Title: Moderator indicator
Post by: desocietas on March 11, 2012, 07:00:40 pm
I can't remember if one of us had already suggested this, but could mod responses be marked somehow in the forums?  Like a diff color, a special badge that shows up under their avatar, something to differentiate.

So, you know, n00bs can tell if it's just some random user answering or if the info given is straight from the site-makin' folks.

I'm actually working on a very large forum overhaul and this will be one of the features.

I figured.  I don't imagine @matt to be the sort to overstate things...

No need to BYOB. My other hobby is homebrewing and I've got a few cases of beer ready to roll! :)

ta-da! the Admins and Mods should all be noted now. Sadly I think we may have lost the @ feature when tagging users.
Title: Re: Moderator indicator

@scott  (confirmed, tags don't work any more)

While I miss it a bit, I think the improvements greatly overshadow the loss of the tagging function.

Ya I'll miss the @ tags as well, but this forum is so much nicer than the Vanilla one we had previously. It's more, traditional.

Testing to see if I'm a red name.

Edit:  Hmm, it appears as though I'm not an admin anymore.  I also lost access to the admin forum.

We also lost our total posts counts from the last forum. Good thing we never implemented the forum badge. :)

you can actually still see your forum post total on the stats page: http://vgcollect.com/pacpix/stats

Are the names supposed to be in red? If so, this falls right into the area of the spectrum where I'm color blind. All the names look to be the same color to me. The only differences I'm picking up on so far is the little bars under the names (where most everyone is green/yellow and the admins are red).

I just assumed that it must be the red bars.

Nope, Fox and I (and maybe others) seem to not be staffers :/

I was listed as a mod for like a minute yesterday, then it disappeared.
