Here's to 19 more!

Talk about being an overachiever! Blown past Rising Star... sailed through Proficient... and decimated Experienced to become a Mentor.

The rebuild has completed and the new achievements and ranks are showing. On any post you view, you'll notice the a person's rank next to their avatar. In addition, if you click your own name on the upper-right side of the screen, it will show your own rank info. If you hover over anyone's name such as on a mention (@RadioRob) or the online list, you'll see their profile card with details. Finally if you view a profile page itself (such as https://www.companyofmen.org/profile/3085-radiorob/) you will see details there as well. There is no special benefits that come from achievements. @WilliamM put it best... "We aren't in a competition." This is not meant to encourage people to spam the forums or do anything other than what you would do as part of your normal visit. This is simply a fun way to recognize some of you who spend way too much time here with us. Thank you all for your contributions and participation!

I can't believe I'm able to post this before someone had commented on it. I guess I'll have to work to add new features later at night as people are sleeping! Following our move from Xenforo to IPB, one of the most common requests I've seen from folks was around notifications. When someone reacted to a topic, they did not know what the reaction was. It simply said there was a reaction. I've been able to add the reaction to the notifications. You can now see the specific reaction you received. BEFORE: AFTER:

The horror... we are not straight people!

Just imagine if I would not have gotten the settings off before it spammed you with every single possible rank or badge possible... It would be like having your life flash before your eyes.

I just thought about it as being new all over again... for a short period of time, I had my V-card back.

I'm not sure I understand your question... why achievements? The simple answer is that it is a base part of the IPB software. It was applied this morning while upgrading to the latest version of the software which updates a few security bugs that were discovered and fixed. It does not hurt anything having it enabled, so I did not spend time to specifically disable it.

If that is the case, I'm manually adding a million points to my own score!! We've got some hot guys here I would not kick out of my bed for eating crackers.

I miss a lot of things... that's not unusual. 😳
