Hi Mark,
Thank you for your reply.
What is it exactly what you mean by 'solved', in regard to the search? Is it not working for you yet? As far as I know, and feel free to correct me if I am wrong, the search works pretty good now.
About the badge system, regardless of how high I try to push the community, sometimes I have to admit it is also a part within Ultimaker, just as many others. We have only one team of developers and in this context, it means that sometimes the planning is being altered and some plans are given priority over other plans.
Currently, the team is doing some needed maintenance to the site (and have been for a little bit longer) and fixing large parts of the code (I am not a developer myself so I can't really go in depth here.)
This has a large priority over other things if we want to have a healthy website which is ready for the future.
Maybe you have experienced it, but in the beginning of the week we made some 'improvements' to the site, and this resulted in some unexpected bugs to the forums. There are some 500 errors, and I know some users have some difficulties posting replies or new topics. Which is pretty bad for a forum..
On top of the existing workload to do the maintenance, they are now also busy trying to reproduce these bugs and fix them. This all accumulates to, among other things, the badges which was once pretty high on the agenda, to be pushed back.
To get more in depth on the badge topic, there is a proposal with our designer in regard of the new badges, what they are suppose to look like. Maybe you don't really care about it, but I don't think they should take much longer.
Applying them will be mostly manual work for me. So until it is automated (that timeline is unclear for now), I will try to be as conclusive as possible and appoint badges and points to everyone who deserves them! If I miss something, by all means, send me a line or tag me, and I will come to the rescue!
Not ideal, but I am trying to row with the oars that are given to me..
- by the way, the points should now match the badges, don't they?
500 errors posting... please revert to before update
Also, I dislike the blue balloon with 0 notifications. A blue balloon = notifications for me. Now I find myself clicking it and being disappointed :(
