(Actually, what I really want is a big contest where any member can submit ribbon designs and we all vote on them and the top eighteen or so become the board's new 'medals'.)

I'm all for that :)

And it is 16


So far. . .

I'm going to miss my "Hero of the Draconis Combine" medal.

While the award ribbons look pretty good and follow a logical progression & unified colour scheme, I wish there were more pixels between them (both horizontally & vertically).  I'd find them easier to 'read' with more of a border effect.

Agreed with Kyle, they are really aggressive in their appearance when compared to the older features. The pale blue/gray and white theme is very subdued.

Also, when looking at threads, this is a bit annoying:


Could the like buttons be only inside threads? As well as the "x people liked this" note?

Done :)

Where are the Reddit guys when you actually need them for something?  :)

I'm not a fan of the changes. We already had the "thanks" system, and the new buttons are kind of obnoxious.

There are a lot of bad color combinations on the tags.  I can't read this :/




This hurts my eyes.




The (xyz liked this) text crashes into the icons




In general the tags and like buttons are ... visually intense ... compared to the rest of the forum's default theme.

Is there a way to just disable tags and like buttons in my forum profile somehow?

The colors are auto-generated I believe. I did not set them up.

I will look at disabling them for people.

What's up with the like / unlike system.

Why not?

Don't we already have thanks?

You can always click Additional Options and add it as an attachment. But that is size limited due to PHP.

And doesn't permit in-line images as far as I know
