The discussion revolves around a feature to visually reward users for exceptional contributions, such as a crown or laurel wreath around their avatar. JimmyKater inquired about the possibility of implementing this feature, but HAWK explained that it’s not feasible since avatars are applied universally to all posts by a user.
As an alternative, NateDhaliwal suggested using the Solved plugin and custom badges, which JimmyKater considered but felt wasn’t exactly what they were looking for. Moin then mentioned that a feature is in development to display badges on specific posts for which they were awarded, which JimmyKater found promising.
this is going to my first posting on here but I’ve been here several times before as a visitor. So I know how to use the searchfunction and did use it ahead of opening this thread since I couldn’t find anything related to it.
In our forum we had a discussion about if and how we could visibly reward users filing extraordinary good threads or answers and someone came up with the idea of having a kind of crown or laurel wreath around their buddyicon for and on that special contribution.
Is such a thing possible at all… and if yes how?
I would be very happy if someone could get me into the right direction where to search.
So thanks in advance for every helping comment.
cheers
Jimmy
PS: If I was missing some more details pls let me know and I would add that.
Hey Jimmy – I think you’re asking if someone’s avatar can be decorated in a specific way on one post only, is that correct? If so, that’s not possible because the same avatar is applied to all posts by the user. Have you considered awarding a custom badge instead?
Perhaps the Solved plugin? Then there are badges like Solved, Guidance Counselor, Know-it-all and Solution Institution to reward users with many Solutions.
Thanks @NateDhaliwal for bringing my attention to the solved-plugin, it’s always worth to have a look into that. And we do have it enabled already.
But it’s not exactly what I mean since usually it’s about solved threads/solutions. Our aim was more like give this “very good thread”-reward to someone who like filed a very good thread that exactly fits our needs (we have an answer-template underlaid and we really need these details we’re asking for. most of our users don’t care [we’re working on this in te background]).
what a pity… and I understand your explanation very well. sigh
not yet, tbh. But as I think that we have wonderful awards it seems that nobody seems to really care about those. But none-the-less it’s a good idea to talk about in the team.
