Carpathius May 2020 6:39pm, 21 May 2020 19,554 posts	0 Carpathius We use bunting for that TBR which is one of many icons, lots of which have a lovely or hilarious back story You type * bunting * without the spaces between the word and the stars. All the others are made the same way but with different words. This thread has a good list in the sidebar/bottom bar (link at the bottom) fetcheveryone.com/forum/duck-42300/
Weath May 2020 7:34pm, 21 May 2020 405 posts	0 Weath I'm another one who's Leicester way too (a few miles to the north of Loughborough) but split my time between here and north Notts when not in lockdown 😥. Welcome to Fetch! I've been here since around early 2009. Don't post much (if at all) but find it an excellent place to log training, running games and lurk on the forums ... 😜
The_Saint May 2020 7:55pm, 21 May 2020 6,504 posts	0 The_Saint I tried the premium orange thing on a trial basis because everyone in my club seemed to use it but it was shit and I stopped it. My runs still go there and I give them a name and give kudos mainly because of peer pressure but I don't see that the logging features are any use at all.

Pothunter May 2020 11:48pm, 21 May 2020 2,408 posts	0 Pothunter Advice to new users: if you can’t find anything just ask. If it doesn’t exist you can log a feature request (there’s a link at the foot of every page) and if enough people agree with you it will happen!
HappyG(rrr) May 2020 8:43am, 22 May 2020 34,874 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Lol fazmo - and by your ID you've been on here at least 5 years? Still discovering new stuff! I get the bit about Pseudonyms being important to some people - those in public facing roles: health, education etc. But on Farcebook, Stroova etc. it's the exception not the norm. And in here, I agree you can find out a person's real name by looking at race results, so the pseudonyms don't really protect your anonymity. Just obscure it a bit. To a new person, I think it would look weird to stumble into somewhere, where everyone has a funny name. Not expecting it to change. Just reflecting on what it looks like to someone new. Maybe "funny" is a bit vague. Obscure might be a better adjective. And I accept that other forums do it (for instance, another hobby I have, has a forum where you can get advice, and in that case buy and sell things, and they have user names that aren't your real name. But to be honest, that place IS full of weirdos!! ) So yes, welcome to anyone new from ~~strava~~ or anywhere else. Just ask for any info you need. This place isn't weird. Honest. But it might be a bit... obscure?! G

HappyG(rrr) May 2020 9:23am, 22 May 2020 34,878 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Games, Who Squares Wins, then errr… Join, I think! I'm in it, so I can only see the "Leave Game" button, which for me is a Looooong way down the bottom of the page. Anyone help BeardRunner with where the Join button is pls? WSW is lots of fun. Quite addictive. Ideal for lockdown as it's all local. Actually, good place to ask questions is their thread: fetcheveryone.com/forum/who-squares-wins-60346/ Enjoy G
