Community release notes for October 3, 2019

[#1]

Welcome back to another edition of community release notes! 

               

New: Since our last major update, three new badges have launched: Rising Star, Fri-yay! and Answerer. Go earn them if you haven't yet!

Updated: There has been a bug in the activity feed that meant the feed wasn't loading for everyone. A fix was rolled out but it still hasn't fixed the issue for everyone. Let us know in the comments below if this is still broken for you, so we can investigate further. 🕵🏻‍♀️

Updated: All our community guidelines are now tagged with community-guidelines so you can find them more easily. 

New: Speaking of which, we now have an etiquette guide for our in-person events. and some guidelines for partners around writing great articles and participating in events.

Fun: @Daniel Eads found a fun search hack that lets you restrict your search to a specific collection by addding "&location=category:NAME" to your search URL. This has been added to the FAQ.

New: Our @ mention functionality has been updated. You will now see the user role next to their name when you mention someone -- this will help you find users if they have multiple accounts or a common name. 

Note that the new feature will make their name look like this in the edit window:

But once your post is published, the role will be removed automatically:

Thanks as always to all the teams who worked on the above, including our dev team, support team, and community managers!

The @ mention improvement is fantastic!

This is great stuff!  Thanks @Monique vdB and the rest of the team!

Feature request. In the Daily email digest that gets sent out, can you include the tags/labels of each item. It would be great to see if the question is related to cloud or not without having to click through into it.

@Andrew Laden thanks! That's a great suggestion. I'll add it to our list for sure.
