Not a major deal but I'm just wondering why I dont have the pro badge? I am a professional subscriber.

    You need to pass the Onshape Certified Professional exam in order to have the pro badge.

    The pro tag only shows up if you are browsing the forum from a computer. If on a mobile browser, it does not display.

    About a 14 second GIF

    That’s weird. I know I didn’t do any official paid certifications. To the best of my memory, when I payed my license 2 years ago my screen name automatically showed pro, instantly. 

    I did do a bunch of the training courses. Most were on my personal acct. then after paying, I did the rest on the pro acct.

    Thanks for the laugh Nick.

    That’s what I’m always saying nowadays. “I think this is what I did” or “if memory serves me correctly”

    Part of gettin older. LOL

    I think you hit it on the nose Nick. I think you guys get that PRO designation as soon as you pay

    My guess is that Lee somehow set up the account that we’re seeing in the forum, outside of his pro membership. And so it’s not reflecting the PRO designation 

    I’d be curious to know that under the signin Lee uses for the forum, if he’s able to create private documents

    Yeah, make sense. Lee, did you have a free personal account before you paid for the professional account? If so, you are probably logged onto the forums with that account. That might also explain why your posts take a long time to be approved. I'd bet there is an algorithm where if a member is paying 1500 plus per year, the forum won't tag them as potential spam, ha ha.

    Try getting to the forums from within the CAD application. On the top right of the screen where you name is, click on the question mark to the left of it. Pick forums from within the drop down. That "should" log you onto the forum with your professional account.
