Title Medals

[Michael Morris]

Taking a page from The Admin Zone - I've devised some title medals which now appear below the user names of several medals so that you can easily identify who is and is not a staff member or community supporter.

So...so...must wait for the neon verison, yes?

I like them. Very nice.

I also like it that my name is at least bold again so my mod posts are noticed more easily.

Hmmm. Too early to know if I like it. I thought the custom user title was a nice, subtle way to show that you were a community supporter. And if you are an administrator, your name glowed! Plus you have "administrator" in your title.

True, people who are new might not recognize the significance of these things; but they wouldn't know what a "community supporter" was either.

Glow isn't possible in Firefox, so that solution must be scrapped.

We may not stay with this system - so please give your input. For now consider it an experiment.

Dunno. Feels it adds a gravitas to my posts that is not deserved.

The two word ones like Community Supporter are a little hard to read

You can identify CSs by their custom titles. And if a CS wants to keep silent about their status, they should be free to do that too IMNSHO. (By setting their custom title to 'Registered User,' say.)

Michael, I appreciate all the good work you do for Enworld, and you will never be praised enough for it, because who knows what would Enworld be without you. So, thanks for tirelessly trying to improve the website.

I did find it was a great idea to have indication of "1 minute ago", "one hour ago", etc., instead of normal datation. However, when it was reverted to normal datation I thought: "if that must be, let it be" rather than complain on the relevant thread.

However, today I am horrified. These little medals under the screen-names are simply ugly*. Sorry to say that of your work, but I simply find them hideous*. (On the other hand, great to see some name in bold font again). At least if an option to not display the status is available, I will revert to "registered user".

Sorry; just my (2 cents) opinion of course.

(*) EDIT: This would be much better if these medals were not under the name, but under the paragraph where the number of posts is indicated (at the bottom of the left column). It's not so much the medals themselves that are "hideous", but the way they are stuck to the font just under the name, giving an heavy and awkward look to it.

Positioning them under the name is an idea. Also, allowing them to be turned off - I can do that too - both you'r own seeing of them and wether your own is displayed.

Anyway, I'm going to bed now and then to class. I'll monkey with this more on Thursday.
