Hi Anon,

What error where you getting? I took a look at the profile and seen that you made edits to the profile. If you need more assistance feel free to reply.

Hi Steve

This is what it says, I've never gotten that before

If you are not already coordinating with a pre-1700 project, click here before proceeding (required). Thank you!

It says this for everybody, badged or not.

I too was caught out by this warning message. I didn't realise that having the pre 1700 badge overrode  coordinating with a pre-1700 project

The warning message needs amending and clarifying

Thank you. I didn't know either way. I had not ran into it before.

The pre-1700 badge doesn't override it.  I've got the badge, and I still get the banner.  I just ignore it because I know I'm already involved with a pre-1700 project.

There was always a message.  They've changed the wording and the colour.

It's aimed at badgeholders - without the badge, presumably you won't get that far, you'll just be told you need to get the badge.

Of course! *smacks forehead* Why didn't I think of that?!

I expect it is because of this new form that Chris has introduced:
