Topic: Place a $ sign in front of the Steem rewards
One of the greatest appeals of forums Powered by TokenBB (in relation to standard forums) is the ability to earn by foruming. Because of it's attractive nature, I recommend that you place a $ sign in front of the Steem rewards for each topic, and each post. Otherwise, some people (new to Steem) may not even know it's points, rewards or anything like that. As it stands now, it just looks like random numbers in the corner of the posts (to non-Steemians). One of the beautiful things about TokenBB is that people can just forum, without having to sign-up for Steem or even wanting to earn. But for newcomers, it would still peak their interest if they saw $ signs on the side of each post, and it might keep an otherwise bounce on the Forum, long enough on the site to learn more more (ie they might eventually become an active user). That is why I think it's good to add $ signs in front of the Steem Rewards.

I think a dollar sign would be a good first stopgap, but we can see about having our own currency symbol later

I pushed a fix that will add the $ sign to upvotes :)

Technically it isn't a dollar value it is a Steem STU value, so maybe another currency symbol or perhaps $ to start

I definitely think the $ symbol is the absolute best symbol to use. Throughout the world, the $ symbol is the most universal symbol for money, so if you want people to know that it is a real currency being earned.. and not just "Points".. use a $ symbol. People will eventually discover that it isn't $USD for themselves later on anyways.. just like I did. If you use any other symbol, you risk people thinking it is just fake money, monopoly money so to speak, or just points like Waze or Shopee Rewards. Remember, first impressions last and it is important for people to see that real money can be earned in the first few seconds they open the site - otherwise.. they may leave the site after a few seconds and never return. Using a $ sign will probably increase the stickiness of first time visitors and it would help me market my TokenBB forum.
