IdeaStorm: The IdeaStorm Troopers should get an IdeaStorm tag like the Dell tag for Dell employee's.

120 points posted to IdeaStorm by jorge 11/13/07

I think the IdeaStorm troopers should get an IdeaStorm logo tag on their names like the Dell people have on theirs. Then add an RSS feed for any updates by the troopers so we know its a IST update. This way we can follow more closely the IST moves on this site.

11/13/07		 We could do that manually with a Greasemonkey script... mostly. Not the RSS update, but the other thing.
jorge
11/13/07		 Post the script!
cosh
11/13/07		 Have we got a list of the troopers somewhere?
jorge
11/13/07		 I will need to look at my backups of the Trooper ideas, gotta wait till later tonight for that.

who am I missing? Lots of people probably. Or who shouldn't be there?
jorge
11/13/07		 Good list so far, with jervis961 being the only one to decline his trooper membership, not sure if he's resubmitted his application again?
cosh
11/13/07		 You can try the Greasemonkey script out with the current list of names. I've been browsing with it for a while actually, and, to be honest, it gets a little annoying after a while, because the "TROOPER" graphic is large and makes everybody's name look the same. Room for improvement maybe:

11/14/07		 Yes I declined membership long ago and did not refile as jorge said. I consider myself a charter member or whatever you want to call it when you are here from the start. No offense to the troopers, I just avoid the group mentality. While I usually agree with everything the troopers put out, I like to have the ability to go against the group without feeling guilty about it.
premcv
11/14/07		 SB, I was able to view it fine, try to open it in FF. It listed out the code.

Also, cosh, you forgot your own name. LOL!
premcv
11/14/07		 Charter member, interesting thought, that!
badblood
11/14/07		 I thought we were all troopers by default. Well if it's voluntary I don't want to be one either.... I have a headache.
jervis961
11/14/07		 Need a bigger helmet?
badblood
11/14/07		 or one with a little air conditioner and beer can holder. Then I am in.
jervis961
11/14/07		 I just hate that the uniform is so hard to clean (white shows everything).
premcv
11/14/07		 Lol. Shows a lot than it can hide. ;)
cosh
11/14/07		 @badblood, thanks added all them to the list now. (Is winoffice really a trooper? I thought he joined after the trooper ideas had already gone)

@sugarbear, premcv - it's a Greasemonkey script for Firefox. If you want to see the trooper tag that it adds you would need to add the Greasemonkey addon from Mozilla's web site. Otherwise it won't do anything. It looks something like this, per jorge's idea:



However, as I said, I think it gets a bit annoying after a while, because it quickly becomes apparent that nearly every comment *is* from one of the "Troopers". Of course Greasemonkey lets you turn it on or off at any time by clicking the monkey icon on the status bar.
premcv
11/14/07		 Yes, cosh, I have the Greasemonkey. And yes, I agree, that most comments are from the troopers.
jervis961
11/14/07		 I could have told you that. :)
premcv
11/14/07		 I like the Trooper logo. Looks cool!
badblood
11/14/07		 hey that's great. Can you put it on my name?
badblood
11/14/07		 ok I added greasemonkey. Now what?
premcv
11/14/07		 Click on the js file that cosh posted earlier. Then it will ask you to install.Install the script, and see that the greasemonkey and the code is enabled. Then you will see the TROOPER logo. :)
badblood
11/14/07		 Got it! Thanks!
premcv
11/14/07		 Cool! :) Now you can see everyone (the troopers, that is) with the TROOPER tag.
jorge
11/14/07		 I added it and love it! Best add on to this site since... I'll get back to you on that!
cosh
11/14/07		 Lol. If it gets annoying just turn it off or remove it.
jorge
11/14/07		 I'm generating a different image, I bet you know which one too!
premcv
11/14/07		 Yes, I know. :) Gives you the kick doesn't it?
dwood
11/15/07		 O want to be a trooper!!!!
