New Feature Medals become badges 👽

As you know, last year I setup a medals system which gave out gold, silver and bronze medals for completing certain tasks on the forum.

In my endless quest to find things to update on the site though, I've decided for 2024 we will change them to icons instead that properly represent the award they were given out for

They still have bronze, silver or gold colouring, but it's now more obvious what they are for - and also - you can now click them to be taken to the user's relevant page (so clicking the car will take you to their garage, spanner to their guides etc etc)

As before, you can see the full listing here - but for a quick rundown, this is what they now all mean:

	Added a vehicle to the garage
	Uploaded a resource to the downloads section
	Written a guide
	Reviewed a business

I liked the medals.... I was aiming for a VC!

Lol, maybe if I can find a nice artist to draw some unique ones for each category I can put them back in the future.

As it was previously, you had to move the mouse over them to find out what they actually meant.

This new way you can instantly see what they mean and jump there directly.

I think you'll find people, will still have to/want to hover over them to see what they are.

I've just been awarded a medal, or is it a badge? In my alerts under Badges, it says I've been awarded a 'Medal' !!

You might want to do an server search to see how many places it still appears as a medal.... just saying

Are you sure it wasn't a trophy?

They are separate things and based on various forum actions
