Competitions Section Icon Customization

[The Don]

I don't know about anyone else, but when I look to enter a competition, I don't want to win habbo credits as a prize so I will not enter a competition which offers that, the only ones I look to enter are the ones which offer VIP. So I thought of an idea which will benefit users who are selective in the competitions they enter,in the competitions forum, there should be an option to change the icon which comes up next to the thread to one representing the prize on offer. So if credits are the prize, the icon could be a coins, rep, a + reputation sign, or VIP, a VIP symbol.

Here's an example of what I mean.

When you win a competition you can choose to switch your credits to forum reputation, but yes, it would be quite handy!

That's a good idea as I know some people only enter comps that specifically offer VIP as a prize. :)

That would be nice. I didn't want to use prefixes cos they can look a bit messy but little icons dont sound too bad.
We also allow you to change credits into reputation if you don't like Habbo so you can still enter them, no excuses ;)

That's a pretty great idea if you ask me, It'll be quite nice to let people know what the prize is before they enter the competition. Just like what has already been said, some people may not want to win the credits or may only want to enter competitions to win forum VIP. I do hope this little feature will get added. :)

I do actually think that is a very good idea I must admit and it would come very much in handy as I do fee;ll the same way!

[David]

Interesting idea, would come in handy :P

[Mr-Trainor]

I think that's an interesting idea and could be useful if implemented.

I think most comps give out rep anyway so I'd probably just stick to the coins symbol and the VIP symbol but yes I like this idea :)

If I remember correctly the prefixes could be images instead of text so it could probably work that way. Then you have the nice small image instead of the word [VIP] or whatever it would be. Overall, it's a great suggestion.

Oh yea, I think you can do that :P. That's probably a better option than the icon because I don't think you can set an icon to just a particular forum (I might be wrong though :P).

yeah i didnt want [VIP], [Habbo] cos itd look messy but a coins icon for credits and the star(s) for vip would be better. Probably need one for both as well cos the current quest offers vip + credits so something like coins on a star. I'll have a talk with martin about it. :)

Good idea, however in the back of my mind I can remember trying icons in prefixes back when Jamesy was Forum Manager and we opted against it for some reason, although that's not to say it should not be tried as I think it would look pretty cool.

If you want to know when a competition for VIP or something is out, just sign up to the Competitions Notifications PM System thing.

There's a competitions notifications pm system? I had no idea lol

[Jurv]

I didn't know we were still using that pm system, I thought it had stopped! :P

[David]

I believe they stopped the notifications?

[Inseriousity.]

Yes, the notifications have been stopped for the time being. Too much faffing around. :)

[Yupt]

Ohwot. Why would you do that. CRY.

[Mr-Trainor]

Yea I was going to put than in my reply but then realised it must have stopped :P. Maybe something similar could be implemented though - not that I have an idea right now :P.

It's a very good suggestion and something that is possible, I believe Mike is talking to Martin about it so it could be something you'll see soon!!
