Marc Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 VBExperience Ever wondered how you are REALLY doing on the forums? Im not just on about posts, but how much you really put into the forums as a whole? Welcome to the VBExperience addition to the forums. Seen this in your posts? This is a new feature that I have just added that will tell you exactly how you are doing in just about every sense of the forums. So to explain how this works I will describe what each means in turn. EXPERIENCE METER This is your experience meter and your biggest indicator of how you are doing in terms of other members on the forum. You gain points on this meter in just about everything that you do on the forum from posting, to filling in profile fields and adding images. Quite simply you will get points for everything that you put into the forums. You will currently already have a for each x points you will increase in experience levels. Your points are calculated on the following basis. Points taken away for infractions - 100 Points for completing profile - 10 per field Points for reputation - 1 Points for use of the rep system - 2 Points for social group members (of your groups) - 5 Points for every friend you have added - 3 Points for visitor messages - 1.5 Points for album pictures - 3 Points for referrals (when your name is added as referral when someone registers) - 25 Points for threads (new topics) - 5 Points for thread votes - 10 Points for replies to own threads - 0.3 Points for thread views - 0.02 Points for sticky threads (admin will sticky if good ) - 50 Points for posts - 2 Points for attachment views (your own by someone else) - 0.5 Points for viewing other user's attachments - 0.3 Points for Social Group Discussions - 2 Points for Social Group Messages - 2 The Points and Level you have currently achieved are shown above the bar. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LEVEL UP METER This bar shows you how many points you need to reach the next level, along with a percentage you have currently achieved towards that target. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTIVITY METER Your activity meter shows how active you are in comparison to the forums current level of activity. The system calculates the activity by taking the average post count of the ten most active users (in the past 30 days) and compares it to your own post count. EXAMPLE:- Lets say that it only used the top 3 active users and they had 30 posts, 20 posts, and 10 posts. This would be an average of 20 posts per user (added together and divided by the 3 users.)... Your activity will then show a percentage of that in comparison to your posts. Therefore if you have 10 posts you onlyhave half of the average and your percentage would be 50%, and to get 100% you would need to have posted 20. This is on a rolling 30 day postcount over all users and is counted from today (hence the reason why most people are currently 0%) .. This will start filling up and be fully active once it has collected 30 days of stats. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- AWARDS With this new system comes some awards. We currently have a gold, silver and bronze award for posting and a community award (others to come) .... The posting awards are made up of the points gained for threads, posts, attachments, views, stickys and voted threads... The community award is for the member who has most used the community areas of the forum, which are profiles, social groups, albums etc. These can be seen next to the users name when they post and if you point at them you can see what the award is for. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ANYTHING ELSE?? Well I'm sure this would not be good enough if we couldnt see just how we stack up against other members and know what to aim for, would it? Therefore if you go to the VBExperience link within the quicklinks menu you will find a whole host of statistics that you can view along with league tables on all areas of the forum experience system and the awards. Hope you enjoy this new addition to the forums. As always, please feel free to ask if there is anything you do not understand and I will try my best to answer any questions you may have. Enjoy Marc.
