Those dots should be above your screenshot, to the right of where it says www.sherlock-and-so-on.

Oddly enough, they appear to be a browser function, not a forum option the way it was with the old software.  It's just the regular three vertical dots, where you get options like New Tab.  I would never have thought to look there if Martina hadn't told me about it.

How is the donation for my fake nose coming through?

Well, there's been a donation box in the forum lounge for a week now, but all we've collected so far is three bottle caps and a couple of candy wrappers.

[Van Buren Supernova]

@Caya's suggestion

I did that but nothing happened. It looks exactly the same with mobile version. Unlike old forum (I always used desktop/full version on my phone back then).

So yah, nose.

Oh dear that sounds like the content of donation box I put up in real life! Who said digital persona would be better and  prettier and more likable version of you..  

[SherlockedCAMPer]

I’d think about giving but I’m currently rubbing 2 pennies together so I can cook the food before my job starts.

[Arcadia]

I have some used rubber bands I could donate. Maybe they could be melted down to make a nose?

[Van Buren Supernova]

Okay let me get this straight. 

So first you are greeted, made feel like home, addicted, secured and welcomed, and when you finally drop your guard, you are denied secret handshake and being asked to wear fake nose made of melted used rubber bands in order not to get kicked out from the forum...?

[SherlockedCAMPer]

The last one is optional, unless your Linus Caldwell pretending to be Lenny Pepperidge; then the nose plays. But, since this is Sherlock not Oceans 13, it is not strictly necessary except under extreme duress while helping Mycroft with a case.

You got it, kid. Welcome to the asylum fandom.

Per VBS's suggestion in another thread, Tim has set up a new rank.  It has no specific name, because when you get to 5,000 posts, you get to make up your own name for it.

Awww, it'll take me years to get to 5,000.  Unless I make you all suffer through another picture-posting spree this Christmas.   

 

[Arcadia]

You've got years. It's called "hiatus." No rush.

[Caya]

At this point the proper term just might be denial. But then again, I still check the Westeros boards every year or so if the new Game of Thrones book is finally underway, so I'm sitting in the most fragile of glass houses anyway.

[Arcadia]

No worries, I'm still waiting for the next season of "Earth 2" to drop.

Is it over yet?

 

How about now?

 

And now?

 

 

I  remember a while ago some of you  were talking about the cover page (picture), not sure which thread. The one I like the most is actually the Victorian ones, around Christmas 2016 (or 2015?? Good god! It's 2015!!!!). It happened around the same time with snowing on the forum. It felt special and Christmas-y, especially because I was on my way home for holiday.

[Arcadia]

Snow!!! I wonder if the new forum will have snow. I liked the snow.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Guess we'll find out in a month or so.

For the past ten days, VBS has made an average of three posts per day, leaving her only 53 posts from the magic 5,000.  At this rate, she'll get there in only 18 more days, or the 30th of this month.  Go, VBS!!!

For those of you on phones, who can't see the new ranks on people's posts, so far we have the following:

Arcadia

  Reveal hidden contents

The Crack in the Lens

Camper

  Reveal hidden contents

Crazy High-Functioning Sociopath

me

  Reveal hidden contents

John Watson's best friend

Eligible but nothing chosen yet:

J.P.

Pseud

T.o.b.y

... and VBS coming up fast on the inside!

 

 

VBS's rank is now Potato on the laptop.  We all sure have different ideas about what outranks Consulting Detective!

(Last time I checked, J.P., Pseud, and T.o.b.y had not changed theirs.)

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Maybe she’s trying to be like John in TAB or something related to his attempts at sign language in that episode.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Maybe.  Though I suspect it has more to do with the potatoes that Mummy Holmes set on Mycroft's laptop in HLV.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Or that.

Perhaps because some of us don't think of it as a statement of rank, but as a statement of identity. And that was meant to be a joke, but it actually came out sounding like a pretty good theory!  

[Van Buren Supernova]

Wait.. are you saying I look like a potato?? Or feel like a potato???? What are you implying? Potatoes have feelings too!!

Anyway, actually, this is my fifth rank, had been changing it around   I can't make up my mind, and since noone knows the rest, I could recycle them, MA HA HA HA HA BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA

*consider it as my therapy*.

I blame my whole thought process (as described above) on being up at 3:30am CDT this morning and not actually sleeping for my nap. I did doze a bit. It’s now after 9pm CDT and I won’t be home until closer to 10.

Nope, I'm saying that's what YOU are saying. And who am I to argue...…
