Introducing Community Badges

Hello photography enthusiasts! 

I’m Karolina, the Customer Success Manager at Capture One. This community is the perfect place to exchange ideas, share your work, and connect with like-minded individuals and I’m thrilled to be part of it! 

To acknowledge the achievements and contributions of our wonderful forum members, we have introduced community badges.  
 
These are a simple way to recognize and celebrate the efforts of our members, and they provide an opportunity to showcase your expertise and stand out from the crowd. Here are the badges on offer:

• 'Up-and-comer': awarded to new members of the community who have wasted no time getting involved in discussions 
   
• 'Top Commenter': awarded to users who contribute most to discussions in the community 
   
• 'Conversation Starter': awarded to members of the community who actively create posts and start discussions 
   
• 'Moderator': a member of the Capture One team 
  
  

The awarded badges will appear underneath your name in your profile and when you post.

Which leads me on to the next thing… profiles!  

You may have noticed that you all now have a public user profile. This means: 

• You can follow each other to stay up to date with posts, comments, and other activity in the community 

• It’s possible to create a bio and add more information about yourself 

• You’ll be able to stay up to date with the topics and people that mean most to you in the forum 

Simply click on your name anywhere in the forum to be taken to your profile or use the menu in the top-right corner of the page, where your profile picture is.

We hope that these small changes can help to create a supportive and collaborative environment where photographers can grow, learn, and succeed together. 

I recommend that you go into your profile and set your name to prevent your comments/posts from displaying with “FirstName LastName” – you’re much more likely to get a response if you set a username and profile picture.  

I look forward to seeing the new badges next to your names and continuing to see the amazing contributions you make to the community. 

This is just the beginning, and we hope to bring you many more improvements in the coming weeks and months. 

Best regards, 
Karolina
