@oranges13 hello my friend! We made it! It is your week for Friday fun. Here is your link to start your topic and here are the latest topics for some inspo. 

@Alexander Pappert yes, we are still working on fixing the bug, but in the meantime you get a commemorative badge. :) 

You get this badge once you've broken through the highest level currently available, Level 11. :) 

@Brant Schroeder there is now 😉

I should have started it off with this

So modest about his LEVEL 10 BADGE. 

@Jimmy Seddon oh god I take it back, what if I sound awkward and everyone hears, I'm scared 😳 😆

@[deleted] we're happy to have you! As @Evan Rosal said, you're one of the chosen ones ;) 

@Linda Milne_Togetha Group_ and @Laura Holton _ACE Manchester_ I am so glad to hear this! This is actually one of the reasons we decided to move ahead with the beta. Some of our pilot users gave us similar feedback. For example, setting a search alert was new to one user even though he is already a Community Leader! It's…

@Evan Rosal yeah this is the right place! It's true that new users get notified about every thread, but now this thread exists, so you can keep posting here if you want to and people will no longer be notified. @Erika Nunotani is our designer so I am making sure she sees this. We will note the random scroll bar issue! Just…

Yes you can access the collection here. We tested changing "Ask the community" to "Start a new topic" and people stopped asking questions completely, lol. @Erika Nunotani we might want to consider a CTA to create discussions and articles on collection homepages similar to what we have in groups. 

@Thomas Deiler thank you so much for this list! I just sent you a kudos to say thanks. I get 5 Kudos regardless whom's question I answer. I this a hidden feature? There is a repeatable badge called "Answer Bonus" that gives you a 5-point bonus for answering questions once you have hit Level 3. We will try to make this more…

@Linda Milne_Togetha Group_ here is an article about tags that is still relevant! It's true that tags are used for the beta, for example answering cloud questions is determined by whether the question is tagged cloud. You can filter questions on the homepage feed by product and tag using these instructions. Let me know if…

@Jimmy Seddon actually people aren't auto-subscribed but maybe they should be! @Cheri Hansen you can set a search alert for "Friday Fun," just click "Create alert" in the right hand sidebar on this search page.

@Esther Strom ooh what product did you learn about?

Well one of the demos is my community demo, so everyone better watch that one. 😂

@Ben Thoma my best friend is a (fully vaccinated) travel agent and he just flew to a resort in Cabo to dial into a virtual conference! An extreme version of this advice. :) 

@Walter Buggenhout you posted that discussion in the Jira collection instead of the New to Jira collection. I will add a link as soon as the system will let me :) In the meantime here is the link to post!

@Linda Milne_Togetha Group_ to attain the badge you just need to post your Bingo card, you don't need to get a Bingo!

@Linda Milne_Togetha Group_ unfortunately no, you can't give kudos to anyone outside the beta, as the system doesn't recognize them. You can always nominate them for a Random Act of Community badge, though! That is in our global badge system that everyone has access to. communitymanagers@atlassian.com is the email address…

@Vero Rivas I think you earned so many points it broke the system. @Brant Schroeder is in the same boat. We're working on it. ;) 

@Laura Holton _ACE Manchester_ this is a great overview! I wanted to share one insight that might be of interest, which is that if you get an answer accepted or a piece of content liked or upvoted, it only triggers in the kudos program if the person who performed the action is also enrolled in the beta. Accepted answers…

Thank you @Linda Milne_Togetha Group_ for reporting and @G subramanyam for looping me in! The badge on the far left is Return Visitor, and it's intended to be a repeatable badge for every day you visit. It makes sense it would show up as your most recent badge, however in that case it should also show up in your…

@Roma Sia Here is your link.

@Consulente Atlassian we're working on it as we speak!

@Linda Milne_Togetha Group_ excited to have you here! 

It may not count questions asked in groups. Are others finding the same thing? Potentially ask a product question and see if that works?

@John Worrall and @lbonding "Automatically subscribe me to all group hubs that I join" is the setting that got you subscribed to all posts in this group. So make sure to turn that one off. "Automatically watch anything I participate in" will only give you follow ups on threads when you actually post something. So that's…

@Vicki Wilt the most important information I can give you is that this editor button will allow you to post a picture of your cat so we can all admire her or him. ;) 

I wrote up another answer here as to the purpose of the program. Sharing the link in case it's relevant to those who might be following this conversation.
