

But thanks to BridgeGirl!! Very speedy response! :)

We used to be able to see all our badges. Only one would be on top but if you hovered over it, you could see any underneath, but sadly HU removed that facility :( And random things do happen around here with no explanation, but your badge had simply been updated once you reached a healthy BMI

Many members do not want all their data to be public - and they might be put off if they had to fill in a form when they joined up ( this is the case with some e.g. body-building forums).

A summary footer would help - as we cannot give specific advice without specific information.

I saw the post earlier and was actually sad as I figured I can't join this time as I am at my target weight now!

Oh no! Im pleased for you but it won't be the same without you! Another maintainer is going for half a target 3.5lb just to make some room for some extra turkey! What about that? :-) x

Well I do want to lose 3lbs to get to 9st so I have more room to play with in my maintenance range. And as I am slowly increasing my calories my weekly losses are slower than the 2lb a week they used to be! Lol
