Hump Day: in case you've been living under a very large rock

[Jordan Miller]

Ahh another addition of Hump Day! A lot has changed since last week's HD. 🤠

In case you've been living under a very large rock, Invision Community announced/launched our latest feature: Achievements! 

Read our Blog Post about it here.

This also means that this community is officially on our latest update: 4.6. 

This update will be available to you all in the coming weeks!

In the comments of the announcement blog post, @Matt posted some additional visuals for you to digest. I'm going to include them here as well!

Here's an example of me manually giving a badge and/or points.
 

 

Here's the dialog the moderators can use:

 

One other thing we haven't spoken about is that you can allow your moderators to deduct points from a user when they are warned.

 

I have a feeling you guys have lots of comments / questions / concerns (and props of course) to submit, so please feel free to sound off in the replies below.

Are all news announced already or is there any chance to find some secret unknown features?

Better if they keep things in one place only. There are now 2 topics and one entry about the same matter. We have to dig in 3 places.

Indeed, but this isn't related to my post I guess?

@Jordan Invision It could be useful to enable the bugtracker now we are on 4.6 here?

No. I meant we have to look in 3 different places for news or replies. 👍

Seems like a great idea! 😄 

I saw in another thread that the points system is already active on this site, and that the points have already been calculated...

So I am surprised to find I still have the lowest 'newbie' rank, given I have over 100 posts here.

Maybe I misunderstood and the points only start counting from the day the feature went live, but I'm sure I read otherwise?

 

This also raises another question... assuming we do have the option to recalculate points/achievements based on all-time member history, does that mean users with thousands of points and reactions will get inundated with badges all at once?

Multiple topics about about the same thing ends up merged in to one on my site. You posted a new topic about the only thing being discussed in this forum and then cross-linked it on the original topic...

I think I am almost done being involved in general discussion on here going forward...I am sticking to helping people out as and when I can.

There’s a bug with the rebuild. I’m working on it and then will rebuild here.
