Introducing our new and improved forum engagement challenge!

...See more Forum Engagement Challenge We are devoted to providing a supportive and inclusive space for all to interact and explore. As part of this mission, we need to evolve and increase awareness to help ensure every user gets what they deserve: a reply to their post. When a user doesn't get responded to in an adequate timeframe, it can leave them feeling disengaged and disappointed. Our forum engagement challenge is a monthly initiative to help ensure every user gets a response as soon as possible.  What is the Forum Engagement challenge? The Forum Engagement Challenge is a monthly campaign where we encourage all members, including Admins, Ambassadors, leaders, and everyone in between, to actively participate in forum discussions. The goal is simple: make 7 meaningful replies within the designated period. By responding promptly to posts, whether it's welcoming new members or contributing to ongoing discussions, we can create a sense of belonging and connection that enriches our community experience. Why Participate? 1. Build Community: Engage with fellow community members to strengthen our community bonds. 2. Support: Show your support by responding to posts promptly and offering assistance where needed. How do I participate? 1. Reply to this thread to confirm your participation. We should all aim to reply to at least 7 different needs reply posts within the month, but the more the merrier! 2. Find your way to the Needs Reply Queue [https://www.7cups.com/forum/7cupsleadership/ForumGuides_2597/HowcanIviewtheneedsreplyqueue_334779/].  3. Decide on a thread which you'd like to reply to. Consider picking one at the top of the list as these users have been waiting the longest.  4. Once you're ready, post a meaningful reply. Ensure you consider their original post and offer opportunities for further discussion. 5. Complete the form [https://forms.gle/ogwZXSg7rF72mcSW8] with a link to the thread you responded to. What do I get for participating? First of all, you get the satisfaction of supporting others. This is a reward which cannot be matched. As a thank you, we'll also award you 25 cheers for each needs reply post you respond to and will include you in our monthly leaderboard. Our monthly forum engagement leaderboard will be posted as part of our forum spotlight [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/EventsDiscussions_2666/August2024ForumDiscussionSpotlight_335746/].  So, are you ready to get involved with this initiative during the month of September? If so, comment below to confirm your participation!  ------------------------- CLICK HERE FOR THE FORM TO LOG YOUR NEEDS REPLY POSTS [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqL5FIEL3itrR794x6m4FuJT2tf9FhQ59GgBPf4GyCTtei2g/viewform] -------------------------

Why do some forum posts automatically get minimized?

...See more Hey, I have a bit of a question. I've noticed that sometimes certain forum posts automatically get minimized. I wonder why this happens because I find that this is a bit annoying if it happens in the middle of a conversation. Also, is this meant to happen this way or is it a bug? Any idea, anybody?

Tea & Cake — Compiling automated taglists
by RarelyCharlie
Last post
 April 15th
...See more This feature can compile an auto-updating taglist so you can copy and use the latest list. To enable Tea & Cake in your web browser, first you must have Tampermonkey [https://www.tampermonkey.net/] installed. Most desktop and laptop browsers can install Tampermonkey, and also some on Android (for example, Kiwi [https://kiwibrowser.com/]). But apps and Apple iOS devices do not support it. Next, install the Tea & Cake script [https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/454925-7-cups-tea-cake]. (If Tampermonkey is working, you should see a green Install button there.) Then go to your Listener Settings [https://www.7cups.com/listener/editAccount.php] or Member Settings [https://www.7cups.com/member/editAccount.php] page, and check the box "Compile taglists". This setting autosaves, unlike the rest of that page. In any taglist control thread, press the "Compile the taglist" button (beside the subscribe button at the bottom of the original post). To provide feedback on this feature, please reply in this forum thread or message me. For more information on automated taglists, see: Manage taglists [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/howto/taglist] Charlie

"Upvoted your post" notifications show up in other languages
by exuberantBlackberry9105
Last post
 November 29th, 2023
...See more Hey everyone! 🙂 I've noticed this happening a lot, the "upvoted your post" notifs sometimes show up in other languages. For example, the other day i got something in French, sometimes I get notifs in what I'm guessing is Arabic (I might be wrong, don't come at me for that). I'm guessing this happens because the user who upvoted the post uses that language in the language setting on 7 Cups. Could be a possibility, I don't know. But I'm not sure if this is supposed to happen, so I'm asking here. Do you see these kinds of notifs too, and are they supposed to happen that way? Thanks for reading!

...See more I have observed that a few of my peers are interested in engaging in discussions on Beauty & Wellness in the forums. I was wondering if its factually possible to create a community dedicated to the same, given if we receive a positive response from our fellow cupsers.  Looking forward to hearing from you all. Thank you. Tagging @GlenM @Heather225

Maintaining taglists - an experiment
by RarelyCharlie
Last post
 September 11th, 2023
...See more There seem to be many taglists at 7 Cups, and maybe it could be useful to have a way of maintaining a taglist automatically onsite. This partial solution keeps the taglist offsite, but there is no possibility of offsite contact. The taglist is maintained by a forum thread. Anyone can create an auto-updating taglist without needing an offsite account. As an experiment, the thread you are reading now controls an auto-updating taglist. To see the taglist, go to Just Testing [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/taglist?02c85042dbefff8713c5faca42b73e46]. To add yourself to this taglist, press the Post to Thread button above and write the exact words Please add me. To remove yourself from this taglist, press the Post to Thread button above and write the exact words, Please remove me. For more information, see the article: Manage taglists [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/howto/taglist] I'll be conducting some tests in this thread, so you'll be able to see what's working and what isn't.
User Interface: How to tell if I'm currently in the queue for a volunteer listener?
by GreenBeing5367
Last post
 August 30th, 2023
...See more Imagine I am a Member account. I request a volunteer Listener. So I get put into the queue of people waiting. How do I know that my account is in the queue? I think I used to see some indication in the UI that I was in the queue. But now I no longer see it. Is this a bug? How do I tell if I'm currently in the queue for a volunteer listener?
