Hello! Wondering what reactions you all employ in your communities.

What are they and are…

Sharing a Developer for Customization
We've used this gentlemen a few times to do some interesting javascript that filters out emails in posts, adds a helpful popup to the forums, etc. He's in Ukraine and his rate is VERY reasonable.

Community Managers On The Move...?
As I was talking to our Vanilla support team today I mentioned that we're at a point now where we're considering hiring a community manager. It started me wondering if there is any type of group established here for just that sort of thing. In my line of work, we have a private (invitation only) group for leaders of a…

However, the "old" solution aka Accepted Answer seems to be treated like a reaction. For all newer solutions, we do not have the…
