:O ruh roh, now we know who's a good player and who's just blowing smoke. Nice, thanks for that, TL. First noticed it with Minigun. It might be better to have it slightly more obvious a color change, if possible.

This project was literally delayed over a month solely because of colour selection. I'm dead serious.

If random opinions matter: I think it's perfect, aligns with the rest of the color scheme of tl. I don't have any problems with color vision though.

Haha wow... and here I had assumed 3 months ago that that would be the color to win, simply because it shows up well even on dying monitors and is supercool in general.

You know what, I can believe that. Doesn't mean I can't complain about it though

Then again, not my house, so I'll just shut up and deal with it. Good work though, serves its intended purpose.

Great idea! Hopefully this will bring in more professional and high-level advice!

And for those saying this may lead to people ignoring/bm'ing non-highlighted users, that's obviously up to the individual poster, who can ignore people trying to help them at their own risk. For bm'ers that's what the mods are for

Keep up the good work!

This is a great idea. Glad to see that you guys came up with something I believe is a pretty damn good solution to the mess that was looking through the threads in the strat forum.

PS. I like the color choice. Easy to spot without being distracting at all. Really funny to hear that it took a month to decide hahah
Take anything I say with a grain of salt.....I suck at this game. Also, Go Blue!

My main problem with the strategy forum at the moment is scrolling through lots and lots of pages in search for a familiar post. Would it be possible to add a toggle-able feature that hides other posts apart from those by highlighted users? Or a "jump to next highlighted" button or something like that?

If we were to implement this at the moment, it wouldn't be useful in most threads due to the small number of users on the highlight list. This is something we will consider once the list has grown more.

You mean like the low number of Blizzard community managers and the low number of posts they put on the forums? With the "jump to blue post" button is one of the best features on there?

A low number arguably makes the feature even more important so that you can easily sift through all of the posts for it.

Edit: Also, overall, good first selection of players! I completely agree with your selection criteria including some activity on the forum in the first place since those people are likely the first ones who will go back to posting on there a lot. Good job, TL!

Edit 2: I should note that I'm fine without a jump button; it's just that the logic behind the decision seems flawed. I've been browsing the Strategy forum a bit and am actually quite happy with how the highlighting integrates in.

IdrA has a long history of positive contributions to TL strategy forums. It'd be impossible to leave him out.

The point is that these posters are not the only good advice in the strategy forum, but rather advice that can be trusted upon to be reliable. The vast majority of users have good things to say too.

I hope you at TL know how good this is. I've wanted something like this for ages.

People want their posts read, they just do. People who have little clue still post advice and being a newb it's pretty hard to discern what is correct advice and what isn't.

Thanks a lot TL.

I will also like to have some kind of poll system for every post. In this way , one member with a very very good post, can have his post highlighted because the others voted that as a good post. Post that were really bad can be collapsed or something.

This system is useful for me when I want to check out some games from sc2casts because every series can be voted by viewers.

LOL?

The color is really fine, now. It does highlight it, but does not blow it out of proportion.

Are you sure? I was kinda hoping for a color scheme based on My Little Pony. . . .

So what's the difference between quality posters and highlighted users?

To me they both acknowledge a certain recognition, just one is more apparent than the other (and one's strictly for the Strat forum).

Quality Posters have gone above and beyond in doing something that has helped TL. No one gotten to be a Quality Poster by just posting a lot - they have always gone beyond simply posting. They have stars everywhere in the forum.

Highlighted Users are good at the game and post accurate advice. They are only highlighted in the strategy forum.

Seems completely different, I'm not sure where the hangup is on the distinction.

I really like that, it can really help people to find the better answers quickly (although not all non-highlighted posts are bad advice) but I couldn't help but ask myself how exactly are new users (meaning future users) going to know what it means?Wouldn't an additional icon/something make it more obvious/recognizable?


P.S. I'm sorry if it has already been asked but I do not have time to review the whole thread right now.
