Currently it looks bad if we want to award ranks for e.g. a round number of posts, likes or years since registrating on the forum. If a user gets a badge for getting 100 likes then there should be an option to automatically hide it when the user gets another badge of the same type, e.g. for 1000 likes. It makes no sense to display these "smaller" badges in the profile.

Exactly. Option to have custom emoji at the top would make so much more sense.
I also feel it would be good to be able to choose which emoji appear in the emoji box. Obviously all emojis could still be used on the site, as people could use the built-in emoji keyboard on their device. But in the emoji box in the editor, we don't really need 100s of flags and symbols to be loaded every time - would be nice if we could just select which emojis to show in the emoji box in the editor, since a tiny fraction of them get used. 

There is a good Idea I got from another post to improve achievements system : allow a milestoned rule to be repeatable. 
What does it mean ?
Let's do it through an example :
Consider you've a standard (current system) milestoned rule giving points and a badge to a user creating 20 topics. The user will get points and badge once the milestone is reached an it is over. 
It is a good behavior from my point of view. But if you want to award users every 20 created topics, you'll need to create a rule for the 40th topic, the 60th topic and so on...
Now let's consider a "repeatable" rule :
If you take the same rule and "check the repeatable checkbox in the rule" (don't be afraid  this does not exist - yet -), the rule will give a badge and the points each time the user reach 20 new topics. (and not each time the user creates a new topic from its 20th one because 21 > 20). In other words : once the 20 created topics reached, the user get awarded and an internal counter is reset to 0 until the user creates 20 new topics (so until the users creates 40 topics, and so on).
 
Of course the principle could be applied to any milestoned rule and it may even reduce the amount of rules we'll need to define.
One last thing : when a user gets twice the same - repeatable - badge, it should be displayed twice in his profile awarded badges list.

At the moment, it's configured to just 1 colour for all user groups that have their posts highlighted. This can get a little messy and hard to distinguish in communities where multiple different groups have this enabled.

Ooooh I like this. It would be interesting if, while having this badge, they're moved to a new group (say a group with additional privileges). If they don't meet the 30 posts that week they're downgraded back to their original group (and thus losing the perks). 

Another possibility regarding badges awarding are the badges the users can own while they keep on certain amount per time.
For example a user posts more than 30 posts / week : owns a "keep on" badge that could be named : "active contributor" (or something like that). So if the user goes under the 30 posts / week he looses the badge until he goes to that rate (or more)...
That could promote participation in a more permanent way.
Regarding milestones and points on that kind of rules I don't know if it can be useful. Milestones could be set on something like "owns that badge since 1 month" (so based on time) ; points make sense only if there are milestones (from my point of view)...

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 !

@Matt Is there a way to get the Member Title back under the user name but above the avatar? We use it for ID purposes on many accounts and need it there. Thanks.
Your guide above sets the title to show under location, and that is not working.

New ranks and achievements is good but the ability to edit Member title and have it below your username needs to stay.

@Dexter_X @Genestoy  Thanks for making this easy to get back up and running. Is there any way to get it back onto the mobile view? The code change worked perfect for desktop but I am not seeing it to the right of their name in mobile. I have gotten this far but do not know what code to add and where.

Hey guys – I think probably quite a lot of people would like to have the reputation points being displayed again. How about simply having a choice to switch them on or off in the same way that is now possible with the achievement system?
Consistency AND Choice. – What's not to like?

Thanks. Got it. Is there a way to remove it from recently joined members as well?
