acute Posted November 18, 2021 #32 Share Posted November 18, 2021 @Saru This is a trivial gripe. Feel free to ignore it. On replies to status updates, there used to be a gap (with a faint line) between the user content and the options & stuff below. It just looks a bit cluttered now.

Raptor Witness Posted November 19, 2021 #33 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) It looks like “quotes” often have to be manually expanded, which is annoying. I guess this saves space or bandwidth? Edited November 19, 2021 by Raptor Witness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be annoying to have to scroll through large, redundant quotes just to get to the reply underneath, so I can see why Invision has added this feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saru Posted November 19, 2021 Author #36 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Update: Ranks/achievements have now been activated - you can view your rank/badges in your profile. I'll be posting up a thread with a full explanation of how this system works, but in summary, there are 15 ranks with various 'point' thresholds. You earn 1 point for a post/comment and 5 points for posting a piece of content ( starting a new thread, posting a blog or posting a status update ). 'Badges' are essentially like achievements in video games - badges are automatically awarded for things like making 1,000 posts etc. More of these will be added over time. These two systems essentially replace the old 'Alien Embryo' etc. titles that were based purely on post count. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Liquid Gardens Posted November 19, 2021 #39 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Looks great! Absolutely tiny note, I always kinda like people's avatar pictures but the new rank emblem kinda obscures part of it. It's partially covering up your cute cat wizard pic, and noticed it with PA that 'we have cookies' in his avatar pic is now just 'ave cookies'. Again, utterly minor, and I do like those new emblems. (although I don't understand how you can only be a Celestial but ShaYap is Eternal). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's perhaps not ideal, but it's what Invision has gone with and I think everyone will get used to it after a while. 37 minutes ago, Liquid Gardens said: (although I don't understand how you can only be a Celestial but ShaYap is Eternal). He has a higher post count than me and likely a higher ratio of topics and/or status updates. I'm not far off the highest rank though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+joc Posted November 19, 2021 #43 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I really like all of the changes in the board. It just seems to flow better all the way around. It has a nice feel to it. Great job! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
