As a bit of incentive to help move the material from the old Links and Download Manager onto the new Download Manager (and as a tool to help myself learn PHP), I have set up a new badge. The "uploads" badge changes depending on how many submissions you have made to the new Download Manager. I will be working on details for it later: I would like it to be based on both number of submissions and number of downloads of your submissions, but we shall see. In the meantime, I hope it encourages people to re-submit things from the old LDM, so that I can delete the damned thing!

I will be trying to add some more functionality to the badge: for example, I want it to list all resources submitted by the poster when you click on it. I'd also love users to be able to view their old badges, and maybe even select which one they want to display, in their user profiles. We'll see.

Huh? I don't get it.

 

[Erk]

On the left are the old ezine and rrrb badges, on the right are the new ones.

 

[Elijah von Bose]

Am I the only person who thinks they look identical?

 

[illustrationism]

I'd have to agree... They look very much the same. Though I can tell that the files are different files.

 

[Zabby]

Um, different colours, different font, different positioning... the colours at the very least stand out. Hpw can people not see this? Or am I missing something too?

For people seeing the same one, Right Click on the right hand badge, click "View Image" and then hit the refresh button.

They're a bit harder to read now, but I like the more rounded look of the buttons instead of them just being rectangles.

 

[Norris]

Hmm. Now that I'm using Internet Explorer I now can see the differences.

This website is not very friendly towards Firefox users.

You were just seeing the image in the cache. It has nothing to do with what browser you're using. It happens with all of them if an image's name and url are the same, the image is in the cache, but the image has changed.

 

[Erk]

Yes, I can't see how the site would be that firefox-unfriendly since I am the one building it and frankly I never use internet explorer. There could be a dozen errors in IE that I am unaware of, but it is pretty unlikely I would miss any in FF ...

 

[illustrationism]

They look fine now. I had hit refresh but nothing changed. I'm on a different machine now too, so maybe that has something to do with it. =P

 

[Raziel]

Nice, pretty nice. Are you going to change other badges like the Support Team badges?

 

[Afro Samurai]

The Download Manager badge rule and what I like the most is the number of submissions. The new ezine and rrrb are nice.

 

[The Storyteller]

I like the new badges, even though I have one they are cool.

 

[Roman Candle]

Err, I've always wondered, do people have any control over what badges are displayed? I've always been a bit clueless ^_^

 

[Erk]

Nope, RC, only sponsors can set their badge. I am looking into making a new system that lets users control their badges though.. but no time soon.

*looks through computer for something worth submitting*
