    Here's what I did. I went to the original BA site, entered your user name in the search beer. Of course, there were 0 results but the site brings up Google searches and I found your profile listed there and clicked on it:

    You can do it now: http://beeradvocate.com/user/beers?ba=woosterbill&view=W. Just replace my username with that of the BA whose wants you want to see, and voila. It's not the most elegant solution, but it works for now.

    Beer Karma is a mystical measurement of what a user puts into BeerAdvocate.com. The more a user contributes, the more Beer Karma the site assigns to the user. It's that simple, yet not.

    The Halls of Beerdom
    Whenever you see one of the following vessels (the pics didn't copy to this meessage) next to a user's name it denotes that they have achieved a specific level of Beer Karma and that their names have been scribed into The Halls of Beerdom.

    There are currently 12 levels of beerdom, and the terms listed for each level reflect a user's Beer Karma; as it pertains to this site, not their personal beer knowledge or inner Beer Karma.

    Beer Karma Points Level of Beerdom
    - Acolyte
    250 Initiate
    500 Disciple
    1000 Zealot of Beer
    1500 Aficionado
    2500 Connoisseur
    3500 Beer Savant
    5000 Champion of Beer
    7000 Pooh-Bah
    10000 Grand Pooh-Bah
    15000 Grand High Pooh-Bah

    "Order of the Eternal Beer" is reserved for a select few and issued by The Alström Bros. It must be earned.
    Forum posts on the topic of Beer Karma will be removed, and messages to us will be ignored. Nothing personal, it's just the way of Beer Karma.

    Yes, we made some changes to Beer Karma yesterday, with another update occurring right now, and probably another one next week. Beer Karma always changes ... but it's nothing to worry about, or get all mad about, or leave the site over. It's simply a measure of what people put into the site. Nothing more ... but to make it more than what it is or put a tremendous amount of focus on it is absolutely ridiculous - one of the reasons why it only appears on profile pages and in the form of an icon now.

    Furthermore, except for user specific updates to Beer Karma, if it changes for one user, it changes for all. And Beer Karma is only deducted if something that was put into the site is removed (forum post, review, etc), or if the formula for calculating it changes.

    Some suggest that Beer Karma should actually go away. It's not going to. It's a harmless feature of the site and should be taken lightly and, again, viewed as nothing more than a measure of what people put into the site.

    Seek not the origins of Beer Karma.

    It's fun to be involved and active with a site where the owners actually give a damn and want to make things better and more user friendly. Can't wait for the finished project. Great job Bros!

    Yes, but that doesn't tell me what its use was.
    Seemed pretty useless.

    Are we ever going to be able to see a user's location under their user name?

    Did the site just go offline for a minute for anyone else? I'm guessing more syncing is going on, but it was down for me for a couple of minutes.

    Yep. Had to apply some changes to the database for better data integrity, speed and scalability.

    Will we get any stats on brews, such as:

    1) Number reviewed by style
    2) Average review by style
    3) Average total review

    Yep. As posted a few times now we're looking into ways of display beer/place review stats for users. Unfortunately I have a ton on my plate and I'm only coder, but we'll get there ...

    No hurry. Just get the site working! Just glad I was able to access BMs, etc. to complete trades in time for a trip I took last weekend

    My 2 cents, I hate the new interface, but meh.
