Hi folks,

I found some time to work on JGO again. I decided to improve on the 'appreciation' feature, and make it log which posts were appreciated, by which member(s) and when.

When you click 'Appreciate', which can be found next to 'Quote' above each post, the post will be awarded a medal. Hovering the medal will show who awarded the medal.

For an example of a post with some appreciations:
http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/veggie-patch/24006/msg/200308/view.html

At the moment we have two medal images, which I kinda grabbed from google:

Please send me your own! (16*16px)


I'd like to hear your feedback!

 - Riven

Thats really cool Riven. With the additions you make, the forum still managers to look clean. I'm really impressed.


Is it over kill to set a custom medal icon in the profile settings?
So by default everyone uses the same medal icon, but you can also set your own personal 16*16 image as a replacement.

I thought about that and I like the idea. I am however not going to allow people to upload binary to the server (bad memories...). I'm probably going to upload a bunch of medals and you get to select which one you wish to use. I can probably take suggestions for new medals, for everybody(?) to pick. But first we're going to see how it goes.

Have set myself a personal target to get 10 of these by the year 2020.
The order the medals were awarded doesn't seem correct but am sure we will forgive you on this insignificant point.  Good work again as ever Riven..

To the rihgt side of our "Quote" button .

edit : I'm just writing this quite obvious response because it took me a few days to localize the Appreciation button after it changed from the left side of the post (when the link was "Aprecciation++) to the top-right side .
