Since this new layout is so feature-packed, perhaps there's a way to create a GB participation button that can be clicked to open a display window (sort of like when you mouse-over the Alerts icon)?I really love the models you guys build, and I also really love your icons at the bottom of the page, however....
Some of you guys have a ton of them.
At some point we might have to consider limiting the number, or changing the system. The reason being, at some point 1 page of a thread will be taken up by one members post because the whole page will be taken up with icons.
It is the same reason we had to limit the size of the siggy that members where making.
Something to start thinking about.
Was going to suggest a similar idea Dave, just one icon that opens a pop up window showing your awards !Since this new layout is so feature-packed, perhaps there's a way to create a GB participation button that can be clicked to open a display window (sort of like when you mouse-over the Alerts icon)?
The current click and expand seems to do the job!
I was referring to something along the lines of a GB participation count much like the "Trophy" points seen on the left, below the member's avatar.I don't like the click and expand.
Get rid of it. Whatever you have below your post shoukd remain visible (siggy or GB icons, or both), but the size should be limited.
I saw that and I thought it was really cool, but as the forum is nearing 30 Group Builds, that'll be a ton of icons even for the sidebar.I think Horse is working for something like this.

Just as you can click the "Trophy Points" value, resulting in a popup window that shows a list of "points", then perhaps below the trophy, have the "Group Builds" with a clickable value that will open a window (like trophy points does) and show the GB icons.
This will allow a member to show off one or fifty GB icons without a massive sig and it is a forum acheivement, so would be right at home in the member info bar.
So for example:

Better late than never, eh Cory?It's a great idea, I just don't know how easy it will be to implement, especially with pop up blockers potentially getting in the way of it.
And yes, I realize I'm almost a month late.
