Too the folks who have been around a while
Just a quick question, I actively check my stats just to keep up on the
number of folks helped (can tell in the morning for example if my late answers helped) and just noticed that I have no bronze or silver tag. Not that it makes my answers any better or anything, was just wondering. FYI i hit 50 6 months ago or so and 100 this last month. -- -John Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful. |

Could be one of a few reasons....
If you do not post via the web interface, your stats are not tracked. If you DO post via the web interface and you cross an answered question threshold, there's a 30 day delay (maybe 20) before the medallion appears. If you post using a newsreader AND the web interface, only the web interface posts are tracked. I hope that helps. *********** Regards, Ron XL2003, WinXP "John Bundy" wrote: Just a quick question, I actively check my stats just to keep up on the number of folks helped (can tell in the morning for example if my late answers helped) and just noticed that I have no bronze or silver tag.

The folks that have been around a while don't use the CDO interface so know little or nothing about the brownie points system.

Thanks, I post via the web and its been a good deal longer than 30 days. No

Believe the medallion thresholds/awards (for questions answered) are applied on a per newsgroup basis, albeit breakdown numbers per newsgroup currently are not available in your CDO user profile history, only totals. Eg you may have: 107 for questions answered (total). Assuming you respond regularly in 3 excel newsgroups, and assuming a rough equal split of 33% in ratings received, then your breakdown could be say: 35-35-37 (no medals yet as each is less <50). If the split is say: 60-40-7, then you would receive the bronze medallion for the first newsgroup (=50). Anyway, as-is, think the current gold thresholds (per newsgroup basis) are set way too high, at 500. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |

Oh, so you're the guy <g. In fact, the best web interface I've ever used (it's not Microsoft's) is worse than the worst NNTP client I've ever used. The web interface is horrid, and the lame enhancements like rating and ranking are a waste of development effort, since they detract from efforts to actually make the web interface work better. I've never worried about ratings or rankings. When I started I was getting a lot of help from the experts, and it's not hard to figure out who they are without gold stars. After a while I began answering more than I asked, and all that I cared about was helping people instead of messing them up further. If someone tells me "Thanks, works great", that's frosting on the cake. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "John Bundy" (remove) wrote in message ...
