Thump Day: 4.6.8 is officially out! 🎉

[Jordan Miller]

 

Hey team, happy Thump Day! We moved this week's edition of Hump Day to Thursday to give you a moment to read our new blog post on the Achievements upgrade included in our new release 4.6.8 (out now!). 

There's also a great blog post (if I do say so myself 😏) about the new stats and reporting metrics in 4.6.8 (again, out now!). 

Have you updated your community to 4.6.8 yet? Notice any improvements? Dug into the moderator stats? 

Here's a screen shot from my own community. It shows the warnings issued by our moderation team in the last month. Pretty interesting, right? I love that I can see now what the recurring warnings are so that we can come up with better ways to help the community in the future (and hopefully see a decline in these stats).

 

I also think the Badges metrics are super interesting, too. Looks like there's been a lot of members hitting that one-week target and earning that badge. I love being able to dive into the stats like this! 

 

If you're down to share some of your own community's stats, that'd be awesome! We could give each other tips and tricks for bettering our community management skills. 

 

Here's a list of updates/changes/fixes our dev team have accomplished in the last 7 days.
