What does that mean? So every new member is going to get an activity award?

every time i get on i lose points first i'm a 7 now i'm a 4 then cant deduct its not right

Swash, your stats will change regularly as views / posts are made, and they are still working it in... give it a few days to sort out :D

Green and orange bars?
 

Hi i havent been on forums for maybe a month now and now i c green and orange bars. what do those mean?

i think that the green bars are your noumber of posts and orange the number of threads you made im not sure but thats my guess

If u click on your name or someone elses name and look at the bottom of the box it shows what they are for. The orange is for points and the green for activity. For more info about the points go to the top of the page and click on "Quick Links".....then click on "vBExperience"

Also if you click on your name and then "View Public Profile"......you will see some tabs that say "About Me", "Statistics"......click the tab that says "vBExperience"......it goes into further detail about the points.

So apparently you can gain levels on the forums just like the game! Wow awesome! lol.

From what I understand, they are to mark your level on the site, based on your posts and activity.
Hope this helps!

I don't think it's working... The percent deal hasn't moved, and I didn't level up when I'm pretty sure I should have. :sadmh9:

Okay so I did finally level...but the percent deals are still weird. LoL

Perhaps I can Help.

It's pretty much a Leveling System for vBulletin Forums. The Orange Bar is your Level (Although I'm not sure why it shows a bar for Level, could that be a clue that there is a cap?), The Green is your Activity% (Not sure how it's calculated, I'm currently reading things about it. The Blue Bar (Not under name in post like other 2 bars) is your Experience.

Also, when you click on your name in your post, you will see all 3 bars in the drop-down menu.

Hope this helps shed some light on this. -nickopet2007
