Community Ranks Ranks are a terrific way for you to see a community member's role and activity and to celebrate your own accomplishments. Community ranks show if someone has been regularly active and helpful in the community, such as a top contributor. Some ranks, especially those related to managing the community, come with special permissions. Ranks also recognize the contributions and impact of a community member. As you increase your contribution activity (like creating new topics or providing solutions, for example) your rank can increase. Every time you earn a new rank, you will receive an email notification. Once you have gained a new rank, a rank name will be displayed right next to your username. The exact formulas and criteria remain our little secret to keep things exciting. Seeing Someone's Rank You can find a member’s rank in two ways: Next to their name when you are looking at one of their posts in the community: Under their name on their profile page:Contributing to the Community

GDPR applies no matter where you are located. Closing Your Community Account In the community, the user can close their community account permanently. The user will be signed out as soon as the account is closed. Closure clears all Personally Identifiable Information (PII) fields in the community.

Community Contributions After Account Deletion A user's contribution (posts, comments) and engagement (kudos, accepted solutions) will be retained in the community after account deletion. They will be associated with an anonymous user. The "Anonymous User" will have a standard username and a default avatar to distinguish it from other users.

SLA for Account close The SLA for Account close is 30 days. Recovering a Deleted Account A deleted account cannot be recovered if a user changes their mind later.The user will need to wait 10 days before they can sign up again with the same email address, but this process does NOT recover the user'scommunity account. It treats the user as a fresh new user and none of their previous contributions can be restored. Reusing a Username After the required wait time, and if available, the user might be able to use the same username in the Community. However, it will be treated as a new account with no association to the previous user.About Inline Replies & Threading
Inline replies as well as the threaded display style both help organize replies; this makes the context of each reply more visually clear. When you reply to the main post, it is displayed inline with the main post. When you respond to another reply within the discussion, your post is shown indented underneath that reply. You will be able to sort a thread by Most Liked, Oldest or Newest. This helps to keep the conversation context relevant, allowing other users to see where your contribution fits into the conversation. Threaded Topic Display If a thread is solved, you will see the accepted solution(s) right below the original post. This helps bring the relevant information to you first instead of having to search through the thread for the solution(s). Replying to a Topic When you clickReply to the topic, the reply box opens directly below the post. Additionally, you can utilize the toolbar to format your reply. After you post your reply, the reply is displayed inline with the topic. Reply to a Reply You can nowReply to responses made to the original post. Replies to the main topic are always displayed inline with it. Replies made to other responses will be displayed indented below the reply. When you clickReply to an existing response, the reply box opens directly below it, and you will have access to the toolbar to format your own reply.How to Use the Toolbar
The toolbar allows formatting posts in a variety of ways, making it easier to convey information. The toolbar offers a variety of options such as, but not limited to, changing the alignment of your text, adding bulleted lists, and numbered lists. You will also be able to: express yourself with emoticons, insert tables, code samples, images, and so on. This article will walk you through the process of using some of the toolbar features. Expanding the Toolbar To see all the formatting options available, ensure the toolbar has been expanded. If you only see one row, the second row is hidden. You will need to click on the button with the three dots to expand the toolbar. Text Formatting Text and Font: Make common changes to your text, including italicizing, bolding, and underlining, along with crossing out text, and customizing font based on available options.

Alignment: Align your text in a variety of ways; left-aligned, centered, right-aligned, or justified. Lists:Create bulleted or numbered lists. Indents: Choose left or right indents. Table of Contents For longer pieces of content (such as tutorials or this article, for example) you have the option to create a table of contents. This will provide readers with clickable links for sections they would like to visit. First, format each section with a Heading in order to enable the table of contents feature. Next, select the Table of Contents button and the layout box will appear. You can drag and drop the box anywhere in your post. Note: This button will be unclickable if at least one Heading does not exist. Emoticons You can select from over 2,500 emoticons within eight categories.

Simply select the number of rows and columns in the Table menu to create a new table. Code Samples You can also include code samples, such as the HTML sample shown below.

@mentions allows users to call out other community members and community content within a post. This is helpful for responding to a forum topic when you want to link it to another post that includes helpful information. Community supports two kinds of @mentions: User Mentions Content Mentions User Mentions With User Mentions, users can call out specific users in their posts and invite them to join the conversation. You might @mention a user when you know they can answer a question or supply valuable insight into a thread. Also, you may just want to ensure they see when you directly thank or give them public praise. For example, you want to thank a user (admin) for their great answer to a question you asked. After clicking the “Reply” button, enter an "at" symbol (@) followed by their username, “@admin”. As you type, a pop-up menu appears with matching names. You can either continue typing the name or select a name from the list. When you select or finish entering the name, the mentioned username is highlighted, as shown here: When users are mentioned in posts, they receive an email notification. Content Mentions Content Mentions enable users to call out specific posts within the body of a message. This is a way to quickly embed a link to other content in the community. Content mentions are supported in all conversation styles in both topics and replies/comments. For example, you respond to a forum topic and want to link to another post that includes helpful information. Type the @ symbol and any keywords in the subject or body of the message you want to link to. As you type, search results with messages matching that keyword organized by conversation style appear in the pop-up. You may enter multiple words in the pop-up. When multiple words are entered, all words must be present in the subject and/or body. When you select an item in the list, the subject of the post is highlighted with a hyperlink in the body of your message. When content is mentioned in posts, authors are sent email notifications.Terms of Service
