Yeah - I noticed!:mad:
I want the cups back!
Must be Staff that are behind this plot. Now that they have their fancy new Power Puff Girls avatars, the power has gone to their heads - LOL!!

Yeah, I noticed that I had beans instead of cups when I posted earlier... it looks like you don't earn the cups until you have a higher post count now.

It's a neat idea, but the different icons look pretty inconsistent.

No - I don't see how you work that out. briancurtin has less than you and he has cups, but I swear he had beans earlier. :???:

Could be some sort of invasion by bean obsessed aliens on a mission to destroy all cups. Or they just changed the pics from beans to cups. We can only speculate at this point

I have no idea what's going on then. I'm really drunk right now. All I know is that I didn't have beans last week. :KS

Maybe, the staff are trying to take all the cups and use them for some nefarious scheme.....

Let's lunch Operation CUPS to locate and retrieve the cups and destroy the BEANS!

well, I created two different beans (raw & roasted), espresso cups, cappuccino w/foam cups, to-go cups, coffee presses, and some extra special ones.

woah. cool down man.

this *is* a technical forum - not a random one... so we only count when you post in the technical support areas and help people... which is kinda what this particular forum is about... you know... helping people.

Also, I created different images for fun, just liked I created the first set.... I just added more whimsy this time around...

I really don't like the beans though, but I guess I'm stuck with them! Guess I'll have to earn some cups - a nice steaming mug!

What is the difference between the normal coffee cups and the takeaway variety?

well... let's see here... raw beans, roasted beans, and espresso cups for users; cappuccino cups for teams; takeaway or to-go cups for staff; coffee pots for admins; some special icons for beanie of the month; a fun bean/cup mix for developers.... and some other little bits of whimsy.

I think the amount of coffee/caffeine one takes in goes up considerable with one's required duties/workload/responsibilities. ;)

hello my fifth shot of espresso today... ;)

Here is an idea... How about replacing coffee beans with beer mugs for all those who post frequently in the community forum? I am not sure about others but it would most certainly compliment my avatar.

EDIT: Comment format changed. Well I tried!

Thanks Kass for the explanation. I feel happier now!:D

Ouch! that hurt! But I agree... my english teacher would have broken some major international child-abuse laws if she knew I would grow up to write like this :-(

I really love my cappuccino cups (as well as the look of the forum in general).

They really make me feel at home :)

(and Cappuccino is Italian)
