    I dont mind reading what ideas you may come up with CaptTrim. Its easy to get set in your ways so its better to write them down. And we will see what we may implement.

    XenForo provides for User distinguishing marks in different categories :-

    A) Avatars that are chosen by members themselves.
    B) Username colours are 'built-in and automated', governed by members' accumulations of postcounts.
    C) The Stars Banners are 'home-grown' but were possible to automate, and portray gratitude to members, as reflected by their 'Thanks' counts.
    D) Staff Member and Moderator banners are automatically produced when appointed.

    The rest of the User banners that festoon phun.org, whether uniquely individual or collective, were conceived, refined by a few, and then created and installed by us Admins.
    Many are static, thankfully, but some are competitively acquired and require removal from the previous holder to the next at intervals.

    I welcome ideas on new phun 'fun and/or games' that might require recognition banners.
    But please remember that any new banners have to be imagined text-wise and colour-wise, created in the XenForo framework, with movements subsequently managed - by Admins.
    We Admins don't wish to be the constant stumbling block in the process, so please 'Keep it simple'! :)

    @TaiPan Holy Sh!t, I thought I was pretty good at figuring them out. Wow!

    @S-type I was hoping it was like an emoji. That is waaaaaaay more technical than this old man can do, but very much thanks for the info...

    @Flippy Honestly, I was thinking of phuners like @Xray and @S-type that probably deserve awards. Probably "Power Posters" if I understand the award correctly.

    A new award might be for @Flippy and @joneblaze for "film critics" as they often give great reviews.

    But it sounds like it might be more work for the mods and you guys do so much already, so we can probably just ignore me and go back to the PHUN...

    Its not difficult if you know basic design, alot of it is buttons and there are a few presets. But obviously it will be done by a admin. For security reasons. We cant have anyone running around in the control panel. Dont write yourself of theyjust have to set it up.:)

    @RDS All good questions...

    I don't want to give @S-type more work than they need.
    So my first suggestion will be for me to see if all the "power posters" are still representing PHUN.
    Very much suggest that @RaiderCane respectfully be the new "resident lunatic" b/c he's the most die hard lunatic fan of all time for multiple teams. Maybe "resident fun lunatic or fanatic" instead?
    I would still suggest @Flippy and @joneblaze get some kind of "film buff" award.
    I had considered new member banners, but that seems like more work than necessary now that I know how things work.

    IF andWhen banners change, I can definitely post updates. I know that's not a lot, but I'm willing to help w/0 being a moderator even though I know one or two will need to be involved as well...

    I stand by Flippy having "Film Buff" (and Joneblaze), but it occurred to me last night that he could probably get in on the "Poll Wizard" one also.

    ..Not only does he create the majority of our lounge type polls, but he's been in charge of our 'Phun Hot 100' polls for a number of years now too.

    ..In fairness, the work Yucon does with our hot 100 polls deserves some recognition.

    The "Poll Wizard" banner for @Flippy is more then deserved, added it.

    Congrats and Thank You!

    That's something you can do easylie yourself mate ;)

    I've actually given Flippy a 'Cinema Buff' banner in white lettering on black - the old symbolic 'black & white' early cinema?- very distinctive, I hoped.
    But it comes out black lettering on pale blue, and the banner scrolling isn't working - i.e it's NOT yet a banner?
    It doesn't respond to my tinkering, so I'll leave it for the time being, hoping that the cron routines might resolve it!

    PS I'll remove it and try again if it doesn't resolve itself?

    It does look at bit off. If you figure it out would you extend the courtesy to @joneblaze as well?

    I've fiddled around, discovered the tiny syntax issue that prevented the banner shape production, but the system rejects any colour combination I give it!
    It doesn't even fill the banner with it's own choice of background colour - there's a little gap at each end.
    Anyway, I've added the banner, as it is, to @joneblaze.
    I'll keep trying!

    Since I'm not clear what the issue is, I've abandoned trying to give the 'Film Buff' a unique colour like some of the others,
    but it doesn't look too bad does it? And the banner is fully formed too.
    Any other of the 'standard' colours could be used instead, if felt more appropriate?

    PS I've increased the banner's positioning priority.
