Hello!

[Trixie the Ultimate 1]

Hi everyone!

I'm Trixie the Ultimate, and I am a pegasister who just joined here. I'm still figuring out the site, and I just had one question. What are the badge thingies underneath my picture? Mine says blank flank, but I've seen other people with ones that say different things. How do I change it?

Thanks for your time, have a great day!

Hi there!
And welcome to the forums! I'm sure you'll have a great time here and meet a lot of new friends.
To answer your question, these "badge thingies" are which group you belong in as much as I know. The more posts you start/reply to, the higher your rank will be.
If I remember correctly, you get a new one when you replied to enough posts. and since you're a blank flank at the moment, I think the next one is when you get to 5 posts. 
Hope this helps.

Welcome to the forums!

 

The badges below your avatar don't really mean anything, but they're determined by the number of posts you have. If you click on them, it brings up a table of all the badges and how many posts you need to get them.

 

Edit: Actually, the first two badges do mean something, because you're not considered a full member until you reach cupcake status (40 posts).
