Oh that's the non members Linkify badge, the flip side just says Contributor Since + date
I have a question about those, too

Some of them that I've noticed (Joe's and Amaethwr's) don't show the contributor since side of the badge on a "standard thread", like this one..

But, if you view all the posts by a user on a thread, it does show...

Then, for other users (like Bodyy), the contributor since side does show on the "standard thread"

Not sure if you know about that, or if it's intended to work some specific way and is working as intended, but thought I'd ask and see what you thought

Edit: Just realized you said non-member, so it's probably the membership icon showing (as intended) on the main thread, but currently shows the Contributor side on the "Showuser=" page

Not sure which way you wanted it, or if it's just right

Yep I know about those inconsistencies

Here's how it works....

Without Linkify:
- Posts by users have no badges.
- Post preview have no badges.
- Thread preview, again no badges.

So that means if you have a linkify badge and the page doesn't have a badge, RS Linkify can't know if you are a member or not, thus defaults to the non member linkify badge for the flip side.

I don't wish to remove anyone's members badge, I don't think that's a cool thing to do. So I made it the flip side. But obviously that can't work for non members, thus a default flip side was made.

Basically if the page is void of badges, and you have a linkify badge the flip side has a default, as seen in the examples above.

I hope that explains what's going on

Yep, 14th of May 2013 RS Linkify became public. That same day I made a thread "My Fix for broken Forum Links"

All RS Linkify did was repair the damage the censor was doing to the links in our posts on HLF.

I thought the censor issue would be resolved quickly (I know better nowadays) and figured I'd remove RS Linkify from the chrome app store after a week or so. Before the end of the day I had over 100 users, with people giving feedback and posting new links for me to fix.

That thread maxed, then V2 was made. Literally 100's of requests made by players for the Linkify thread to be stickied. Then it was stickied in High Level General thanks to Mod Lee.

Moved to Off topic later, tbh I wasn't sure how to feel about that. But I'm very happy here in this section and if given the choice I'd rather my thread stay here in this section.

Funny when I think back, I really had no idea what I was in for. RFI was going strong as well as RFE. All I tried to do was make sure my extension played nicely with those, I was so careful not to step on anyone's toes.

But those guys had other priorities and their apps weren't kept up to date. Feature requests quickly ensued.

Once I was sure those other plugins weren't being supported I stopped holding back. I made sure my extension wasn't a clone of what came before. That wasn't hard since my coding style is different, and perhaps my objectives too. But the big focus for me has been building this extension with the forum community.

RS Linkify's life expectancy was 3 weeks, it's now almost 3 years later. The future is uncertain, a single forum update could eliminate the need for my extension. But it doesn't matter because the friendships I've made along the way will continue with or without linkify

Good morning

I have two topics of discussion:

1) At the bottom of a thread, clicking this arrow does not send you to the last page of said thread. Would making an arrow to do that be practical and difficult to implement?

2) Would it be reasonable to implement a text/word to image troll face. The reason being a troll face can express sarcasm that words on the internet cannot... I think this may help people better communicate. See an example of a troll face below

I hope your ironman is going well! I'm not very talkative in-game sorry about that, I really appreciated your congrats on my dye though ­<3 thank you

Edit: Ohhh I just noticed my Linkify badge, thank you!! I've been posting on my phone the past day or two because of work or I would have came straight here lol. That really is an honor to me and I never expected it, I really just love our Linkify family. It's sad to think of a time and place where Linkify didn't / doesn't exist.

"Why are you posting threads, asking questions and making discussion???"

Those arrows are meant to go to next or previous page. Considering there is the page number buttons that always have the option to go to first and last page, it would be just be doubling up on the same functions. If there wasn't a means to do that then I would do it, but putting it there twice isn't something I'm keen on doing.

Sure I can do that if you can provide me a nice image to use and also suggest what text it should apply to. If it's like a smiley I may be able to incorporate it into the existing smileys.

Actually the badge is my way of saying thank you, so...

Thank you

I think something about the size of the text to image heart like this "­<3" would be ideal. Something small and also a "funny-looking" troll face not something aggressive because the idea really is to express sarcasm; that you're not serious about a comment.

I personally like the one troll face in my rago example but I would like other input from Lust or others (Lust is good at posting odd images and resizing them ). I'd say let's wait for input maybe but if you'd like me to repost a better image of the small one in my example by itself I can do that (I'm terrible at resizing and making an image clearer but I may be able to figure it out).

Edit: I'm thinking *troll for the text. If we want to push the idea that it's meant to express sarcasm rather than aggressive trolling, then *sarcasm
