Feature Update: A More Rewarding Streak!
Howdy, all!
You might have noticed that we’ve released new profile rollovers on the website. Facilitating supportive and safe interactions between all different types of users is why we exist. Our hope is that the new rollovers make it easier and fun to see who your fellow cupsers are - and learn a little something about them.
As part of this, we’ve updated the streak mechanic to make it more rewarding. Previously it only recognized completing a path step as contributing to a streak. As 7 Cups has evolved over the years, so has the myriad of things you can do to feel better or grow. Streaks now reflect this and you can continue to build a streak even by simply visiting the platform (for which you’ll now earn some growth/cheers points).
Whilst we’re here, we should also mention that upgraded user profile pages are coming soon too. We haven’t given these important pages much attention in recent years so we’re excited to give them an upgrade!

I love this new change you guys, it absolutely awesome.
It is neater and looks a bit cooler but I think the main point is that it's a change. I know a lot pf people don't like change but I'm one of those that likes little things to change every now and then so I can stay interested.
Just one tiny thing I wanted to point out, now I can no longer see the adult or teen tag in the rollovers. Sometimes, especially in the forums I wanna take a quick peek to see who I'm talking to before responding and it's a bit of a pain to have to open a whole new tab and wait for it to load up just to check someone's age group.
Other than that, it's wonderful and I can't wait to see the new profile pages 💜
Thanks @Mahad2804 - yes we're working on fixing that bug. Should be out soon.
@Heather225
Hi H! 😊❤️ Many thanks for the forum post and the update!
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
Just a heads up that we've noticed some bugs with streak tracking and are looking into it
@Jon7Cups Don't give up Jon! You got this!
Maybe we need a positive streak of community comments to help support Jon until this is fixed :)
@GlenM
Lollllzzzzzzzz lufffff you allllll, Friday is it?
Celebration after this code is done done.
@GlenM
Could not agree with you more O.G. ! 😊 ❤️ Precisely my thoughts as well, as can be seen above in the thread. I'm like....come on crew.......circle the wagons. It's time to support this guy, all of his efforts as well as the rest of the dev team.
These changes are coming fast and furious around here. If you blink, you just might miss something, lol 😊 Our talent is working very hard and it's quite evident.
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
@SparkyGizmo yes! Jon actually shared your post with me. That kind of perspective helps and means a lot. Thank you for sharing that with him. As you outlined, a lot of this work goes on behind the scenes and it may look like a relatively small issue, but it can actually take a long time to fix. I need to make a longer post on this in the future. We are all working as a team together and the more visibility we can share on these things, and the actual work involved, I think the better alignment we can have across all of our efforts. I'm just learning to do this now and your post helped!
@Jon7Cups
Gotcha! I looked for this thread specifically to ask about that. Good luck! (My streak has remained at a solid 1 day since this improvement lolzzzzzz.) Today is the best day of your life! Embrace it!
@PatienceImpatiens Me too lol
I've done the path every day since the beginning of this month. I had a 2 until I did the path today and now I have a 1 again
@PatienceImpatiens @jon7cups, we pushed a fix yesterday, but looks like it didn't address it. Apologies! We will hope to get a fix up today. Thanks for patience :)
You tried! And that’s what counts with me! Effort! Thank you!
@PatienceImpatiens
Well said my friend, so very well said! 😊 I enjoyed hearing you say that as I am someone that is of the same mind-set.
*high fives* 😊 and big *hugs* ❤️
@GlenM
I love this website. Y'all saved my life. So, I am forever indebted to y'all. So please, I'm totally on y'alls side.
@Heather225
so sorry but what update are talking here. I just got bk from a 13 day break and there been a lot changed since I was gone.
@Heather225 The corresponding notifications appear to not have been updated yet:
Thanks @cloudySummer! Will look into it.
All - we are still debugging this, but we think it might also already be working for most of you. Is anyone still having challenges here?
@GlenM
Yup, still at one day here. Just kinda ignoring it at this point as it's not meaningful information.
@PatienceImpatiens thanks for letting me know!
@GlenM I had a 2 until I did the next step and now it's back to 1 lol
@mytwistedsoul thanks for letting me know. Sorry about that! We are working on it today and tomorrow and I should have an update soon.
@GlenM No worries! :) You're welcome! I figure it's probably more frustrating trying to find and fix the problem than it is for me having that 2
All, we implemented a fix towards the end of last week that we think has worked. Let me know if you think your streak isn't working correctly.
@Jon7Cups Actually, Jon, I just wanted to say that the streak seems to be working correctly now, for me, at least for 4 days. Thanks for fixing it.
What is a streak?
