ABA DSS - Free to Air Satellite TV Community - View Single Post

**ncliff** · May 19th, 2008

As some of you may have noticed by now you have three(or two) new bars under your name in your post-bit. This is another new feature we are introducing called vbXperience. Hopefully this post will shed a little light as to what exactly this does.

Purpose: To measure your involvement in the ABADss community other than simply post count.

How it works: Points are awarded for everything you do on ABADss. From posting responses or tagging threads there is a point for virtually anything you do that contributes to the community.

I posted but don't see my points? Every ten minutes a "cron" cycles through the forum and updates your points, however you must be signed-on in order to have your points recalculated.

So what are you gonna do with this? Well we can virtually do anything we want like we could before but this allows us to easily track and reward our members for how active they are in the community.

All right, all right, well what do these three bars mean? Glad you asked, the top bar (orange) is your level bar it goes from 1-100. The bar below that (blue) is your level up bar, it tells you what percentage you are at that level and how many more points are needed to level up. Last the bottom bar is your Activity bar. This bar takes the top 10 most active posters and then compares their average to yours to determine this number.

We will be eventually expanding this feature and it's capabilities in the future by awarding members who excel in certain areas with medals and such. We are extremely excited about this feature and hope you are to. If you have more questions we can discuss it here. Good luck and Happy Leveling!
