Hello friends! As we wrap up 2020, let's celebrate some Random Acts of Community. Here are all the previous posts in this series, where we celebrate just a handful of the amazing people who help make this community what it is, both online and in (virtual) person. Our first recipient is @John Tolle, who came back to this…

As a follow up to our recent groups upgrade, we have released a feature that allows you to search the content within a group. Just type your search in the search box, which is next to the sort button in every group. As an exciting bonus, we were also able to roll this out to collections! The search bar is in basically the…

Some items to be aware of: * We've uncovered the issue with all badges involving accepted answers. In order for an "accepted…

Community groups are getting a glow-up! Starting this week, we are rolling out some updates to the community group experience. Thank you to all our group members, community leaders, and focus group participants who offered feedback along the way! Below is an overview of groups, along with a rundown of some of the upcoming…

It's Wednesday, aka the day we welcome some of the thousands of folks who joined the community this week. I will tag a few of you in the comments, but I'm waving at all of you! 👋🏻 I'm from L.A. so this topic was inevitable: What celebrity close encounters have you had? I've had many celebrity encounters over the years but…

I love Random Acts of Community, don't you? Happy little moments of kindness, randomness, and community-building that are worth celebrating. For our first October award, I took a peek into the all-knowing dashboard to see if I could find someone to celebrate for how much they've been reading! And I found new user @Pinelopi…

It's Wednesday, which makes it the perfect day to welcome some new users to our community! This question goes out, as always, to everyone, but especially those if you who are new here. What is something you can do for an instant pick-me-up? Yesterday I was sitting on the back deck with a friend, and we watched a flock of…

An overview of the pilot is here. Update #1 is here. A reminder that we are in beta mode, trying a lot of things and stress-testing the program. In some cases, we're using out-of-the box components that have limited functionality just to see if you like them; in other cases, there was no way to test beforehand without live…

Some users have mentioned they are getting too many unwanted emails from this group. Firstly, I apologize that we could not make this opt-in. A very limited number of community members have been allowed in the pilot, so this group is closed and cannot be accessed unless you have been granted access to the pilot. But that…

Hi Trello experts! I had a Chrome extension for counting the number of cards on my lists and it has stopped working. (I've tried troubleshooting and have reached out to the developer for help.) In the meantime, does anyone know of any plugins that include a card counter? I just want that little number on the top to help me…

Welcome to another edition of Random Acts of Community, where we celebrate all the small and big random things that help make our community a fabulous place to be.

Hello, Welcome Center members! And a special welcome to our new users on this fine Wednesday. We’ve selected some extra-special users to tag in the comments, but we want to hear from everyone about this important question, which may or may not be an excuse for everyone to post cute pet pictures. How did you come up with…

Hi there! Nice to meet you all. My name is Monique and I am a member of Atlassian’s Community team. In a past life, I was an English instructor (and even though I now work in tech, I am still a voracious reader). I am constantly on the hunt for a good read, whether to learn or to relax. A resource that I reference often is…

Hi all! If you're a member of the Atlassian Answerers group, hopefully you have seen the announcement about The Cloudies! (Can't access that link? Just join this group and then read all about the contest here.) Artist's rendition of your new best stuffed friend, Cloudie. Amazingly, we already have 13 people who have…
