thanks

I wish we could trade badges, I have extras but once you buy them there is nothing to do with them. You can display a certain amount beside your name on the post but then there is nothing except delete, I do not want to delete them if I paid acorns for them. I would rather give them to someone or trade them. Just saying.

Good point!

You can rotate your display of them; you don't have to delete them. Sometimes I switch mine around & display different ones.

Also, people see your full set of badges when they click on your username and visit your profile.

Only the first twelve badges on your list show in threads when you post. When someone goes to your profile page, all your badges are shown. So, those icons still tell about your interests to anyone who looks at your profile page.

Like flaflwrgrl, I change the order of my icons now and then.

(edit.... Oops, cross posted with Trish..... )

I wonder would it be possible to display 18 badges instead of only 12 ?? or would that really mess things up ?? looks to my untrained eye that there "should" be room for one more row of 6

Thanks! I just wanted to give a couple to a new person. I thought it might be fun to trade or give as gifts. But the acorns are ok, I just have to explain about how to go and buy a badge. I will rotate mine just to make sure they all get displayed. When I was new I bought a few just because they were cute, so I do not want to confuse anyone. LOL.

DUH...ignore my question. I was looking at my post where there would be room, but looking at Susan's post there would not be room. Note to self....pay attention

thing is... you might be right. It all depends on how @Dave has it set up. Since I'm NOT a programmer, I of course think it would be very easy to change that setup to just say we have 5 lines of data that can be shared there, and then give suggestions such as real name, zone, pithy quote, or badges. Right now, I believe that it's set up as 4 different database fields: real name, location/zone, pithy quote, badges. But if someone chooses to not share some of that info, then why couldn't we use that line for badges? (other than the nightmare it would be to program it)

I don't use that third would be line for much.

You've used all five lines, Rita... I'm talking about for folks who haven't, like Gin. It's just another option for customizing our profiles, is all I'm saying.

I know Dave has enough on his mind right now. But maybe up the road he might decide to play around with it. I just think it would be cool to give them as gifts or trade them. I really do not care about the display, I like that the way it is.

---- Some badges are earned, and it would be disrespectful to trade those.

Good point Rick, but i"m pretty certain no one was talking about those.

Not those, I would never trade the earned ones. They mean so much to me, No way!

The only way to get an earned badge is to earn it. It'll always be thus.

@Horntoad created a Hibiscus microbadge and I've added it to the lineup!
