Forum flags

[-:Undertaker:-]

I love the forum flags that have been added, I did say a while ago we should be allowed flag icons next to our locations but this is better and they are very well done for small icons. A well done on that front. Can we add over time more flags to the collection though for more variety? Like shire flags (Devon, Kent, Essex, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire etc) along with more mainstream St Patrick's Cross, Ulster Flag and St Davids Flag?

But yeah I love them apart from the one Chippiewill has cursed me with. :P

[Chippiewill]

It was fun whilst it lasted :(

I'm not sure we want to go crazy with adding flags, I'm not sure what the appeal to most users of a county flag would be.

[Nick]

HAHA. Glad you liked them. Of course we can add more in the future, such as limited edition one like St Patricks etc!!

At least I know which one to put on for April Fool's Day.

And is the plan to release other icons because I only just noticed baloons and champagne etc? They all look good given their size.

[Chippiewill]

I think the idea is to keep adding icons every so often with a mixture of limited/permanent availability.

[Nick]

We will probably release more different icons other than flags over seasonal things. Hopefully we can add even more than just icons.

It doesnt look like it supports mobile before anyone brings it up. Not sure why as the others do

I demand that a guernsey flag is done so I can wear it!
Otherwise pretty cool!

was the point about allowing them permanently just ignored? or?

I wish they didn't cost so much, so I could wear the Welsh one for longer, but hey ho.

i take it they don't come up automatically then

Oh yeah um they're cool :}

[Kardan]

I'm not sure I like the idea of county flags, this isn't /r/unitedkingdom

[Rachel]

They look cool but 1k tokens. ..well i mean for 2 weeks is costly but once I have enough tokens, I might buy thte the Canadian flag :).

1,000 tokens should get you a month not two weeks :(

[scottish]

1,000 tokens is 200 posts or 100 threads.

that should get you permanent ;l

like tokens might seem really high cause some of us have like 28k but that's just cause there was nothing to buy, you shouldn't overvalue stuff based on amount of tokens people have.


I think 200 posts/100 threads is a perfectly acceptable amount to request for permanent icon next to your name. and let's be honest most people are going to buy multiple not just one.

[AgnesIO]

1000 should be one month not two weeks.

Also, what numpty uploaded them? "Netherlands Flag" [Indian Flag]. Top effort :P

I like the idea of it being permanent if there was a way for members to change their icon when they want to (to any other ones they have purchased).

[Empired]

You shouldn't be able to buy anything permanently except name changes obviously. If people can get something permanently then they're not going to buy other things are they :P

I'd just cut down on the price of the flags at the moment.

They're cool, I like the variety we have and it'll be great to see limited ones for seasonal holidays. Perhaps a shamrock for St. Patrick's Day :P.

Guys I know some people would prefer have theme permanent but to be honest we haven't spoken about it too much but I'm sure we will to see if we can figure out a practical way to do it. We hope to be release a large number of these therefore it would be impractical to sell them for permanent gain because if you've bought one permanent, what happens if you like a different one that has come out.

We are also going to look at users designing their own and only for their own personal use. This option will of course cost more as you will be the only person to have it, you're designing your own and this option will be permanent. One step at a time though :)

Permanent only works if users can interchange them.

If not, just make them one month long :)

[-:Undertaker:-]

It's good that we have to pay for them as it'll get credits being spent where as I never used to have anything to spend mine on, maybe just lower the price a tad and make more limited edition flags (if we were to get) along with special temporary icons/images more expensive depending on how rare you want it to be/the celebration merits.

This is good idea. maybe a small token charge to ask graphics designers to make you one (if you're not good at it) as well as small charge to change it to something else if it's permanent and you fancy a change.

Like VIP+ you mean? I'm pretty sure that's not possible with the flair. Okay well it probably is but then the users will have all the cons available to them. I'm sure there's not a way like say I can only switch between a certain two and then yo can only switch between a certain four if you get me?
Chippiewill; will probably be able to answer this one a bit better.

Yeah as I said I hope to add more and more and there will be special occasion ones like Valentines, Paddy's Day etc. Don't worry I'll be keeping the Pixel Artists very busy ;)

200 (base level, increased by wordcount) posts in one month is a reasonable level for everyone to be able to achieve so make it 1k for a month and it'll be fine

You have almost 10k.

I suggested that following feedback from before and I didn't get much response, got the feeling that the person(s) felt it was too cheap

Damn I should never have bought gold bars I would be swimming in tokens

1k tokens for 1 month isn't too cheap if we consider that flags and icons aren't all that's (goin to be) available in the shop. 1.5k for a month or somethin maybe

Any options to have multiple icons showing at once?

You are devaluing the work that has already been put in since te implementation of tokens. People have posted, they've gathered their tokens already. If a new member joins and makes 200 posts in a month (ever seen it happen? Maybe with one of immensemans clones) then they sure deserve to have an icon for more than 2 weeks.

No, when you buy something isn't that marked down that x owns x x and x.

So for example in admin CP if you check my profile on the shop plugin, will it show if I ever bought credits, VIP, etc?

I would imagine it would otherwise it's pretty crap plugin.

surely there's an inventory type of thing in the plugin in which it'll show who has what and you can interchange between the ones you own (if not yourself, then matthew/you/nick can check who owns them and apply the other one if they own it)

idk I don't have a spare vb license so I don't have a test forum to look at plugins in more detail.

[Kyle]

It's k guys I'm used to my posts in feedback being ignored x

I'd like to have a limit of 2 icons so for example u could have a flag or an identifying icon of some other description as well as any seasonal icon you also choose to buy. Or win as the case may be. It means that icon purchases won't go down during holiday periods as is the case wit donator when Xmas VIP is released.

I don't see anything like that on the user profile. It shows the VIP subscriptions you have had but not what you have purchased from the shop. On the UserCP it does have the option of switching through the flairs but that's not how we are doing it. If there was a way to switch between the ones you own just like in VIP+ I'd be open to it

[Kyle]

Isn't there purchase history in the shop or every user anyway

But then instead of people spending 500 tokens every two weeks (which is what they should be sold for IMO), they'd only have to spend tokens once? I think it's better to keep people buying time after time; there are only so many things in the shop you can update every x weeks anyway.

The only way multiple icons will be shown is if there is a flair connected to a usergroup and that is attached to VIP or something (just like Hayden's). If there is an icon attached to one of the VIP's that is being sold as a part of something, that icon will not be available in the Token Shop

Phil; Nick;
can i have mine brought before my ugly bottle ta

[Reality]

I love the concept of the icons and I love the idea of the Iconic Design competitions which allows for limited edition icons.

The flags in my opinion were probably rushed into in terms of the type of payment and the length of time. However, you can never get it exact anyway until you release it to the public with their opinions and feedback.
I would like to see other flags too or maybe something a bit different to flags which can be used as icons, not sure what as of yet though!

[Nick]

Glad that there is positive feedback about these. Ill be adding everyones purchases who doesn't have them already now.

As for the purchase log, theres the shop plugin and the credits plugin. There is a log in the credit plug in but it only shows thread and posts but not who has spent what in the shop, only from what I've seen and looked at so far.

[The Don]

Haven't read the thread but the cost is far too high for 2 weeks. I would expect at least a month for the amount of tokens its currently costs. I do really like the idea though and they look good.

Guess I'm the only one who hates them, forum looks so tacky.

I can't see my flag on the classic skin either, I thought it just hadn't been added yet
