Dear community,

A code push for our "Sprint 4" deployment is scheduled for Thursday, December 3, 2015 at 7:30 UTC (2:30 am ET / *Wed* 11:30 pm PT). Below is a list of the items we are pushing out.

During the code push, caching should still serve pages to visitors. Community members will not be able to log in during the deployment. We anticipate the deployment to last approximately 30 minutes.

The biggest change that all of you need to be aware of is that your badges will no longer appear in the comments. We made some improvements to the points and badge system and I made the decision to help us streamline managing multiple images for badges. All badges will continue to appear on your user profile.

The 5-star rating system on articles is being replaced by a "thumbs-up" system.

You will also notice in your user profile, we are added optional fields for shipping address and t-shirt size. Hint hint, you may consider filling those out after the code push ;)

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns that I can address.

Regards,
Jason Hibbets
