It's what our little photo or image used to be called.  Old fogies still use that old term.

Nobody. Just thought the icon should be something we can all identify with…well, unless you shoot like me

And then there is the "SHIELD" ! 

My guess now is that if you accumulate enough accolades, your avatar will disappear and you will no longer be seen on the Forum!

For much of the day, there has been a banner at the top of the page saying something about indexing the database so search might not be working...

 

Well, maybe that is true but I suspect it was part of a bigger update.

 

Now, I get to see my whatsit, or if I even have a whatsit.

 

On edit: I see I have the rocket whatsit. Meh.

The rocket shows those willing to fight the alien's , should they arrive ....

They use the same software on the Brian Enos forum ... AND ... there .. I noticed the "hand" actually indicates a "new" user the the shield identifies a moderator.

 For newbies we should have a foot, stepping on a cactus, making it a tender foot ......   

[Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933]

I didn't get a hand, just a finger.  If you put your cursor on the little blue things it will tell you what they are.  The shield is for a moderator.  I thought those were supposed to be as secret as the number of SASS members.

 

The hand is for new members.

It shows that the poster has been fact checked and approved for internet service by the Public Information Safety Service.

These posters are harmless and do not contradict the approved truth or unduly upset the old folks.

I bet they never use an acronym.

[Chuckwagon McTaggart]

I wouldn't exactly consider myself a wire newbie, but is pretty clear that some of the members here REALLY like to hear themselves talk.  Only 887 posts left until I get my rocket ship.
