New feature: highlighting posts of specific members

[Riven]

Some time ago I restyled the JGO header and due to the general lack of feedback, it simply was time to modify something else of JGO.

From now on, you can highlight the posts of members of your choice.

• Open the Profile of the poster
• Go to ‘Post visibility’…
• Pick ‘highlight posts’ from the dropdown box

The posts of that member will now have a light-green background instead of the light-blue one. I, for one, find it very useful to quickly scan a topic for interesting post(er)s.

Needless to say you can also choose to hide all posts of a member… fwiw… :persecutioncomplex: Feedback appreciated!

If for whatever reason I thought multiple people were interesting on this forum would it be possible to use different highlighting colors for the different users of interest in a thread? It wouldn’t need to be a unique color across the entire forum.

Otherwise this is cool (but should not be used as a self-esteem boost for you if you access the database to count how many people mark you as interesting).

Easy to add. The only problem is writing a user-interface that lets you pick the colors… bleh.

No worries, it will be for everybody to see. Just give it time, and it will converge to something meaningful.

I didn’t mean we should have a picker. Just unique shades of green for each user that I’ve marked as interested in a thread so they look somewhat different if they’re next to each other.

Maybe. But it sure is quiet. Doesn’t hide threads though, too bad!

lol. +1 medal.

Can we also see the 25 least interesting members (most hides)? Am aiming for #3 in this one. I think we all know the top 2 :-
Nice feature btw. I assume people can’t see who is hiding them?

Yes, you are an angry, young man.
Oops, same for me 2 years ago

Just add

“Highlight posts (greenish)”
“Highlight posts (blueish)”
“Highlight posts (redish)”
“Highlight posts (purpleish)”
“Highlight posts (cyanprimeish)”
etc.

to the dropdown. 5 to 8 colors should be good enough

On that page, the link on Markus_Persson gets me to http://www.java-gaming.org/index.php?action=reminder instead of his profile. All the other links look fine.

How work the awesome thing? Is it based on something?

Already thought of that. Although it’d would be technically the easiest solution, it’d look a bit weird.

Out of everybody that highlighted your posts, you had the least ‘followers’. You’re already rising… go get 'em!

My poor attempt at getting Markus, who forgot his password, to join again :point:
