    I would definitely upload photos to associate with the beer listing, but have always had trouble getting it to fit the required parameters.
    Any update or revision to that process would be awesome!

    Thanks for the new karma system @Todd !!

    I think this site works fairly well. You upload your image, just set the pixel size, then zoom in/out and use your mouse to move around the cropping box, then save the image.

    I'm feeling it. I just went out and bought 1,000 shares of Orville Redenbacher. Keep those updates coming! :popcorn:

    Rated places in 100(!) countries has to be worth more points, that is insane and totally awesome for whoever can do that!

    There are 193 countries in the world - 195 counting the Vatican and Palestine. Anyone who rates a beer from every single one of them should probably get 100 points.

    Also, I'd like my own title, please. Whatever number of karma points I may have at any given time, that's a 'papposilenus.' Anyone else who happens to have exactly the same number of points as me will have to be a papposilenus, too, at least until either I or they earn another karma point. If it's not too much trouble. When you're done with what you're doing now.

    Man, just when I was only 50 points away from becoming a poobah… now I’m down to 700. Guess my new title is The Yutz.:sweat_smile:
    But numbers… meh. Guess people like me will always need panem et circenses, something fancy, some baloney like @mway’s Double Triple Quadruple Diamond Headed Ambassador lapel pin badge:money_mouth:
    Anyhoo, might need some beers to help me get over it and revert me from schmaltz to copasetic again. I mean, ultimately that’s (:beer:) what we are here for.:grin::beers:

    As noted, the cutoffs for Poo-bah and other labels have yet to be released. You never know, maybe you ARE a Poo-bah!

    This seems like a very bad idea
    I’m planning to disengage from BA all together over this

    Strange reason for leaving BA. I mean, the beer hasn't changed. Isn't that the main reason for being on BA?

    It takes a bit for the karma to repopulate - if you haven't logged in in a while it might take a bit to show up for you. Im seeing that you still have a good amount of BA karma.

    Do you have a big sash, like an Eagle Scout, with all your Untappd badges on it?

    I realize that this is your first post since you joined in 2015, but I'd honestly love to hear more specifics as to why you think that creating a more fun, engaging, transparent, and efficient achievement system that prepares us for future upgrades is a very bad idea. So bad that you'd disengage from the site.

    I participate on BA to engage with the community, folks like you. :beers:

    I suppose we could say "it's all about the beer" since that aspect binds us together but for me community trumps (not that guy) the beer. But please keep this between youz and me. :flushed:

    Cheers!
