I was level one, with just '2 points to go' a couple hours ago, I've since obtained those points required to level up, yet it still claims 'level 1', same as before.
Yah, I just noticed I was one point away from the next level (28) and now I'm 150 points in the hole....WTF??

Apparently I also am a thread necromancer. How do I find out what thread that -50 is talking about?

wlmngtn, I'm not sure if you tried it out yet, but if you click on your own public profile, you'll get a brief explanation for each of those little awards.

That's a really good question, and i have absolutely no idea as to the answer. Shall we do some testing today to figure it out?

I don't believe so, they are just erased...

You could do this with Flash very easy if you know AS3 and good at it. Also can do this with jQuery and the SPIN plug-in. Only prob with jQuery is the spin doesn't work in IE 8.

Pretty simple stuff that would enhance and customize it. I can do it in Flash for a certain fee too if interested. Of course I would provide proof of concept first with revisions.
Sorry, no flash allowed

In time, we will definitely see if we can change the bar graphs, but at the moment, lets perfect the system we have first

Some of it isn't working properly and a bit buggy. Some issues here like I see repeated icons. ^^ No Flash allowed? Why? because of what Steve Jobs said about Flash.. LOFL! That guy is on crack!

the promotions and such are run on 10minute cron jobs, so yes, it is possible there will be slight delays from action to reward...there are also activities which garner negative points and slow your progress...

A day later, and it still says 'level 1'. and looking at my profile, there are no 'negative points' listed. Which means, it's a bug....

I don't believe there are any bugs, we did goodness knows how many hours of re-coding and testing...
let me take a peek.

let me take a peek.

I had 48 points yesterday, and it said '2 more needed for level up', now I have 56 points, and it says 44 (or so) more points needed to level up.

This would suggest that '50 points' is the demark point from level 1 to level 2, and I've exceeded it, yet it still says level 1.

----
Now says 96 points, and 4 needed to level up. I'll wager, if I slam out a few more posts to get 4 more points, and exceed 100, it'll still say level 1.
