Idle curiosity having never considered it before.  What does it mean?

It seems that free members = black and blue (they probably deserve it 😉).  Full members = either black and green, black and red or all black. Ish, I may have this wrong. Random? Secret code?

Secretly hoping black and red isn't code for 'the mods think you're a knob'!

They signify which arguelumpian tribe you belong to, so when the great STW war breaks out you know who to attack with bombers, whose shoes you should wee in, and whose lawn you should hammer frozen sausages into. Just always remember it is against the Geneva convention to kick anybody's back doors in.

Surely that's the wrong way round? The peasants should be beta-testing it for us. At least that way we get some value from them.

So I think the colour of the ST logo directly to the left of your username is your membership status, the grey one to the left of that is the 'like' button and the number directly below the grey logo, if any, is how many likes that post has gotten?

@tjagain

Incorrect, according to the Dulux colour chart, it's 'marine splash'.

I thought the logo colour scheme had been around for quite a while,  or have I gone through some kind of time vortex?

You're right, it's been around for a good while.  I just didn't know if the colours were significant so thought I'd ask. It's just the 'like' feature that's new.

Considering many people subscribed to support the magazine (even if they don't read it from cover to cover) it seems a bit of a waste of resources to differentiate users further. Is this is pre-cursor to yet more content hidden away behind subscriber paywalls?

To be honest I think I'd have preferred it if the money was spent on content or fixing the problem where posts take 2 minutes to complete after hitting submit.

I only do it to get the black logo, so it worked on me.
