Reward sign on avatar (or similar)

Hey there dear forumists.

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]).

@HAWK

thanks for your reply as well…

this is correct.

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.

A feature is in development which shows the badge on the posts for which it was awarded Wishlist: visual cue for "user got a badge for this post"
