Some of you might've noticed a dollar sign ($) next to usernames in posts around the site in the past few months. That's actually a feature we've been sitting on called "kudos", and it's our handy new way for collaborators in our community to share in the gratitude received for their hard work! Where previous group effort would only see the person publishing that work getting forum rewards, tagging with kudos allows every person mentioned to receive the same amount of thanks and +rep as the poster themselves! No more unsung heroes here!
To use this new tagging method, simply add
$ before a person's username when mentioning them, or use the BB code
[kudos]USERNAME[/kudos] (substituting "USERNAME", of course)! For example, if I want to share my thanks and +rep with Joe, I'd add something like:
|
Special thanks to $j03 for making this rockin' forum possible!
|
It's as easy as that, and now Joe and I receive all the gratitude for that post! You can share +rep and thanks with every person tagged using kudos in your post, so this opens up the possibility for some major collective efforts!
So! What are you waiting for? Get out there and collaborate with someone, and reap the rewards together!
