Welcome to The SitePoint Forums

Cool, because I actually like the idea. Badges can be really cool and if we can implement them in creative ways, all the better. I’d love to try and come up with some badges that can be automated based on users completing/accomplishing certain tasks.

Multiple badges could be fun. Perhaps limit based on category though. One trust level badge is allowed to be displayed, one community award badge (motm or forum awards etc) and then one badge per competition type etc. I’d like that. Just a thought.

The display on a member’s “card” is limited, though I don’t know what criteria is used to decide which 3 to show.

I was actually thinking more along the lines of this thread. I see Mittineague, the mod symbol, and Team Leader. Along that line would be the badge categories you display. It’d be probably 5 badges MAX (or so) and would look “cool.”

Thanks Hawk.

I’ve so rarely won anything (anywhere in the world) I thought it would be nice to show that I actually do win on occasion…

Ah, I undertand. Not much chance of that making it into Discourse Core, the prevailing tendency is to reduce distracting “visual clutter” to help visitors focus on what’s “most important”, i.e. the discussion content.

That’s not to say that if there are enough requests, it will never make it into SitePoint’s code as a plugin some day. Just that for now the devs have their plates more than full.

Awesome @HAWK !!!

Maybe this would be a great time to go ahead and expand the Profile area for these badges. Hey! And include fixing the look and feel of the that page overall. Really, adding content there and having a scroll bar appear that consumes almost 50% of the look and feel is sucky.

Done :slight_smile:

Hey Buddy, there are a number of cosmetic changes along those lines that we need to get to, but there are many functional changes that need to happen first.

Cool!! Thanks @HAWK

@HAWK any easy way to get a link to the competition topic on the page for those interested in following through?

Thank you @cpradio

Hey!

Is there a way I can search threads that don’t have any replies yet? Like that, ‘Unanswered Threads’ link we used to have before?

Yep!

Nice! Thank you!

Thanks @HAWK

This topic is no longer a banner. It will no longer appear at the top of every page.

Hi all, the new looks gonna take some getting used to! Can anyone post the link for the forum where I can post about Notepad++ please? Thanks.

What did you want to post about Notepad++? Are you looking for advice on using it? In that case, either General Web Dev or Community would probably be best, depending on your question. (But as with vBulletin, topics can be moved if necessary, so don’t worry too much about it.)
