ASC changes?

Hi all,


As you may know, in the past couple of weeks, some changes have been made to ASC. My first question is this: On this thisthread, the OP was able to upload a custom avatar at level one. I searched through my settings and could not find an option to do this.


Second question: I've noticed that you no longer need 150 points for level two as I have recently seen a user with less than 150 points and at level two. Have any other changes been made to any other levels? Is there an updated version of Award points, level up, and earn new privileges?


Thank you,

Well, I do not know the name of the user that was at level two with less than 150 points, but as you can see in the post, another user was able to upload a custom avatar at level one. Is that a glitch or are you saying that me not being able to upload one is a glitch?

And as you said, "Bottom line, I wouldn't worry about it. Help folks." You are very much correct. The ability to get to higher levels and upload custom avatars is not at all important (just a bit of a better look).


My, so many glitches 🙂

I have been thinking quite bit about our menu of "glitches Du Jour"... If you know anything about DataBases - think of 'em visually as GREAT Big Excel spreadsheets (tables) -

  • each record (row)
    • User_ID (Apple ID)
    • Thread
    • Message (OP or Reply)
  • has many values (columns or cells)

    can be

    • true or false ( 0 or 1 )
    • some numeric value (Levels, point total, etc.)
    • some string of text
    • dateStamp
    • etc.......

All it takes for anything to go haywire is the value be erroneous - Giselle's or unlorio's "Level_for_the_purpose_of_avatar_choosing" is " 2 " instead of " 1 " and Voila! - the option to choose a custom avatar.


Keep in mind, that the values are *calculated* in the deep dark doings of the software and merely "held" in the cells. The reason that the pages display Level 1 is likely a completely different *cell* than the one I mention above


If you are very curious, you can use the built-in developer tools to your favorite browser to "inspect" the code of the page's items... The easiest thing to see under the hood is

User uploaded file

generally neatly color-coded for ease of perusal - [Inspect Element] in the image invokes Firefox Web Developer Console - WAY too much information but it puts the element into a very focused context

I've brought that to the hosts' attention - no idea if anything will be done, but at least they'll be aware of the glitch.


If you can post a link to the second issue (150 points/level 2) you brought up, I'll report that as well.

I realize this may be obscure, though

emphasis is mine, of course


Her UserName is JGiselle2000 and her avatar looks much like an iOS Messages "avatar"

He went on to say, "Second question: I've noticed that you no longer need 150 points for level two as I have recently seen a user with less than 150 points and at level two.

It was the second question I was replying to.


Stay well, Bob.

My bad - too many balls in the air and never was a good juggler 😢


as all this is academic, let's be curious students - This >

pretty easy to match up the pic to:

What we make of this? We realize that it EXISTs - just HOW did it get there?
