# Celebrate milestones and say goodbye (/welcomer/welcomer-extras)













A milestone is a member count worth celebrating, like 1000 members. The member who takes your server past it gets a special card and message. You can also post a message when someone leaves. Both are part of the welcomer, so it has to be on: see [Welcome new members](/welcomer/welcomer).

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Open the welcomer [#open-the-welcomer]

    Open your [dashboard](https://tickety.top/dashboard) and pick your server. In the sidebar, under **Welcomer**, click **Configuration**.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Turn milestones on [#turn-milestones-on]

    Under **Member Milestones**, turn on **Milestone Celebrations**. Milestones ride on your welcome, so a welcome channel message or DM has to be set up.

    The first member to join after you turn this on only marks where your server is. The celebration is for the next milestone you reach.

  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Pick the counts [#pick-the-counts]

    **Milestones** shows up below once **Milestone Celebrations** is on. In it, type a member count and press Enter, like 5000. To celebrate over and over, type something like `every 1000`. You can have one repeating milestone and up to 25 others. It starts with 500 and every 1000.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Change the celebration [#change-the-celebration]

    Below the list, **Card Badge** is the line added to the member's card, and **Badge Color** its colour. **Milestone Message** replaces the welcome text for that one join. The **Preview** shows the card.

    In Discord, a milestone join looks like this:

        <img alt="A milestone welcome with the badge on the card in Discord" src="__img2" />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Turn on the leave message [#turn-on-the-leave-message]

    Under **Leave Message**, turn on **Leave Message**.

        <img alt="Leave Message" src="__img3" />
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Pick the channel [#pick-the-channel]

    Open **Leave Channel** and pick where it is posted. Change the text below if you like: it starts as the member's name and "has left".

        <img alt="The default leave message in Discord" src="__img4" />

    If verification is on, **Verified Members Only** skips the message for members who never verified.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Save [#save]

    Press **Save Changes** in the bar at the bottom of the page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Accordions>
  <Accordion title="A milestone was passed but nothing happened">
    Check that the welcome channel message or DM is on. The first join after turning milestones on only records your count, and a count your server had already passed never fires.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The card has no badge">
    The card is not attached to the welcome, or **Card Badge** is empty.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="No leave message">
    Check **Welcomer System** and **Leave Message** are on, a **Leave Channel** is picked, and Tickety can post there. With **Verified Members Only** on, members who never verified are skipped.
  </Accordion>
