I'm pleased to introduce another new feature for our community: Achievements
With our new Achievements system, your contribution to our community is calculated on a variety of factors: number of posts, replies, threads, uploaded pictures to your photo album, number of days you've been a member, so on and so forth. Points are assigned to each of these achievements and points are awarded. You can view your current achievements and points by going to
My Home > Your Profile > then click on the Achievements tab.
You'll see that you've achieved a certain level already (there is a maximum of 100 levels). You can also see how you rank among other members at the
Rankings page.
What can you do with all those points?
Redeem them for rewards! You can get achievement rewards for reaching certain milestones, such as making 1000 replies. You can also get "pixie" rewards to brighten your day -- such as little Holidays pixie for holiday cheer. The pixie rewards can be sent to others as well -- this is great way to spread good will among the members! All rewards appear below your signature -- hover your mouse over them to see the reward name and how many you've collected.
Awards are also given to members who have contributed in amazing ways. These awards are given automatically and, when received, will appear as a small icon beside your name for all to see, as well as listed on the
Awards page.
We can add new rewards and awards as we go -- suggestions are always welcome!
I hope you enjoy the new Achievements system!
