Got a suggestion how we can improve? Post it here.

Green Circles Of Awesomeness?

Postby JamishT » Thu Apr 16, 2015 8:53 pm

What are these green circles under the avatars of non-mods? Are they levels of awesomeness? Are they signs of how long a person has been a member? What is going onnnnnnn!?!?

With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

Oh, yeah.

That's meeee. I've been setting custom icons and what not for different groups. The circles as of now represent the total number of posts. Basically they relate to the little title underneath your avatar. I can add any custom image to the profile basically. I'm working on icons for mods and admins now, I'll introduce them slowly. It's not a permanent feature or anything. It's just something I'm tinkering with to see if it's viable.

If anyone has any ideas, suggestions, feedback, you can post here (feel free to say it's shit). Also, head's up it's going to be changing here and there as I fiddle around with it.

EDIT:

IF you don't want the blob displayed under your name, you can go to your Profile>Usergroups>Select "TCS Rebel Faction" > Join it > and then Hit "Change Default Group"

Make so hovering each one of the circles show their titles, to improve the sense of accomplishment for wasting our lives away in this madhouse.

Ugh. SERIOUSLY? Green circles are SO yesterday. Now it's all about green LINES. You disgust me.

I actually preferred the dots or segmented bar; lines with certain colors give us no more information than the colors in our names do, but numbers of segments or dots are an immediate visual indicator corresponding to quantity of posts of reputation. Either way, it's a nice update that adds some TCS-specific flavor to the forum.

The segmented bars are nicer than the solid bars. The dots are hideous though.

Nope, nope nope nope.

No dots or lines or bars. They all look hideous and serve no purpose. What do the different colours mean, do we need an extra graph to figure out he graph?

In case you were wondering: no.

If there has to be something under our names, I'd have preferred the dots. The bar just feels weird and extraneous.

Maybe make it so that we can enable the dots or the lines based on our preference for one or the other, if that's feasible?
