The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (August 31)
Welcome to this week's Community Beacon! For those who might be new to this initiative, The Weekly Beacon is our new tradition in which we share simple, small ways you can lend a hand in the community. The heart of 7 Cups has always been the people in it, and you do not need official badges, special training, or hours of free time to make a difference in someone else's day.
🌟 The Recognition Board 🌟
Every day you reply to these weekly threads to let us know you completed one of the tasks, you earn a star. You can earn up to 7 each week for each day of the week (1 day = 1 star). Once you earn 30 stars, you will receive the exclusive "All for one" badge!
Congratulations to everyone who has earned stars for their acts of community spirit!

Thank you!
@MentalHealthMatters01 Ah, so it should've been 7 > 45 for last week (Aug 24), but I mistakenly wrote 51 instead. I only caught it after you pointed out your total should've been 52, not 51, so that one's on me.
For this week, 7 + 45 = 52, which is where your previous total of 52 came from. Your current total now stands at 59... this week's 7 just hasn't been added to the displayed total yet.
Hope that clears it up!
This always confuses me for a reason I don't know yet
Last week I had a total of 52 stars. This new week should already say 59 stars and the stars from this week should be added to that.
I'm still confused since in the last 2 consecutive posts the amount of stars haven't changed.
@MentalHealthMatters01 Heather last post The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (August 17) - Discussion | 7 Cups You had 7 > 38. And in my first post The Weekly Beacon: Small ways to help the community! (August 24) - Discussion | 7 Cups it was 7 > 51 instead of 7 > 45 (38+7=45). If you compare your star count with others, you'll see the mistake I made there. In the Aug 24 post, your previous total jumped from 38 to 51, which doesn't add up. So, in this post, I corrected my mistake. 7+45 became 52, which is your total through all previous weeks (till Aug 17) And yeah, your current total is 59 indeed, but the Aug 24 beacon's 7 stars haven't been added to the displayed total yet. And this format has been followed throughout, so it's not something new... If you still think it's incorrect, lemme know :)
