DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I only use mobile and this post confused me greatly. No signatures. No baubles. I feel like a second-class citizen over here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine if every single post had a signature with a bunch of links and text and probably images, and then a bunch of little award icons below that? Mobile would feel incredibly cluttered. Desktop has the space, so desktop users get to see the extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Oh yeah. And to answer the actual OP question, they are as @acromite53 has said - badges/awards. We called them "Baubles and Charms" to keep with a kind of "fantasy" theme, what with the Sage and all. The "Lol get it?" Charm is literally a sprig of sage, the herb. More specifically... Baubles - awards given out automagically for completing some "task" that the forum software can detect. Stuff like being a Subscriber, or getting a lot of posts/likes/etc.. Charms - awards that we hand out manually. Stuff like the sage award I've been haphazardly handing out, or more aptly for, say, winning an official contest or participating in an event.

Splain | 2,561 Editorials Team · Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Feature request: From my experience of being on NintendoAge since 2016 (so, missing most of it) I never really felt like a full member because of references to campouts, inner circles, and badges that looked like they were inside jokes. I was always a visitor, never one of the "real" NA members. So I think it might be wise (sagely, even) to keep absolutely everything out of the new Baubles and Charms that isn't immediately understandable to newcomers. Or at least very accessible with minimal digging. Just a request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got some features that NA was missing which will help alleviate this: When you hover over an award it shows the name Direct link to all of the members' earned awards On the Baubles and Charms page for a user you can see the description, which will give detailed info on how they earned it The current awards lack these descriptions, but that's really just cuz I put them live at 4am and didn't quiiiite complete it; I just wanted to get it released so we can get the ball rolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALTQQ | 87 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Maybe make it viewable in profiles on mobile? A lot of ppl use mobile devices instead of computers to browse. I never use a computer for anything really. We have one with a modem hooked up to it and a scanner. That's about it. All my internet stuff is phone only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my internet stuff is phone only. In all seriousness, it would be cool to see the baubles and charms on mobile. There is a decent amount of white space to the right of users' name or perhaps as a small signature line. But not today of course! Everyone should enjoy their Christmas or other holidays of choice! Especially you @Gloves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially you @Gloves! The space available beside names is variable, as you can have pretty long names. I'd probably add a row below the existing user info. That way it's a bit more obvious. I'd make them somewhat smaller too. I'll consider it at the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,903 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Thanks for adding this. I was about to ask because I didn't see it in the activity history (and I didn't expand enough history.) So, consider this a bump for people rolling in after the holiday. Thanks for the magical sage lettuce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
