So I refreshed my browser tab with the Inventor discussion group and suddenly I am seeing new symbols I've never seen before. Is this intentional or did something go wrong? See the attached image.
I wonder if it is messed up because there is a little Autodesk "A" symbol next to everyone's username, even the non-Autodesk users...
And what does the "S" mean?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Have the hampsters gotten out of the cage? We are all Community Managers too! Is this a paid position?![]()

Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Software Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

Congratulations to all of you on your temporary promotion to Community Manager
I hope you enjoyed the 2 minutes ![]()
Kidding - I screwed up creating a new role in our system. I have since cracked my own knuckles with a ruler and reverted everything back. Bad Admin.

Was Jillian involed in this or was she just the "fall" person? I noted that she appears to have been demoted.
If this is the case, I would argue against such unjustified action... ![]()

The change was all for Jillian, actually. To fix, I had to remove the whole role altogether. Still fixing and sending Jillian flowers for her inadvertent demotion ![]()

It's all back to normal now. Nothing like a little chaos now and then to keep things interesting! ![]()

Yeahhh... so you can all blame me.
I wanted a super special role ALL for myself, and in the end hamsters were running everywhere (alright, so that's not really what happened). We're just revising some stuff behind the scenes so Autodeskers can do what needs to be done.
And before anyone asks - no this had absolutely no technical affect on your ranking, post, or any other technical functionality in the forums. It would pretty much be the same as if Pendean logged on tomorrow to find we turned him from orange to a lovely shade of pink. ![]()
And man, you folks are super attentive. Had that happened in any other forum, everyone would have been too fast asleep to notice or too quiet to say anything. Once again, I have to say: You all rock.
Thanks, and feel free to chuck any questions our way here or over PM if needed.
