Hump Day: share one of your community building goals

[Jordan Miller]

 

Happy Hump Day, team! 

In case you missed it, we have a bumpin' topic asking for feedback/ideas regarding Achievements - we'd like to implement a few "quick wins" based off of your suggestions, so if you haven't already please check out that topic and submit a reply. It'd be greatly appreciated!

We also have a topic on the way regarding Spam Improvements - ideas you think would benefit the platform. Hold off on sharing those in this topic please - for now just think about it - that topic will drop on Friday so get ready 

Because it's a new month, I wanted to focus this post on goal-setting. I know, I know, it's corny, but setting goals is imperative for community growth. It's hard to know what direction your community is headed in without them. You wouldn't hop in your car without a destination in mind first would you? (Unless you want to drive aimlessly, which is a goal anyway.)

What is one goal you'd like to have your community achieve by the end of the year? Drop it in the comments! It'll hold yourself accountable and will be fun to look back on in a few months. It doesn't need to be crazy - keep it simple! Looking forward to seeing them (don't be shy!). 

 As always, here are this week's roundup of changes/fixes/updates:

- Fixed an issue where anonymous users may be cached in Who's Online blocks.

- Fixed an issue where a reserved keyword is used (specific to MySQL 8.0.17/18)

- Fixed an issue where a large file description may not save if it is larger than 64kb.

- Made a minor change to ensure the registration page is not cached by a web browser.

I would imagine the silence is just a period of reflection and deep thought.

@Jordan Invision I think you should give more different names to topics. Or publish all weekly changelogs in one topic. It seems that many users, when they see the words "Hump Day" in the list of topics, think that this is one of the old topics and do not even open it.

He literally gives every single hump day topic a different title 🙂

Yes, but not everyone reads the full topic name or remembers the name of the previous topic. For example, I accidentally noticed that this is a new topic (by the number of replies), at first I thought it was one of the old topics.

PS I would like to create an activity stream with Jordan's new topics so that I can be notified of new "Hump Day" topics, but I am not sure how 😩

Ahh nice suggestion. This is a Hump Day series though! Consider it like Star Wars Episode I, II, III thing, but for community building 😆

Create a new Activity Stream and follow me! You'll see other content I post in addition to Hump Day, but why wouldn't you want to? 😛
