Thank you, thank you. Mine is now hanging on my door

Cathy

Yay!! Thank you for keeping track of all this!! I was just wondering how many times I'd participated (four, thanks to your record keeping!) And I had forgotten that I participated in the first one. Yay!!

Wow, the first one was three years ago! Pretty amazing!\

Looks like Mr S-H is the only one to have participated in all thus far. Mr S-H, keep it up and I bet you can get in the Guniess Book!

Thanks! How exciting. Alot of firsts for me this year! And thanks for doing this, too!

I think there are several to congratulate for being 100% participants. That's quite an accomplishment guys and gals!

Mr. Super-Hunky
Sandy Moore
Monica
Copper
Mike White
Euan Morrison

16 medals!

My first medal!
You guys really know how to make this fun! Thanks so much!

Thanks Cu. Yes I am in VERY good company. I honestly don't know how our lovely Monica gets SO much accomplished however. I know Mike Whites playing comes effortlessly and I think Euans incentive is the home brew served up after each recital.

Congrats to all the heavy medalists.

Yeah, that's a fairly accurate assessment I think

S-H, you need to update your signature - get that 16th medal around your neck!

Where??? I don't see it.


Thanks Copper!

What do it mean?

Maybe he meant that he couldn't see the medal in her signature.

Here is the link for the 1 medal picture for your signature.

http://www.pianoworld.com/ABF_Medals/1medal.jpg

And look at the beautiful shiny gold medal that Mr. S-H has in his!

There are some nice rewards for participation.

The more medals, the more hot chicks you get. Everyone likes shiney things!

Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that Mr S-H is also the inventor/founder of the ABF recitals.

He should have a special medal!

I second that.

Sorry to appear really thick, but I find myself being honoured above (I presume this has got to do with the recital) but have no idea how this works. Can someone explain please?

Thanks for the link. I didn't know I could do that. I was just happy to see my name on the list!



If I want hot chicks, I go to KFC. But I don't think they'll take virtual medals from PW as payment.

tlt - you get a medal for facing down the red dot - that is to say, for recording. Copper always does the honors, with dignity. I print mine out and hang it on my office door.

The Roman numerals represent the recitals you've participated in.

For medals to put in your signature line - yea, Mary Bee, you've got yours! - DragonPianoPlayer has posted a thread with links.

As I said in that thread, we like hardware around here

Cathy

As Copper and Lisztaddict suggest, I DO deserve a "special" medal, one that signifies and captures my true persona and achievements. I'll even name it after myself if you don't mind.

I give you..(me actually) the Mr Super-hunky pompous-ass award. Presented and received both by me. Heck, I'll even work it into my signature. More shiney things to dangle!

<snort> I first saw hunky's medal over in the 1 thread. So I've already wiped the coffee off my screen. But mr super-hunky, you're the best!

Cathy

Haha, I didn't 'get it' until I looked closer...

It's only fitting for the 1 who started the recitals!

I wrote the above BEFORE I got the magnifying glass to take a closer look. The BIG medal is fitting - the big ____ I'm not sure of.

I wish I hadn't looked closer.

Yuck, yuck, yuck!!!

It can be a little confusing. Log in and go to My Stuff, then edit profile, down toward the bottom where it says signature line copy and paste this.



Whenever you get another medal just update the link within the [img]s

Drats, that didn't work!

Ok, type [img] on both sides of this link. http://www.pianoworld.com/ABF_Medals/1medal.jpg
in your signature line.

Wow, I can't wait to take this and show my piano teacher the prize for all her efforts. Thanks Cooper for all you work and keeping track of everyone's number of Red Dot Awards. I'm working on getting it into my signature.
Dot (no pun intended)

Well, I went to edit my profile, now let's see if my medal is there.
Thanks again Cooper.
Dot

You need to use [img] instead of (img).

Ed

And [img] at the beginning and [/img] at the end.

Should look something like:



With the correct file name for whatever medal you're using, of course. I just pasted mine from my signature.

Cooper!
