Badges on the Envato Marketplaces

We’ve made a change to the way in which badges are displayed on the Envato Marketplaces that may affect you.

Due to the large amount of community badges available for users, we’ve had some cases where some of our super-involved community members have a large amount of badges being displayed around the site. In some cases this has had the unfortunate side effect of causing styling issues or just plain looking a bit weird!

This means we’ll be shortly implementing a change where by default, badges will be limited to 9 when displayed on the forums, but will remain unlimited when viewing author profiles. If you have more than 9 badges when the feature is deployed, the 9 badges displayed on the forums will be ordered alphabetically until you choose an alternate order via your settings page, under the Badges section.

If you ever are awarded a new badge, it will go to the top of your badge list until you reorder them.

We hope this change will help bring some consistency to the forums and will give you greater control of the achievements you wish to highlight.

We expect this change to go live in the next 24 hours.

    Most people wont go to an author’s profile for just viewing the badges i believe.
    A better option would be to show all with some kind of accordian or maybe roll-over.
    I personally see a new badge pretty often and see what it is about and trying out if it is related to some monthly contest. :)
