As many members will soon be noticing, if you haven't already, there are many new Achievements now available. The display of Achievements in member profiles has also been upgraded. We also have a new Leaderboard displaying our top Achievement earning members.
The new Achievements are all based on different kinds of interaction around the boards. I won't say what interactions exactly, because I want it to be something of a surprise. Suffice to say, you'll be seeing them appear as you are active in the community.
Some of the new Achievements will be applied retroactively on some conditions, while others may not. For instance, if there is a series of Achievements for creating a topic or post in a certain section, those might be awarded retroactively on the creation of a new topic in the section. This depends on the individual Achievement and how the calculations for awarding it works.
The display of Achievements in the member profiles has been upgraded. Here's Atlinsmere's profile as an example. There's a neat little hover effect displaying the details of each Achievement.
More Achievements will be added in the future, including more advanced versions of the Achievements added in this update. Most of the hard work for adding future Achievements is done now. I just have to whip up lots of icons.
EDIT: Added Leaderboard link at first paragraph.
