Reward Badges

[Giulia]

Looks like Jive has changed some things on the platform  for the better!  Just noticed that if you go to your home page and look at your Recent Badges - if you hover over a reward you will see the person who gave it to you.  Which is really kind of nice.  It takes it from the anonymous smilie face or star to a more personal level.  And that makes the badge experience (if you're into badges and the like) much more meaningful.  

Maybe this has been happening for a while and I just never noticed it.  Because I don't tend to hover over my badges, but I just wanted point it out.  

Mark  Am I incorrect in thinking this is new?  And PS, when doing an @ Mark, you didn't pop up as first on the list as usual.  Do we now have to search to find you?  I can understand if you want to hide.  Just an FYI in case you didn't know that.

GROSS!  I was supposed to eat liver three times a day after my first child was born because I hemorrhaged so severely and they gave me eight units of blood before I was discharged.  I think I gagged down ONE serving and that was it...I said I didn't CARE what happened, there was NO WAY I was eating that. YUCK...oh, I also hate onions, LOL.

Oh you hate onions, oh how sad!   Have you tried  Vidalia onions?  They are nothing like normal onions. They're not harsh tasting, they're rather sweet and innocuous.  If you've never tried one, I encourage you to do so.  I think a lot of the reasons we hate certain foods is that we've just never had them prepared correctly.  To my mind any vegetable overcooked is mushy and  hideous.  Although I still haven't found an okra (breaded or boiled),  or a beet that is pleasing to my palate.  BUT we can change.  I used to hate brussel sprouts and now love them.  It's all in how they're prepared.  Never say never!

Giulia‌ I have tried Vidalia onions...I RESPECT onions for what they can add to a soup or a sauce...I saute them and then puree them with a food foley when I make tomato sauce or chili...maybe it's more a texture thing.  I do the same thing when I make stuffing at Thanksgiving.  My kids LOVE onions and they say I deprived them while they were growing up...BUT they love my tomato sauce and my chili and they ask me to make stuffing and they eat enormous servings.  What can I say?  

[Giulia]

Well at least you eat them in some form.  They're good for you!

Mark‌  Yup, with the quotation marks it works.  Yippeee!  How'd you make that gif, c'mon give!  lol  

Why not just make your name MarkEX or MarkEx or MarkMGR.  You'd be the only one with that name, right?

Great! Glad it is working.

I didn't capture that gif. It was captured by a colleague using LiceCap.  

If I made myself one of those then it could break a lot of links around the site to things I've cross-linked. I've also mentioned extensively around the site that you find me as "Mark" and there is no way to easily update all those references. Furthermore I'd still have an account using that username or someone else could take the account and that'd be confusing. It doesn't seem to be problem with newer accounts so hopefully they can get the logic working back to how it is supposed to so that the more that I'm mentioned by an individual the higher up I appear in their results. Glad that the quotes work.

Ah yes, didn't think of that, but figured there was good reason for keeping the Mark by itself.  

LICE cap?  What a name!
