Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)

[dogie]

I added a new Legendary membergroup with a yellow coin. I am completely open to the possibility of changing both the name and the coin color if people don't like them. In particular, if people find that threads are now too "glittery" with all of the yellow coins, I will remove the color or make it more subtle. If you think that some other color would work better, download the legendary.gif image, modify it with your color, and post your modified GIF image. Don't change anything but the color of that one region in the image, though. (I make these images by opening the image in GIMP, selecting the colored region, and then using the Colorize tool.)

To make things more fun, the Legendary membergroup has no universal activity requirement. You are guaranteed to become Legendary somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity, but the exact point in this range at which you become Legendary is random per user.

Also, I made it so that Staff have the coin icons for their post group instead of a fixed 5 coins.

Then Theymos is retiring from the forum?

No.

This is officially a conspiracy to prevent me being the top rank. Every time I get close, POW, rule change, 4th time now xD Another 250 to 500 days + inflation again.

What is this  ?

When you have 1337 posts. A little forum easter egg.

Needs updated. Theymos just added a new rank Legendary.

Why my activity stuck at 238 ? It is not increasing? How can I be a senior member ? Thanks.

It will go up next time at next Tuesday.
Last time it went up at 5th so next is 19th since they go up every other Tuesday
After that next time it goes up is 2th at next month.
Assuming you make at least 1 post at every two weeks period.

The legendary rank is a cool addition!
The half yellow coin seems a bit boring - maybe make it into a navy blue, or dark orange?  Hopefully those will stand out a bit better.

If you do this from Half Yellow to Half Blue or Green then its much better currently looking not good

The yellow in the OP, used to describe the colour of the last Legendary half-coin, is impossible to read on my monitor and I suspect many others. It would be better to remove the styling and simply read "yellow", in the default text colour.

I can see them, not super well but still readable.
Maybe yellow would be better.
Btw, at my schools computers quotes look same color as post that is quoting them.

It looks OK to me (is your monitor calibrated?) and I decided to set it this way so that it's consistent with other colors that are mentioned there, but if there are more people having problems reading it then it might be a good idea to change it.

[MakeBelieve]

I struggled at first reading the coin and can't really see much of it on my monitor but I know what it looks like now so I know who is legendary.

Colour calibrated Dell 2407 FPW here and it still looks weird, I think generally yellows don't work great online.

[Muhammed Zakir]

hard to see yellow half coin...looks like 4.5 coins to me.

Orange or Maroon may be good, IMO. Yellow isn't visible easily.
