1. I enabled a new feature for TKPC members. It's a user "badge". Set in your user profile, and it will show up in threads next to your username. (I may adjust the color scheme down the road.) This was a small user-facing feature of decent amount of back-end work to enable other features down the road.
2. For the newest members, I packaged 19 keychain bottle openers this morning and they will ship tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Yay! My bottle opener is coming!
Thanks for all the work.
EDIT: Bottle opener arrived!
Nice, thanks! I saw those badges on one of fireman's posts yesterday and jumped onboard too.
Loving my flair.
And here I am still repping the no-skin look
Yea yea I'm a filthy casual
Yay new features!
Badges?
Awesome! Now I can make even more money on TKP!
Edit: I only posted this crap to see if a badge showed up. I went to profile and could only type something. How do you get an emoji in there?
Phone or tablet keyboard.
My tablet only does the alphanumeric thing.
🤦♂️ What kind of tablet or phone do you have?
Samsung
If your Samsung tablet has been updated to include Samsung Experience 9, then it will have emojis.

Nah, mine's an older model.
You can download an app that has an emoji keyboard

This is a test of the TKPC badge system
I would love to know (a) what the context is behind this gif, and (b) what you searched for to find it.
Enquiring minds want to know!
All the TKPC members gonna be showing off that flair like

Logging onto TKP and seeing some new TKP swag had me like...
Badge test...
I should have also mentioned, for those who view the /comments stream, new comments appear in yellow exactly as they would in a thread. That is because of some of the aforementioned back-end work I did. It's much easier to show leg totals there now (a long asked for request). I just need to find the time to hammer it out.
This is neat. Kudos for offseason success.
Joe,
Yodaman!
Er... Test?
Love this upgrade

DONE
deleted. my funny didn't work :(
Nice work Joe!
yours is my favorite so far
Does anyone else think the white text on grey tag is a little tough to read?
I do, at least in certain situations. I might tweak it based on the comment color background (e.g. default grey, new yellow, +10 green, etc...).
Default grey and plaid are pretty difficult. The others are decent.
If you're going to have the official stamps here be white text on maroon, then maybe maroon text on orange for the badges? Should work on all the backgrounds and should be simple enough
even just changing to black text on that grey stamp might work
or maroon if you want to keep with the VT theme.
I just thought the orange might stand out more. Subliminally, it might make those who aren't TKPC members feel like they're missing out a little more and subtly pressure more to join.
Thanks Joe 😉
As always, the work is appreciated - hope that you've been enjoying somewhat stepping away to focus on the rest of your life Joe!
fun tidbit. I set mine on my phone with emojis. Then I tried to edit it from my desktop, but I couldn't add any text, just delete it. Then I could add text, but not emojis.
Test
So, windows has a build in emoji keyboard with Windows 10. Simply press the Windows+Period to get it to pop up. actual windows instructions here.

I need to allow those quotes through with a different escape method. Will do that soon.

This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for me

Also fyi Joe, it doesn't like punctuation. I had it as

Paying for the playing...

I think I'm going to enjoy this
This seems dangerous, I like danger
Whooo, badge check-in!
Galaxy Quest always gets a leg, totally underrated movie
Very cool. Thank you, Joe.
This feature has turned out to be pretty fun.
I intend to continue to push the limits of what can be done with badges.
>checks to see if "moderator" and "publisher" badges are available...
Joe,
Based on some threads I'm starting to think you should charge people to be able to comment on some threads. Possibly put limits based on pay levels. Just a thought.
Today I decided to take the leap and become the 700th TKPC member. Go Hokies!
