Two ideas:
- A SINGLE view of every new / updated post since last visit
- A mark all read button that works on EVERY thread everywhere.
No need to spam the request in every thread. I think most people are aware that some posters really want this by now.
I wouldn’t mind a badge, because it’s innocuous, or being able to set my own title, personally. But I really have no expectation of any kind of reward because I had an avatar on the old forum.
So whatever happens, or if nothing happens, it’s all good.

Everybody who Patreons will get a free Tom Chick of Finland [tm] pic

Speaking of avatars and replacements, I’m getting sorely confused by people who changed theirs post move. Looking at the thread I wondered who this was, farewell skeleton cat!
I second these suggestions.
Yuck, the quote feature is screwing up formatting.
Beer, preferably free.
As a Belgian, I wish there was a " I really like this" button. :)
How about a beret on our avatar? Or a plush tapir?
But seriously… I don’t think folks are owed anything. I was happy to throw a few bucks at a board that’s provided me so much entertainment for about 15 years now.
This is now possible – the Patreon plugin is installed, so forum.qt3 can offer a Patreon avatar flair, or a custom title.
Of course, it’s up to @tomchick to configure it and get the Patreon auth set up, and then decide what the Patreon perks look like overall.
Aw sweet:
Also @tomchick how can you hate avatars, look at how amazing Scotten’s avatar is. It’s fucking GREAT. As are everyone else’s avatars, except @stusser’s avatar. Which sucks.
Some do line up better than others, but Scotten’s is in a class by itself. It’s the Doom marine fellating a Patreon logo!

This can only result in a civil war between patrons and non-patrons. By the looks of it, @tomchick will be on the opposing side.
huh? How does this work? Do I have to automate something to get the patreon avatar thingie attached?
edit: Eh - nevermind!
You dare use the old Patreon logo?! The powers-that-be of Patreon shall surely be wrathful.
I like the logo flair thing.
The flair is a nice solution for the patrons.
Actually the Patreon logo is fellating the Marine, just to be precise.
You are properly mortified by that, I see.
