I would have thought a simple answer to the "mis-posted and locked" issue is that the new PPRuNe Badge
is news 
IFR,
Can I get an upgrade from my old-style one? Never mind - I'll probably keep it, along with my PanAm Frequent Flyer bag-tags as "Aviation History"
I'll be sending in a kite nearer the time of my next UK trip.
If anyone in RUH, JED, BAH or DAM is interested, I'll be in UK mid-August and I could collect badges and distribute them during my travels out this way
