None

Follow

As now most actions and also pending statuses are hidden under Actions - I think that we will need some more status icons near name fields:
A) Family Group member (such icon is currently only used in news-feed and at wall/quest-book)
B) Collaboration request pending
C) Family Request Pending
D) Follower (Follows me)
E) Following (I Follow him/her)

And all these icons (like also Collaborator, PRO, Curator, MP, Popular <100>) shall be displayed all time and in all lists;
Discussions, Projects, Popular, Persons, Followers, Fellowing, Collaborators, Documents/Comments, Search results etc.

Possible icons (ideas):

A) as http://assets1.geni.com/images/icn_family_tree.gif

B) like this (Collaborator), but in red colour:  http://assets0.geni.com/images/icn_collaborator_both_14.gif

C) like this (Family Tree), but in red colour:  http://assets1.geni.com/images/icn_family_tree.gif

D) something like:  http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/images/icon_linein.png but in green (like in collaborator) colour

E) something like:  http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/images/icon_lineout.png but in green (like in collaborator) colour

  I'm especially keen on a Project icon: it signals that you have to be extra careful before you merge a profile. Plus, it encourages interest in the associated projects from people that might otherwise be totally unaware of a project.

  Gerge - how do you want to use project icon?

  NB! Profile can be added to project or it can be project follower and/or it can be project collaborator.

   

  P.S. This lists all current "icons" in Geni, but you need to zoom in:

  I wanted to bump this up to show support in particular for the "collaboration request pending" icon request.  When going through search results, the page shows you the green "collaborating" icon next to the names of profile managers.  I would really like to see a "collaboration request pending" icon there as well.
