As part of our site redesign we have once again evolved our community incentive structure. The new simplified structure focuses on Achievements, Compliments and Essential Statistics -- Questions, Answers and helpful votes. Quest Gold was removed from the site because it no longer fit with the site's structure.
Achievements and Compliments have both been upgraded with new legacy Achievements and a much easier way to compliment someone's answer by saying 'thanks.'
Essential Statistics has simplified Experience Points and Levels by just showing the number of Questions, Answer and helpful votes every member of our community has earned by category. We put a lot of effort into correctly migrating all of our community's historical contributions into the new category tree. Plus, we can now sum up category level Essential Statistics through their parent categories in our tree. So if you were a Level 4, with 1,525 experience points in "cameras" and a Level 2, with 254 experience points in "digital camera" in the old system, your Essential Statistics will now consolidate under "Camera, Photo & Video". These stats will also be reflected in the parent category "Consumer Electronics".
We encourage you to discover the new legacy achievements, try the 'say thanks' feature and check out your Essential Statistics on your Profile Page.
Enjoy your day on Askville
