It's easy to forget that before "kudoes" there used to be "votes" and these all vanished in one of the site "upgrades".

So any of your stories posted in the days of "votes" went back to a zero record of appreciation and now have to earn a new record of "kudoes" but, of course, have already been read by most of the BC audience so only attract attention from a small minority of latecomers.

Shame, innit, but we still love your stories,

Joanne
