Solved Lorien Does It Again, Another Badge-Its the Gold

Ill be the first, but will make it short. Congrats on your new badge. Hope the help for the OPs keeps coming.

Thank you very much!

You can count on my continuing participation with the best and highest quality answers or suggestions or replies I can do - as has always been the case. I have no intentions of slowing down now that I have the badge - it's a wonderful symbol of achievement but no reason to decrease posting or stop helping OPs.

Quite the contrary. I'm more driven now than I was before - with the badge, my posts will be more accepted than ever and if I'm posting accurately (as I hope I am) then more OPs are likely to be helped by actually reading those posts and taking the advice given in them.

Thanks again for honoring this achievement and creating a special thread to celebrate it.

Lorien,

Congrat's on the Bagde! Well done

If you keep posting all the intuitive & informative problem solving information the problems will keep coming! Which is good right?

Congrats Lorien!

Congrats Lorien.

Congrats Lorien you do indeed deserve it!

Ta Daa!!!!

Congrats, Lorien.
I love how detailed all of your posts are. Nothing better than being thorough.

Thanks, everyone! I truly appreciate it and I'm glad this milestone is finally behind me. Now I just have to wait a while (a LONG while, if ever) for a VF Team Badge (though I will regret losing the Supporter Badge because of the 3 max limit - except for MVP where they seem to allow it as a 4th). LOL!!

And thanks, MWRed - not everyone appreciates long posts (though you all certainly know I do). I even like receiving them. :D And BTW, looking at your pips, you must be awfully close to Guru at this point - so it looks like we'll soon have another reason to celebrate. Just post a little more with the quality I know you can do (I've seen it) in the regular forums and you're bound to get rep for either a truly exceptional post or on a good one but not just for that post but for all the others in terms of general contributions to the forum. I'm always on the lookout for reasons to rep people, especially but not exclusively friends, but I won't do it frivolously or without justification (especially now that I'm maxed at 150 so it can make a difference and it's important that the badges and rep continue to have meaning) - so give me a reason (and it quite possibly will work on others as well who also rep for similar reasons). The same, of course, applies to almost everyone else who isn't already doing it. Although a very rare occasion comes up in Chillout or VIP (because it's really a question that should have been posted in a separate thread in another forum but was answered anyway), it's the other forums where we help people where the focus for this needs to be.

Anyway, thanks again and best wishes and good luck to everyone.

Good luck, and WELL DONE! Congratulations!

congrats Lorien! =)

Thanks, everyone. This badge is a great honor for me. I've been looking forward to it for quite a while and it took quite a bit longer to get than the others (because it simply takes time to make 1500 posts especially given the reduced activity in the forum since Windows 7 was released and many members moved to SF which has considerably more activity).

I appreciate all the congratulations and comments.

Thanks again!

Congrats, Lorien! I cannot believe I missed this - so involved with my own crisis - and reading your long posts D

Only joking - I certainly appreciate the amount of care and detail, suggestions and alternatives that go into the support you have provided.

Well deserved and certainly earned!!

PS What is an OP?

LOL
You are
Opening Poster

That makes me feel better - I was afraid it was something worse!

No its nothing bad, just a short cut for the poster with the opening question.
BTW Happy Holidays to you my friend.

I was thinking code for 'computer illiterates'!

Yes, Happy Holidays to you also; and everyone here at the Forum!

Thank you

Never forget, those that ask questions feel foolish for a minute. Those that do not ask questions are foolish for a lifetime.

I love it, Richard! Those who know me, know I am not shy in that dept.

Poor Lorien might be feeling a little different! LOL

Lorien is perfectly fine with it. That's why I'm here - and it's truly a pleasure to work with you. You've had some tough and challenging questions, but that's great because I get to learn at the same time I'm helping (which accomplishes two of my objectives for being here). Plus you're pleasant and friendly and you follow directions well and you learn quickly and you're also a bit intuitive about these things - I couldn't ask for anyone better to work with. Why do you think I tend to respond so quickly when I see one of your questions and then stick with you through to the end of it?

And we stlll have one that isn't quite closed yet - but there we need Jacee's assistance before we can proceed further (though we have accomplished quite a bit on our own before bringing her in).

Please continue to post as often as you want or need - we'll be happy to assist you however we can (even if it isn't always me - there are others who are equally or more skilled who can help you as well - and you just conversed with one of the latter). They too will be thrilled to be helping someone as nice as you.

Oh, and thanks for the congrats! I truly appreciate it.
