Title of Top Kudoed Authors widget now updates if user changes preferences

As az38 brought to our attention, if users changed their personal "Top Kudoed Posts component:Time range" (Preferences) parameter value to, for example, "All time..", the widget "Top kudoed authors" displayed the correct digits but had an incorrect title (it still showed the last 30 days). This issue has been resolved.

You can find more information on our Top Kudoed Authors widget, including how to change your preferences, here.

Microsoft Employees are now more easily identified

Community members who use a Microsoft.com e-mail are now automatically identified by a rank icon next to their community username, as seen here for community member @MiguelMartinez:

New ranks are coming
