Image denoting used/unused status of invite codes
Title:
Image denoting used/unused status of invite codes
Area:
Invite codes
Summary:
There should be an image which will take an invite code as an argument and then display whether the code has been used or not.
Description:
One of the problems with giving out a bunch of invite codes at once is that there's no easy way to track which ones have been used. The only way for someone trying to create an account to know if a code has been used yet or not is to try it.
There should be an image that will take an invite code as an argument and then show the used/unused status accordingly. That way, a list of codes could be kept up to date as to which have and haven't been used without the person who posted them having to do anything.
The way I'm imagining this, if I want to post a bunch of invite codes (in my journal, the codesharing community, on some other website, wherever) I'd be able to click something on the invite page, tell it how many codes I want to share, and it would spit out all the HTML for me so I could post the code, a link to the page to use the code, and the image saying whether it's been used or not. Providing a BBCode version of the same would be veering off into sparkly pony territory.
The biggest drawback to this is that images like this are completely useless to blind users, those using text only browsers, or anyone else who isn't able to see the image for whatever reason.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.

It may actually be better to have the image with empty alt text, if the information in the image can't be passed to someone surfing imageless.
