matrivgraphics Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hello, I was surprised to see the change and clicked the "Become a Seller" button when I entered the new forum site. I am now being treated as a newbie, is that happening only to me or to everyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_d Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Hi there. Changing the platform that powers the forum meant that we also needed to change the ranking system, so essentially everyone started over in terms of forum titles/ranking. That being said, the actual forum levels (0-1-2-3-4) are unaffected, and Matt mentioned we’ll see an update in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen comments on post that just say "this is a good post" This is something that truly took off with the new forum and how gamified everything is. I saw users outranking me within hours of launch and their post history were ranging from "thank you" to "congratulations" and at a later stage -I kid you not- just ".". We are gathering feedback for Matt and the forum team and hopefully things will be tweaked moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a way to keep members engaged on the forum. That's the very definition of the "gamification" trend. However, I did some research on the invision community platform and it turns out user levels can be tied with functionality and priviledges. Edit: Just to clarify my remark was not because I was pissed someone outranked me, it was just me stating how ridiculous it was that I was active on the forum creating content and starting conversations, and someone else got the same amount of points it with "." replies. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visualstudios Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 The forum just got started, I posted a couple of times and I'm level 2, apparently. And then I see people at level 8, 9... In a couple of days. That's just having no life lmao, what is there to post so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visualstudios Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Ahahah, your case is different - you are a mod and were involved with the new forum before it even launched (I assume). You are actively working on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadiya646 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 New look of this forum is awesome no doubt about it. It contains also many new features. Badges are also included in the new feature. But for this everyone try to gain those badges. To gain this they post same thing several times, comment in others post like 'thanks' 'very helpful' etc. There is a 'thanks' emoji added on new feature also, so try to use this emoji. And those badges won't help you to get orders or extra benefits. There is many senior seller who lost their badges and now they are trying to gain those. It's fair for them but new seller like me it's totally inappropriate to try gain more badges then the senior and experienced sellers. The senior and experienced sellers help us in many ways. Try to understand their is some chain of command. If everyone has the same higher badges but they don't have enough knowledge in anything then what do you do? Don't try to gain the badges try to gain knowledge and don't ruin others post by commenting or post same thing several times. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiespencer Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 On the old Fiverr Forum we could see the badges 📛 we received for making our 500th post, getting 500 likes, or having been active daily for a year. Now we can only see which ones we have, but we cannot see the ones we don't have as was the case on the old Forum. 🤔 Has anyone found where those badges are? I did find this under our reputation icon, which is kind of cool. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miiila Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I couldn't find a list of what you need to achieve for what rank and badge (which is custom settings and maybe Fiverr forum doesn't tell us, so we can't game the gamification system, little bro of Algo 😉, or maybe they just didn't get around to it yet), but I could find an image, so you can make a game out of guessing it from the icons, if you want: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiespencer Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I was looking to see all liked my post above and accidentally clicked on @coerdelion, which took me to her profile. I did not know we could look at each others' badges? @miiila where did you find the images from above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miiila Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 If you scroll right down, you can see "Powered by Invision Community". I googled a bit to find the image then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a way to make your profile anonymous, but I'm not sure how. Like on @mariashtelle1 and @miiila's profiles, it says anonymous next to their name.

catwriter Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 @krheate, that anonymous thingy is for following others (when you follow a forum member, you can choose whether to follow them publicly or anonymously; when others look at your profile, they will only see the members who follow you publicly, while you can see both those who follow you publicly and those who follow you anonymously). As far as I can tell, you can't make your profile anonymous, but you can remove your Fiverr link from it, and you can disable messaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
