Improving and standardizing user trophies

User trophies are being standardized and categorized, with new color icons and a trophy tab added to member profiles. Some trophies have been revised, and new ones introduced, while a few categories, like "First Responder," have been removed entirely. Changes in point allocations have caused some members to lose trophies, but those awarded previously retain their status. The trophy system now shows only the highest achievement in each category, and there is a hidden trophy that requires earning to reveal its details. Overall, the updates aim to enhance the user experience and organization of trophies.

I'm currently going through the user trophies to standardize and categorize. I haven't finished, so don't expect it to be settled, I got to get some lunch :D

I'll update here when finished with what is new.

enjoy your lunch ! And thanks for a belated 5 year membership bonus* -- or is that a newly established traditional trophy ?

*) It was also already included in the one I got on January 17

There used to be the "Einstein award" for a combination of posts, likes, and membership time. I would have received it two weeks from now ...

There are 3 "Lifetime Achievement" trophies now. Done in 5min.
 
Ok I have standardized and categorized the user trophies along with added color icons for each. Some requirements were also tweaks and a few new trophies were added. A trophy tab is also added in each member's profile page. Enjoy!

Did the points change? Most people on the top list seem to have fewer ...

The 1000 videos trophy has been removed too.

Hats off to your enthusiasm, Greg!

It now says "You've earned 1 out of 1 trophies in this category." in all categories with progression.

"Lifetime achievements" (likes, posts, years) are not organized as progression.

There is a link to "Workshop reply master level 1" but then the page tells me I don't have permission to view it.

All my "First Responder" trophies are gone (50+ points!):H:cry:! Does this mean the First Responder category is removed entirely?
Edit: I guess it is removed entirely since I couldn't find it in the trophy list.
Also, I noticed one "hidden trophy" in the list. What is that for? (I know one has to earn it to know its details :-p but what is the idea behind it?)

It almost put me below 1000 points! :nb)

Yes it is gone.

Your trophy page will always show the highest you achieved. The trophy help page is what shows the progression. How does that look?

That looks ok. It always difficult for me to find my list of trophies.

By the way, I am missing the Academic Institution Member trophy :smile:

You would be below 1000 without the 8000 likes trophy you got incorrectly :p.
We also both got the 25 video uploads trophy without uploading 25 videos.

Hey, you'll be here for 5 years in a few days!

I see it as a closed time-like curve anomaly. 😄
I will get there eventually. On the other hand, I should be getting a few more points on Monday, which would legitimately put me above 1k anyway.
