Hi,I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I don’t remember signing an employment contract with inSided and I’m pretty sure I’ve never been on the payroll, let alone been to a job interview!   But for some really strange reason, the inSpired Community apparently thinks I am an inSided staffer. Is it trying to use some kind of crystal ball?I don’t think I’m supposed to be here...I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not a verified customer or whether it’s because I don’t have any roles/ranks beyond the automatic ones. But I do feel a bit bad for @daniel.boon as a result of taking his spot. Would it be OK if I could hand it back to him by any chance? It’s great to know that I’m definitely welcome here and racking up points pretty fast… But erm… I’m not sure I’m meant to be going straight from a new member to the top of the employee leaderboard in just three days! 

would love to watch this webinar

Last week, we hosted a small webinar to inSpire you around offering your users personalized experiences on your community. We had Thomas Pel (Channel Manager Communities, KPN) as a guest, who showed us a number of really interesting examples of customization and personalization which he is using on the community.I personally found the example of the in-community escape room really inspiring, but he also shows ways to customize the user experience to drive visitor conversion, to increase registrations and content creation. Here you can find the recording, it’s only 30 minutes so you can also enjoy it if your agenda is packed already. ;) Should you have any questions, feedback or ideas for upcoming webinars, just let us know!

Hey there!I’ve been chatting with @Kenneth R  recently, and we’ve come up with an ingenious idea as to how to massively upgrade the Employee Leaderboard here on inSpired. I had a friend of mine called Pilar Loof help out with figuring out the weird coding stuff, as I’m hopeless with HTML, JS, CSS and PHP.But after loads of work, here’s the masterpiece that we’ve come up with. What do you think?I think it really shows how much progress old @daniel.boon has made here in recent weeks, given that the evil Count @Julian has finally been toppled at long last. It’s only a prototype right now, but I’d say it’s already a massive upgrade over the regular leaderboard. And it also has the advantage of not accidentally throwing regular users in there either…What do you think? Is this something to suggest as an Idea? Hehehe! April Fools! :P

Does anyone know the process for claiming that great offer (custom widget on the right of the homepage) of a $50 Amazon voucher for a full review of Insided on G2? Christmas shopping is coming up…..

Behind every community, there always has to be someone who gets things started. But what you may not know, is that even you are not the first User in your Community. In actual fact, it’s impossible because Wouter takes that honour instead. That might not be the @Wouter you know either… But a very similar one… But where did they come from? And why are they a Pioneer?Some say that this Wouter watches over every Community, and that if a certain someone hadn’t thrown in an Easter Egg or two into the software, the Wouter user might not exist at all… All we know is… He’s called Wouter-1.But what does this mysterious Wouter do, and why is the inSided platform so attached to this strange user, that one cannot simply delete it? That is a mystery that may never be solved. For those who attempt to seek the truth, either return empty handed… Or not return at all. Tales of old speak of a golden dragon with the power of being immortal, while others say it is a legendary fox that lives in an office.

Hi everyone, I have been doing Account/Operation Management for a good 20 years with the last 6 years in client/customer success.
