Awards icons on the Forums
I notice this on the FAQ. I would really like you guys to take another look at this.
Q. Why doesn't the image show in the forums?
A. We felt that there was already a lot of space taken up with other functionality. There is limited real estate in the forum avatar area so a balance must be struck.
We are looking into options for displaying the images here in the future.
What I am trying to do, is use the award system to give readers on the forum a gage on how experienced the authors are. I plan to give awards to members when they reach level 20, 40, 60 on a class, which will give weight to their advise on the class forums. I will also assign an award to class leaders. Right now, I can give those award, but they really aren't displayed anywhere that's useful. I know space is limited on the forums, but this is well worth it. You can limit the pixel size of the icons or have two award icons, one for the gaudy full-sized award and one for the forum icon. I think you can also limit the number of awards that can be displayed on the forums. This won't be as good as listing all of the experience of my members, but would be a reasonable compromise for space. I just may have to make a multi-class award.

This is definitely an interesting idea, but it’s not something we’re currently planning to implement.
