> “Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify, simplify! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.”

 — Henry David Thoreau

Monday evening is a big housekeeping day for us. In addition to Renaming Sorties to Activities, we are also consolidating Level Icons and Level Ribbons into a Level Badge. This change has been a while in the making and a result of how Alludo is actually used. Most Alludo admins use the same graphic for icons and ribbons.

On Monday evening, we will consolidate icons and ribbons into badges. As ribbons are the larger of the two files, we will migrate level ribbons to level badges. If the ribbon is missing, we will use the icon file.

As with renaming sorties to activities, you should not experience any interruption in service.
