We are were now known as element13!

Joined the group of element13 insiders for the metallic redesign in 2026!

Aluminium is the 13th element, so I hope you are ready for a ductile, malleable and highly conductive day. In the same spirit, we have given ourselves a suitably shiny, metallic new look Sparkles

Leave a comment below and share your thoughts:

  • Was there a memorable project you brought to life using aluminium?
  • Do you have a favourite aluminium can?
  • Do we have any metal music fans on the community? Black Sabbath, Metallica, Iron Maiden, or other bands?

Plus, in the spirit of our rebrand, an extremely important RoadTest has just opened for enrolment for a highly innovative new product on the market…

    I'm sorry folks, we miss our 14th element just too much! We have reverted back to Silicon (Si)! Thank you for taking part in our element13 adventure! Love from the (back to normal) element14 Community…

    I think the AI generated image needs to be tweaked a bit.

    How do I get the achievement? I commented, likes, enrolled in the roadtest all in due time. But I cannot see this badge in my achievements. cstanton JoRatcliffe

    There's kinda a 'bug' in how some achievements are awarded, especially ones that are "login on a set date" - because if you're already logged in, it doesn't trigger getting the achievement. That can happen with achievements such as this one.

    Though that doesn't prevent us from awarding it manually.
