I just thought I'd resurrect a couple old requests I've had in the past for Pro Sites...
1) Add a settings option in Pro Sites where the Admin can specify an URL to include as a link for all images in the Pro Sites Badges Widget. One link for all levels would suffice, and a field to enter a title for the link would be just dandy.
Every time I update Pro Sites I find myself forgetting to hard code the link we add to all our badges that directs people to a comparison chart we have with all Pro Sites levels, features and upgrade message. I include a title in the link so when anyone hovers over a badge it says "See All Supporter Blog Account Features!"
2) Add a module for limiting the <u>daily</u> post quota of Pro Site levels. Currently you can only limit the total number of posts for a certain level.
We often get new bloggers publishing multiple posts in a row, dominating the Recent Posts widgets we have throughout our community. It would be just grand to allow one post per day for our free blog level, while offering unlimited posting to our premium Pro Site level, with daily limits for levels in between.
...both very good ideas and I'll add to the list. We actually use something like the 2nd on edublogs
It's been a while, so I thought I'd ask... any further thoughts about implementing a daily post quota module to limit the number of blog posts per day for certain Pro-site levels?
We often get new bloggers publishing multiple posts in a row, bumping others out of our Recent Posts widgets displayed throughout the community, and would like a way to limit posting to one per day for our free sites, while increasing that number incrementally for other paid levels.
Anyone else care to chime in on how they might use such a feature?
Thanks again for the consideration!
PS: Assigning a link to Pro-site widget badges via the admin would still be helpful too.

jcnjr,
Thanks for the requests!
Hopefully we can get some movement from the community behind these as I think they are both VERY good requests!
Best,

Well, I received rep points and a comment from one member saying for: "I think it is a good idea"
Anybody else care to give this a thumbs up?

They are both very good ideas and I'll add to the list. We actually use something like the 2nd on edublogs, but more for throttling spammers.

Throttling posting for new users, good idea. I back that request.
