You can also add a note for each user to let others know as to why you are featuring that user. This can come in handy if you want to show your appreciation for a certain user and/or users who have been contributing positively to your forum by placing them in the spotlight.

All featured users can also be displayed on their own page linked to the navigation bar as well. This option can be enabled/disabled fr om the settings.

You can also display the number of times that users have been featured in their visitor panel area, postbit, member card and at the member list. You can enable/disable this option.
