Supporter icons under nicknames on comments are getting too many.

www.pathofexile.com##.badges
The main issue is that this website is (outdatedly) constricted to 960px width which was normal 15 years ago - whereas the typical website width these days is probably 1440, maybe 1200, it would be fairly simple to make a browser extension to force a wider website if people are actually interested (?)
I think limiting the number of badges is cringe. At least making them a bit smaller would be a nice quality of life change for us, "too lazy to scroll" users.

The peeps with all the Supporter tags are the ones keeping the lights on. Just sayin.' ='[.]'=

Pretty much this. I honestly feel that OPs question is a tiny bit entitled. Like, "I am sorry that people who spent a year´s worth of salary into a basically free game to finance creation and improvement, that directly benefit you, are such a big inconvenience for you that u have to scroll down 20cm more".

Put a bit provocative like that, but that´s kind of what I feel about that topic^^


No matter how hard you tug on your supporter tags you'll always give off small pp energy.

people with that many icons are super rare though.,..so rare that i know exactly who the person in your post is, even though there is no name just the icons.



Yeah, I'm on here a good bit and like you said it's not too many people. I've always thought of people like Jerle as a five star general walking into a military party and his icons are all the awards on his overcoat. I think it's pretty cool to be able to show how much you've supported the game, and like leto2626 said you can always show just the ones you want, but there's no shame at all in showing them all, in fact I'm looking forward to completing my full five rows.

To get back to OP's point though, it is a hard one because, and this is unlikely, but maybe the only reason the person bought the pack was to display the icons in the forums, and then if they limit them, they may feel cheated since that was never stated for all the years they were supporting GGG.

I do think down the line it may get a little absurd when you add say 20 to 30 more packs, but the only two ways I can think off the top of my head they could do something about it without limiting supporters is to have them cycle through the supporter icons, like an animated Gif, or let people turn off the forum supporter icons as an option, but I really don't think they would do that.


OP invited me to comment here.

All I can say is I am very much looking forward to taking up a full page with my icons, so people don’t just need to scroll - they actually need to click into the next page :p

Sorry. Can’t help to troll a little there. But I appreciate that most in this thread view the badges positively. I am very proud of them and they are a reminder of the longevity of the game - both in terms of the continued development and success of POE; and my interest in it :)

PS: hope everyone is excited about POE 2 and the new league. It had been an awesome day 1 at exilecon :D
It will convert your forum titles into decorative square badges that use the space next to your forum posts more economically so that you can show off an unlimited number of them at any one time. - GGG, 2018 (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3573673)

Thank You for Your service!
If scrolling down just to pass all those icons is the only price I pay to play the game for free while they paid for its further development, I don't mind. :)

Assuming you have ublock-origin:

Right click
Select "Block Element"
Choose #clearfix.badges, or else move up and down tthe list until the red rectangle selects the badge area
Click create

Spoiler



If you don't have ublock-origin:
What the hell are you doing with your life? Why do you hate yourself?

I get being proud to show your badges, I have mine on too, but when they start drastically impacting function for form they are too far. The number of listed badges should inform the size of the badges, so that if you decide to show 60 badges, they shrink to fit 6 wide. This would reduce the stack height by more than half, while keeping the badges discernable.

I expected some kind of a response, but this is better than I thought it would be.
Thank you, Jerle, for sharing with us your absolute W opinion. I too want to see the game prosper, including the official forum and web-site, more in terms of functionality. And knowing GGG, I'd say that they will upgrade the platform one day and we will all be happy.
