View Full Version : Icon for subscribers

Is there a way to put a little icon next to the username of posters that become subscribers? Like a 2nd avatar, but everyone gets the same one, and on the other side. Something that appears in their profile and on individual posts.

Thanks in advance.

Are your subscribers in a specific usergroup? If so, template conditionals will do it for you.

Do you know of a mod that does this? I know zero about coding.

Yes, they'd be assigned a 2nd usergroup.

Catch me on Instant Messenger (see in my profile) if you have it and I will help you out with the coding. Right now, there is no modification for this

Thanks for the offer, but I have no IM just now.

But here's a mockup of what I had in mind. Much room for improvement, of course.

Perhaps clicking on the icon itself could take you to the subscription page.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a good idea?

Heck no. I use it.

see the bogger tracks with "subscriber" put through it?

It increased paid memberships ten fold when people started being reminded in every thread that it is an option to become a subscriber with added benefits.

If you can't code, you don't have IM, and there isn't a mod, I think you're out of luck though

So I guess my question is: if it's actually a good idea, why doesn't someone make a mod?

because it takes 7 seconds to modify the "subscribers" user group templates to make it work.

I just found this thread and am hoping one of the above posters, or another member, can help me w/ the template change I need to do? I just need to know what I'm adding and where. Thank you!
