Hi,
I have seen a nice feature on some forums that i would really like to utilise, although i realise its not the easiest mod to make.
Take this link for example, to a board I regularly frequent (this is straight into a thread)
http://board.dogbomb.co.uk/showthread.php?t=32772 - http://board.dogbomb.co.uk/showthread.php?t=32772
Under the Avatars you can see little icons (mouseover for the alt text of what they mean.)
These are little awards given to members by the admins \ moderators.
Off the top of my head, the mod would include an extra area in admin (and database table), where you can "make up" awards, then an extra bit in the membership admin where you can apply those awards to the members, which would be shown to the users underneath the avatars in posts.
I hope that was clear.
Do you get what I mean?

Appears to be failry simple to mod, from what I can see it just uses icons instead of names, and icons instead of postcounts. Just replace the Moderator string with an image tag and do a select case on the post count i.e.
Select Case intPostCount
Case < 100 image1 Case >100 AND <1000 image2 Case >1000 image3 End Select ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Unfortunately not, these icons are actually completely different (in concept) whilst they do happen to use one of them for moderator status, the awards in this context are actually completely seperate from the rest of the forum. In the case of DogBomb they have "awards" in the form of icons for things like the following.
People who have donated.
People who have contributed People that have had articles featured on the front page
And more (but these are few and far between) however, I want to expand this a little on my board and have a multitude of awards I can hand out.

Well, it can be done adding 2 new tables in the db.
One containing award info and one containing relationship between awards and authors. In this way each author will be able to be related from 0 to N awards. Than, just add some queries in the forum and a new admin section to assign the awards.
