SDS Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 A recent upgrade changed the member ranking system (the rockets you see). Each level supports its own icon. What do you suggest for the different levels? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Is there a way so each level isn’t just the same rocket? Like the icon literally is what indicates what level you are versus Having to click it and go to their profile to see what level they are?

vtnatefootball11 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Appreciate all the work done here at TBD by the mods/admins. Question though, are "points" solely just based on the number of posts without reference to the substance of the posts? Any extra points for threads started vs. mere response? Not saying there is an easy way to objectively quantify that, just a curious question from a long time reader, but only very recent poster. Go Bills! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For probation use my ICON (I will abandon) or the "toy" that mentioned Brady thrown on the field a few years ago. For the top levels a mix of Beane/Mcdermott?J Allen.

Blainorama5 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 The real question from a design perspective is what kind of options are available? - Just color changes to the background behind the rocket? - Individual icons for each? If so, is there a set the Admins have to choose from - or can they be custom designed? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blainorama5 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Assuming custom icons are a possibility, I may take a stab at designing a round of them later tonight... They're small so they'll need to be pretty simple. (I've been a graphic designer for over 30 years) 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GUESS is that the space where the rockets are now can probably be filled with whatever the Admins choose to fill them with. JPG, PNG, etc. Probably handled just like our profile pics.
