Hi Superstars,

I noticed that 'Award Badges when reaching a set number of points' has made it into the next version roadmap... seemingly leapfrogging claimable badges which has been down for v.1.5 for a long time now. (By the way, your expected months on the roadmap still need tweaking - out of sequence at the moment)

Just wanted to raise the issue, not squabbling for what comes first, but I'm thinking there would be efficiency synergies in implementing all these in one go rather than in separate releases. Link below provides extra detail but for anyone new to these ideas the basic premise is:

BUYABLE BADGES: Badges that you have to spend your EasySocial points to get.... so if you want them, and you have the points, you can 'buy' them from the 'view badges' page.
CLAIMABLE BADGES: Same concept as above, but they are FREE to claim... things like "I am a Manchester United Supporter" or "I quit smoking"

Hello Andy,

We actually don't want to go through the same viscous cycle like we had in 1.2 because the beta process is extremely long since we made too much changes In a software world, this is a good and a bad practice. The good part, more goodies and the bad part, slower release cycle. We weighed the pros and cons and decided that we should keep a rapid release cycle instead
