Badges already support this - when you create the rule that awards the badge, you can enter a member-facing summary of the rule, e.g. "You posted 50 replies!".

This will be back in the next build 🙂

Just to note, we did list this change in the deprecation section for 4.5. We always recommend reviewing the release notes, especially for major releases.

Even Microsoft will not support IE11 (or legacy Edge) in any way from next year, including in its own products like Teams. Other major sites like Twitter are starting to drop any support too. It won't be long until you'll struggle to use the web on IE11. Technically we have not supported it for a long time, but because we held back on modern CSS features, it still mostly worked. For 4.5, we decided now was the time to press ahead with improvements and drop support ourselves.
By dropping support, we've been able to use newer CSS features that benefit designers (and therefore site owners), simplify our theme (with more improvements to come), and we'll also be able to begin the process of modernizing our javascript.
If your community has a significant percentage of IE11 users due to your audience, you may prefer to stay on 4.4 (though that, understandably, has drawbacks too). If you're just an individual IE11 user, I would strongly suggest using a newer browser - literally any of them would be a better choice. 

I understand this is configurable, but it makes no sense that the default behaviour  of the software is to have a different page width for posts within topics based on whether it has less than or greater than 3 pages. Obviously, having a topic summary when there are just a few posts makes little sense, so I get the reasoning but it makes for a very inconsistent ui, which displays a lack of planning or consideration around what is actually best for the user, readability of topics and so on.
Has anyone looked into whether having the sidebar or not makes any difference in terms of the readability, the time spent within topics or anything along those lines?

@opentype Fixed the duplication when dragged (in 4.6, so won't show up here immediately)
@DawPi Fixed

Yes, this isn't a bug per se. Jqmigrate is a tool that allows us to polyfill some APIs that changed in the latest jQuery releases, without having to make large changes to our own code immediately. Think of it as a compatibility layer. The logging you see simply indicates when Jqmigrate has needed to polyfill some behavior.

There'll be more details soon, but it's very flexible. We have over 15 different rules built-in right now, for common actions across the community. Most can be limited by quantity and/or location.
Here's a look at configuring a "Award points when a user posts 1000 topics" rule:

 
Some rules can award different users too - for example, we have an action that fires when someone votes on a poll, but you can choose to award the voter and/or the poll author. I think this sort of flexibility will open up some really interesting engagement possibilities!

You just wouldn't set up rules/badges 🙂

We aren't sure if this will make it into 4.6 or be a later release, but it shouldn't be too long until it's available in any case 🙂 

This is HUGE. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!

That sounds perfect. If I could make a request, could you please ensure that rebuilds do not trigger notifications? I'd like to avoid swamping members with notifications when it goes live.
Great job IPS team. 😄

I currently use Members Shop to encourage activity. This has to be the best plugin available for the forum.

The main factor is allowing members to use their points to gain rewards. 

Whether it be the ability to pin a topic for a set number of days, or use it to download a file, it is very powerful.

Now that the developer of this plugin is no longer supporting it, this is a great opportunity to offer this type of gamification officially. 

I do hope as it develops, these types of features getting added overtime.
