I'm working through the new ranks and badge system.  The included rebuild process works well, but you'll have to run it initially to see how your members rank.  I had too many already up to the max level so I'm reweighting and rebuilding again. 

When downloading the "Language" file in the ACP a large pop-up appears with a rotating circle icon and never disappears but the file is actually downloaded. I think IPS got a little ahead of themselves releasing 4.6 a little too early 😒

Or you could run the provided rebuild tool, to retroactively apply the new rules, prior to reopening your site post-upgrade.
 

Hi, 
The reputation system is still "alive", it is just not displayed anymore in the author's pane (left side of a post). We've restored it back by modifying the template in the theme. It is a little "tricky" because there is three places where you need to do it in your theme forums/front/topics/postContainer template file : 
. to restore reputation badges/levels, around original line 110, add the following code after the </li> :
{{if $comment->author()->reputationImage()}} <li data-role='reputation-image' class='ipsPadding:half'> <img src='{file="$comment->author()->reputationImage()" extension="core_Theme"}' title='{{if $comment->author()->reputation()}}{$comment->author()->reputation()}{{endif}}' alt=''> </li> {{endif}} so you'll obtain something that looks like this, considering surrounding code :
</ul> </li> {{if $comment->author()->reputationImage()}} <li data-role='reputation-image' class='ipsPadding:half'> <img src='{file="$comment->author()->reputationImage()" extension="core_Theme"}' title='{{if $comment->author()->reputation()}}{$comment->author()->reputation()}{{endif}}' alt=''> </li> {{endif}} {{endif}} {{if $comment->author()->member_id}} so, it is important to place the new code after both </ul> and </li> ending the counters line.
 
. To restore the reputation counter, add the following code around original line 96, just after the <ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats"> :
<li data-role='reputation-badge'> {template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"} </li> so you'll obtain something that looks like (considering surrounding code) :
<ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats"> <li data-role='reputation-badge'> {template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"} </li> {{if isset( $comment->author_solved_count )}} <li>  
Edit for mobile display (add back reputation counter on mobile devices display) :
. To restore the reputation counter in mobiles display, add the following code around original line 57, inside the <h3> just after the {template="userLink" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author(), $comment->warningRef(), TRUE, $comment->isAnonymous()"} and before the </h3>
&nbsp; <span class="ipsType_medium">{template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}</span> so you'll obtain something that looks like (considering surrounding code) : 
<h3 class='ipsType_sectionHead cAuthorPane_author ipsType_break ipsType_blendLinks ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center'> {template="userLink" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author(), $comment->warningRef(), TRUE, $comment->isAnonymous()"} &nbsp; <span class="ipsType_medium">{template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"}</span> </h3>  
Save your template file, reload your topic : job done !

@Genestoy yes, you're right, i've put it in the same line as the other counters (posts & solved) to spare some vertical space, but yes, by changing the place where you put the code, you can display it into another line just like you've done !

Just tested and works fine in this location
{{if $comment->author()->member_id}} <li data-role='stats' class='ipsMargin_top'> <li data-role='reputation-badge'> {template="reputationBadge" group="global" app="core" params="$comment->author()"} </li> <ul class="ipsList_reset ipsType_light ipsFlex ipsFlex-ai:center ipsFlex-jc:center ipsGap_row:2 cAuthorPane_stats"> <li>

Thanks @aXenDev 👍, but @Dexter_X is correct. 
In this time of lockdown, many users who never use forum before, who came from fb, whatsapp, ig, telegram, etc..., is started to learn using a civilized communication platform, forum 😜.

I'm maybe wrong, but I think Umaar asks for a user guide on how to use the standard/default interface. Could be useful for users not knowing how to use a forum/community...

According to support, the milestone is always for the receiver : the 10th reaction is the 10th reaction received by a user in the whole community (except if you have filtered by forum or by reaction type).
You cannot define rules with milestones for the "giver".
 

We plan to add this feature but wanted to implement base Achievements first to see how people used them. But it will for sure be coming 🙂 

Exactly perfect! Thank you so much for the help.

in the theme editor edit your template forums/front/topics/postContainer
then look for the string {number="$comment->author()->member_posts"
once found, around line 98, replace the format="short" by format="long"
You'll obtain something like this :
<a href="{url="app=core&module=members&controller=profile&id={$comment->author()->member_id}&do=content" seoTemplate="profile_content" seoTitle="$comment->author()->members_seo_name"}" title="{lang="member_post_count" pluralize="$comment->author()->member_posts"}" data-ipsTooltip class="ipsType_blendLinks"> <i class="fa fa-comment"></i> {number="$comment->author()->member_posts" format="long"} </a> Save the file, reload your topic : job done !

What, really? Why else would you implement achievements, if you cannot use them in order to "award" users with something else than just an icon, e.g. by promoting them to a new user group?
Here is my feature suggestion: Please make ranks part of group promotions.

legend, thx!

ACP -> Customization -> Editor -> Settings -> General -> Return key behavior -> Go to next line

Better option:
 

Thank You! I can't test it yet as I am only working on my test forum and have no post numbers that high, but plenty on my live site!

there's also already a topic about it :

This is something we're aware of and looking in to.

Can't wait for 4.6.3 or so.  I'll def upgrade once the major bugs are caught during wider roll out.

Now with badges and rules being awesome in 4.6 I really hope devs expand on this. Some things that I am missing in the rules which I hope can be implemented are specific dates. For example valentines day or Christmas eve, well custom dates is what I'm looking for.  It would be nice if we could reward people with badges for login in on specific dates. So that would be expanding the "Member logs in for the first time that day" rule except we would be able to choose specific dates instead, and/or a span of dates (e.g. Login in between the 24th to 26th earns you the Christmas Eve badge), instead of as it is now. It's very limited with so much power, but it's also new so hoping for some expansion.

I can tell you right now the system is only counting specific things to get points.  I want to say the only things that are counting towards points are actions around Comments, Reviews and Topics.  Everything else is not working. So for us Reactions on Gallery, Files, Tutorials, Videos, etc....all are not working.  You could easily see this or test it by going into the ACP and looking at the Manage Points detail for any user, from there it will tell you what points that user is or is not receiving.
We have rebuilt points probably like 10 times testing it and nothing is working.
