Grand Maester Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I've noticed that there are number of areas in which member id badges on Neowin vary and I'm not sure why as it seems like most of the stuff I've seen is not under the user's control. For example, there are different "groups:" some like "registered" and "global moderator" make sense, but other's like "subscriber" are ambiguous at best and it seems that some group names are actually unique to a particular member. What's the deal with this? Also it's seems like the post ranking structure varies considerably, there's definitely a neowin standard ranking system (neowinian, neowinian^2, neowinian^3, etc.) But some members seem to have ranks that are completely made up. How is this possible? Finally, some people seem to have figured out a way to add graphics to the profile badge, (I'm not talking about signatures at the bottom of posts or the badge avatars but additional images on the actual badge on the left of each post), how is this possible? Please excuse my ignorance, but after being a member (allbeit participating off and on) for 3 or 4 years now, it's really started to bother me that I can't figure it out.

Grand Maester Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=78875 Ok, that helped, but it doesn't explain those members who have custom ranks that aren't listed there. What's with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wannes Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Grand Maester, you're asking an awful lot of questions lately which can all be solved by the search function. I'd advice you to type in your question there before asking it here. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PL_ Veteran Posted November 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2008 Finally, some people seem to have figured out a way to add graphics to the profile badge, (I'm not talking about signatures at the bottom of posts or the badge avatars but additional images on the actual badge on the left of each post), how is this possible? It's not. Any and all of the possible badges are categorized into groups. Veterans are ex-staff that left on good terms. MVCs are members that have been rewarded for their community contributions. Subscribers are members that have paid money for extra features. It's not exactly unique to us, three of the websites that I visit daily (deviantArt, Last.fm, and Neowin) all have Subscriber groups of members and a subscription system in place.

Rob Veteran Posted November 16, 2008 Veteran Share Posted November 16, 2008 If you screenshot anything you're unfamiliar with, we'll explain it. :) The groups are very well defined here and there's no facility for per-user custom badges whatsoever.

Konstanov Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Ok... well for starters, what's your group mean? Neowin Developer...that's one I haven't seen before. He's a web developer for Neowin, which means he designs things like the new Finity design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wannes Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 He's a web developer for Neowin, which means he designs things like the new Finity design. The developer team actually does everything concerning coding around Neowin. This can go from a simple adjustment in the code to writing a whole mobile skin.
