Badge and navigation updates

Posted by Jim {Power Gamer} | 10-Feb-12 | 10 comments

More ways to customize and display your badges!

Now there are four more spots to display whichever badge you choose.

We shrunk the achievement badge area on your profile page to display the four most recent achievements. This makes room for four “profile badge slots” that you can customize to your heart’s desire!

Important: The brag slots are unlocked by leveling up as a Professor. The new profile badge slots on your profile page are all available no matter your level.

Might be some major thread necro, but I just stumbled across this news post today. Whatever happened to the Add New Info link in the Games menu? I know of some content that should be added to the site but am not sure where to submit it, or even if that is desirable by the siterunners anymore.

Having the extra badge slots adds a nice level of professionalization in my opinion. I like it. Great work.

A very nice update. 4 ‘recent’ badges and 4 ‘favorite’ ones are OK.

I was just playing a game tonight with a steam punk theme to it – Mission: Red Planet – which I’m told has similarities to El Grande. Not a bad game, but I finished terrible.

Great job, guys! I really appreciate all the effort you’re putting in to add features to this site.

I like being able to show more badges (I kept trying to figure out what I was supposed to do with the old ones :), and I really love the easier link to adding games. It was sometimes hard to go back and find the news articles containing the link for adding, so now it’s very easy to find.

Keep up the great work. You’re just making a great site even better.
