    Morgin got a reaction from Cannabis Connect in Drum roll please… announcing Achievements!   
    My only comment is I would strongly urge someone to look at Discourse to see what a typical "basic" set of badges looks like and make it very easy for Invision users to implement such a "basic" set to very easily have a great user onboarding experience.
    This is the only area I think Discourse has been crushing us, and they really have pretty much nailed user onboarding through badges and gamification. I've joined two discourse communities recently related to some smart home stuff I'm doing (Hubitat being one of them) and the user onboarding with badges to reward participation and elevating to higher and higher trust levels the more things a person does to engage is just *chef's kiss*.
    Sort of like the below (although I dobn't think this is the default set):

    I agree with what many people here are asking for. I would really appreciate a way to surface what badges exist, how they are earned, and some explanation of the ranks and points system. I totally understand the sentiment of not wanting to surface this info but I think it needs to be an option.

    I love this feature. Agree with @Paul E. above that forcing OP to be anon would be helpful. An alternative would be to ensure that moderators can go the other direction as well, i.e. in addition to revealing who the OP was and de-anonymizing, it would be great if there was a setting for mods to edit a post and change to anonymous. We often have members who join to post a question that can sometimes reveal highly personal info and it’s fine when they think it’s a one off question, then they decide to stay (because our community is so great) and become a long time member. That usually prompts a PM asking if we can go back and remove some personal info they posted when they didn’t think through the implications. Would love to use this tool as an easy anonymizer for that type of content.

    This is a fantastic addition, and we were actually beginning development on this as an extension to the suite. Our use case is exactly the type of case as in the example included in the announcement.
    What would be a wonderful feature (if not already included) is the ability to set a particular forum in such a manner that the thread author is always anonymous (either by default, or by enforced policy), including any replies.

    Morgin got a reaction from Eric BXL in 4.5: Introducing our updated default theme   
    Another question as a non-designer: what’s the impact on users who want to brand their own site by keeping the default theme but just adjusting to their brand colors and logo?
    When the visual editor was new, I recall using that and got myself into a lot of trouble because the resultant theme never updated with the rest of the suite and I needed support to come in and clean a bunch of stuff up. 
    With these changes in 4.5, is there now a way that all colored aspects of the default theme can be adjusted without the suite thinking it’s no longer the default theme and not keeping it updated when new releases come out?

    Good to have preview by topic, but one thing I'd say I've wanted more has been to restrict/ban a member from a certain topic, it would work better than every post going on preview if its just a certain member causing the problem. Any chance?

    Time based would be the wrong approach. They will more than likely implement support for prefers-color-scheme (https://web.dev/prefers-color-scheme/), release an official dark version of the default skin and acp skin, allow admin to turn on “support native dark mode” and set the default skins for light and dark, maybe add an admin toggle profile setting to let users pick which themes to use for light and dark, and boom done. User has their device on dark mode, they get the dark skin. Can override to have always dark skin in profile or normal theme toggle. Simple, quick, painless.

    Ah okay.  Yeah the post was briefly published on Saturday for about a minute, which was long enough for @tonyv to get a sneak peek at it and an email notification to be sent.

    I got two emails about this topic being posted. One on Saturday, and one this morning. When I clicked “go to this entry” in the Saturday email on Saturday, it said page not found. When I clicked in today’s email, it was here ready to read. I assume the Saturday email may have gone out before this topic was made visible 😄
