Yes I noticed badges when I logged in today. What are they for? Do certain amounts give one points? As for the links and classified, has anyone tried them? I am seeing all this for the first time. For now I can't say anything until I understand it more.
I think we all are learning new features. Until Now there was no official announcement about implementing so they can be not 100% bug free or finished.
Still, this is good to see progress and new tools added frequently. Admin stated lately that he is working to ad many more additional features to our forum so I think excited times are coming, dear members.
