- Thanks / Post ratio is easy, obviously since we have that data already in the grid. But this badge may not be a good idea because it could discourage people to post if they are not posting in main forums. Plus, the number of posts and thanks is already in other badges, so I'm not really keen on just badging a ratio between the two.
- Tracking consecutive days with forum activity may require a new DB field or a localStorage JS var in the users browser. I am guessing it is best to to this in PHP and create some new PHP logic on the DB side.
- Tracking monthly thanks may is easy... see next post for example query:

"Good" means screenshots, links, and even details from web dev tools our the HTML source code. So far,... (0 Replies)

MAIN(3) 1 MAIN(3)
main - Dummy formain(3)
There is no function named main(3) except in the PHP source. In PHP 4.3.0, a new type of error handling in the PHP source
(php_error_docref) was introduced. One feature is to provide links to a manual page in PHP error messages when the PHP directives
html_errors (on by default) and docref_root (on by default until PHP 4.3.2) are set.
Sometimes error messages refer to a manual page for the function main(3) which is why this page exists. If you discover such a reference,
please file a bug report, indicating the PHP function caused the error that linked to main(3) and it will be fixed and properly documented.
