Interesting. Must be a new thing as I've never seen anyone post more than a "we were recognized for our Diamond status" (usually when they get an upgrade) and that's it. Perhaps it's because of a lot of us making it known that the differences are almost non-existent at this property. Weird about the invite to the manager's reception though as I thought that was for all guests on Rangali Island
and for Golds as well. I've gotten the feeling on one or two occasions that some of the staff will actually say "It's because you are a Diamond" which is true to a point but they won't say "Golds get it as well". I don't know. Can anyone pitch in with info about the current situation with the Manager's Reception?

There's an option to add a gallery to your FlyerTalk profile. You could put the pics in there although they are resized and compressed so not good if you want to keep the size and more importantly the quality. If not, you can host them on any free pic hosting site like Photobucket, Tinypic or others.
