I never liked that term...before the internet I never heard anyone use it:
" "newcomer, new person to an existing situation," by 1969, from new with diminutive or derogatory suffix. Perhaps originally U.S. military slang. Compare noob. Middle English had newing "a new thing" (early 15c.); new was used as a noun meaning "naval cadet during first training on a ship" (1909); and newie "new thing" is recorded from 1946. "

Just so long as WE know we are not "N--bie" I think I can put up with it...forum software is forum software.
Maybe it will motivate us to shake off the Monkier by posting. No rush...could be embedded, maybe it can be changed...either way I trust you will do your best.

I'm sorry.... And you are?
I do need to find a way to address the member status issue. I mean... I know you're new at this... but I think you may have grown a fig or two in your time...
I want to implement some sort of system that recognizes past contributions to the community. This guy Danny even joined earlier today.... He's a newbie as well... Hmmmm. So much work to do.

There's my bro!
Mike is on here already...in and out.
Glad you made it, we needed the cool Kid. tehehe
Lol "Cool Kid" does sound kinda nice - but "Kid Fig" sounds friendlier.
I should've known Mike was here when I seen the Caprifig Topic.

That Danny guy is a shady character, watch out, maybe put him on probation!

I am still trying to figure our new website Forum out. I suppose when I am able to make an original post that will be a good start. I hope we can find a way to differentiate between personal messages to us, versus subscribe threads. Right now they're bundled together. It makes it super confusing there should be a way to separate the two like the previous system. Personal messages should be just that, personal messages to ourselves. Post s or likes on a subscribed thread are a very different thing. Separating the two will make the system much more coherent.
@"Figgerlickinggood" oh my goodness Teresa I forgot to say hello to you. I cannot tell you how happy I was to see you here, and happily posting away when I arrived. Made me feel right at home I knew I was in the right place. Especially because you're just dealing with your new move, and yet your devotion to Fig fanatics, made me very happy to be an associate member with you in this new fig fanatic forum.
