Just noticed that along with "Adobe Employees," "Community Professionals," and "Community Members," there is a new designation - "Community/MVP."

Maybe that has been around for some time, but I just noticed it today.

    Now that MVPs have got a new bright orange badge, perhaps it's the time for an official explanation of the real meaning of this acronym in these forums?

    It's not "orange," it's "Mysterious Vermillion Paint."

    Hi Bill,

    It's what you might call an unintended sneak peek. We've been working for several months on a better badging solution. The aim is to recognize and distinguish the contributions of our moderators and expert community program members, without turning the forums into an alphabet soup of labels and badges.

    We are still testing various solutions and getting feedback from the moderators and various Adobe community programs with a stake in the game.

    We hope to roll out the new solution (along with reinstated points, # of posts, and a much spiffier profile design) by the end of the June. Stay tuned, and sorry if we caused any confusion.

    Not very original. Microsoft has had the MVP designation for about 15 years. stands Microsoft Valuble Persons. I was offered the position as a MVP. I turned it down. Because I didn't think I was really that qualified, and Your required to come to Redmond  a couple of times a Year.  Something I am finanically un able to do. Anything that MVP's Turn in as bugs get top billing. And they have access to research tools.  I was given the  MCC designation instead. which means I know a little bit more than the average bear.
