Strange forum ranking?

[diamonddriller]

Apparently, I joined in early 2014, and have around 160 posts, an excellent reputation and 3 badges.

However, I am classified as a "Newbie"  (1/14 of the ranks) still..........?

Hardly a serious matter, but what on earth would I need to do to progress? 

Just noticed I got another badge for starting a conversation (this one).  I must have initiated several others over the years.

It's a side effect of a recent forum upgrade.

Thanks Ben.  I sort of wondered whether that would be the explanation!  As I get older, it's more unusual to be a "newbie" in anything
