    Changes....

    I'm in a "Hope and Change" mood... I HOPE these changes are to your satisfaction...

    1. Increased the limit to amount of reputation you can give per 24 hours from 10 per day to 20.
    2. Removed the requirement to give reputation to someone else before you can give to someone a 2nd time.
    3. Increased the number of reputation comments that display on your account settings from 15 to 25.

    Asked Rick to put the awards system back on. He did, and I have configured it. Although I will be tweaking it a bit tonight. It's a program called Xperience, and it assigns points to everything. Again... I'll talk about those tonight.

    4. You may have noticed some wacky shit showing, like an "achievement" for 3 friends. I've removed those achievements FOR NOW. May or may not put them back depending on how configurable they actually are.
    5. AWARDS are back. They look a bit different as it is a different program, but they work the same. Awards for Community, Posting, Popular, etc, etc, etc.. They all calculate a bit different, based on points, and I'll let you know what all the points and calculations are tonight.

    Until then... check this out on the "community link". NONE of this matters really towards a better browsing experience. But it is kind of neat to see these things take hold, etc:

    The main one is overall experience - http://www.dabears.com/forums/xperience.php

    Awards page - http://www.dabears.com/forums/xperience.php?go=awards

    Achievements page - http://www.dabears.com/forums/xperie...o=achievements Again... not loaded, but it might be eventually when I get it figured out and tweaked.

    Activities - http://www.dabears.com/forums/xperie...?go=activities DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO THIS. Losing points, etc... is a matter of me tweaking the system and the system making those adjustments. If I lowered the points per blog from 10 to 5, it makes those adjustments and then shows it as a reduction in points.

    Stats - http://www.dabears.com/forums/xperience.php?go=stats As you can see, somethings need to have really LOW point values. For instance... days since registered. WhTF are 2 of those users? No.... gonna try and tweak this so they get points, but ACTIVE use counts more...

    Most of those have some sub-groups that you can look at as well.

    Ok... small tweaks remain, but I think I've got it going good enough for now.

    EVERYTHING has an "Experience Point" value. As you do more things, you get more points. Each item is worth a differing amount of points, and the system automatically calculates certain AWARDS or ACHIEVEMENTS based on point totals.

    Only achievement right now is 10000 posts. I'll work on more in the days to come. 5000, 15000, 20000 and maybe reputation points exceeding "X", etc...

    Various awards, you can click the link http://www.dabears.com/forums/xperience.php?go=awards to see what they are.

    Points used:

    Profile Field = 10 points per completed field
    Reputation = 1 point per reputation point (rep is different, but those points count here also).
    Per day since registration = .005
    Friends = 1 per
    Referral = 5 per
    Thread = 5 per thread started
    Tags = .2 per
    Votes = 5 per
    Replies to a thread you created = .3 for you
    If you create a sticky thread = 10 points
    Everyone gets 2 points per post
    If you get a high-five, it is 1 point
    If you GIVE a high-five, it is 1 point.

    Again, this is separate from the reputation system, but we also use those points here.

    Oh crap...I knew these inaccurate join dates would be a handicap somewhere down the line.
    On the other hand...meh.
    Umm, nice job, Loki?

    Thanks?

    What is an approximation of your actual join date?

    All,

    I have temporarily suspended the features of the eXperience settings. 2 board dumps since activated. I'm not sure if they have anything to do with it, but we shall see. If performance allows, will turn it back on in a day or so.
