Q: These new-fangled awards

Just think... one little add-on to your browser and POOF!

It's for those folks who are not running the puff css.

You know, you could always use the Happy Mac Picon as part of your permanent "signature" like you're doing right now!

Thank Hiroto as he is the CSS guru - all I did was make the CSS script into a ready-made Stylish script

ENJOY

Gamification is the application of game-design elements and game principles in non-game contexts.^[1][2] Gamification commonly employs game design elements^[1][2][3][4] which are used in so called non-game contexts^[1][2][5] in attempts to improve user engagement,^[6][7] organizational productivity,^[8] flow,^[9][10] learning,^[11][12][13] employee recruitment and evaluation,^[14] ease of use and usefulness of systems,^[10][15][16] physical exercise,^[17] traffic violations,^[18] and voter apathy,^[19] among others. A review of research on gamification shows that a majority of studies on gamification find positive effects from gamification.^[3] However, individual and contextual differences exist.

Hello Pinkstones,

If you are still unsure about the Avatar, I seem to remember someone saying they had to show it in their formal avatar  place... and someone else saying you needed to do that, then immediately change it back if you prefered the original.   So I did both, completed the task but I'm still not sure either 

As far as Levelling up is concerned It did used to be level 4 but as points became somewhat easier to get, it became Level 6 and has been that for at least six years.

You'll make it, I never thought I would though.

I'm pretty sure that when I joined level 4 was at 8,000 points and level 5 at 20,000. There was no level 6 or above. The boundaries for each level changed at some point but the target for entry to the lounge stayed the same, as did the points for helpful and solved. (These may have been different in the deeper past.)

Level 4 used to be 4,000 points, and that was what you needed to gain access to the Lounge. I don't recall how many points were required for Level 5, but Level 5 was the highest level a member could attain. In November of 2005, Jive came on the scene, and the requirement for Lounge access was increased to Level 6 and 8,000 points. Members who had attained Level 4 or 5 in the previous version of the software (Web X) had their points doubled to retain their Lounge access.

Under the Web X software, each post a member made garnered one point (even if it was a "Thank you," or "You're welcome").

There was a positive and negative voting system (which was sometimes abused).

Niel could tell you exactly how it worked, if he would deign to grace us with his presence here. (My memory may be somewhat suspect; it was a long time ago.)

I'm starting to feel like a kid creating multiple accounts to play a multiplayer game all by myself.  ;-)

Kind regards
