Things can be changed, if people really don't want them (yes, Janet, your opinions DO count!), but the change takes time. It takes a lot of work to get all the little things about this new forum we want different fixed, and GM is pretty much the only one who can do it. I don't think that the post counts and labels have really come up as something that people particulary hated before. We appreciate all the input, and labels and post counts are probably something that can be changed fairly easily if people want it to be changed. It is something that a lot of forums like, and came as the default. All the input is important, and we want the people of the NCFFB (the most important part) to be happy!
Dano, we changed from a completely different forum to this one, and our previous one had changed a couple of times. There is no possible way to update the number of posts a person has made, because the previous forums did not count the number of posts a person made, and 10 years of posting is a lot of posts to count. Dang, it is hard to believe the NCFFB has been around that long now!
Thanks for being civil in this exchange, guys!
Hey Charlie--missed you this weekend at the Garcia. Look for a report soon (full of details that are sure to bring swarms to all those streams

). I hope your shoulder is doing better and the remodel isn't eating you alive!
