When I open my avatar screen this is sometimes what I see Image. Show Shield? Cool!

Thank you for the report. I have triaged it in the tracking system.

This is leftover from the Underlight BETA days in 1997. Avatars would display white halos when a shield was activate. The halo dropped if the shield was destroyed or deactivated. Prior to joining MPlayer the decision was made to repurpose halos and give us the teacher focus halos we enjoy today.

I felt pretty special being (probably) the only person in the dream to know the original meaning / purpose of the halo.

I actually set up some tasks surrounding that mystery and was going to slowly disseminate the answer over time.

And now you guys stole that from me 8-)

Solid investigative work, Seeker!
