I don't believe any gaming communities outside of developer/publisher/merchandiser forums would actually be able to afford to use given the restriction to business & enterprise cloud plans

Appreciate the intro, Matt! Really grateful to have joined the Invision team and am looking forward to working with the Invision Community. I know that sounds like a blanket statement, but I really do feel genuinely excited and fired up about it. This is my first week, but we've already had such great brainstorming sessions, ideas, things we want to implement and more. 
If anyone needs anything, please feel free to reach out to me! And don't be shy to say hi in the forums. 🙋‍♂️

This is my favorite default design since the IPS4 beta days. This might be my favorite forums design of all time. Extremely modern and aesthetically pleasing. You've just kept me as an IPS customer with this update. While we haven't seen the new default forums view yet, are you able to add a blue color back for the forums headers, replacing the grey?
I recently upgraded from IPS4.1 to 4.4 and the 4.4 design is horrendous and on vBulletin 5 levels of awful. The 4.4 update pushed me toward XenForo. This new update seems to correct everything and surpasses any previous IPS4 design. Really impressive work on this

It's not really duplication - it's an indicator of why the post has been highlighted. Simply showing a lot of reactions doesn't provide any indication why the post is green; simply showing the user's group under their photo doesn't indicate why the post is yellow. The status badges are a much clearer indication of why a particular post has lit up.
We've always had an indicator for popular posts, but the group name one is new (previously the post was just highlighted with no explanation). You could, I suppose, argue that that is duplication. Initially, we had toyed with making that badge say "Staff" or similar, but there's no guarantee a community uses the highlighted group feature for staff only. Even though language can be edited, it wasn't an assumption we decided to make.
