I have members that make small contributions to the running costs of the forum and I would like to give them some kind of recognition: i.e. A badge of some sort.
I appreciate I can set up a new group with a badge but I have contributors that are staff members, so their Moderator group icon overrides any other group they are in.

Any ideas most welcome?

 

Every time someone donates any amount, I post a thank you reply to a running thread with their name and their profile photo. Other members then jump in to thank their fellow member. It is a great way to recognize members who support the community. It also acts as an intensive for others to donate. I have several members now who have donating on autopilot - sending us a small amount every month.

That is something I'm looking into but I would really like some kind of banner displayed if at all possible. My final option would be to add the banner to a members signature.

I have a special group for any one who donates.

 

I also have a banner in the sidebar

 

There is also a plugin that will show banners of select secondary groups. So if a member is promoted to a secondary group due to their donation you can show a banner.

I have and it works very well.

Purchased. Thank you!
