the new little bars on the side...

Hey Ian, I was wondering, what are the "activity time" and the other bar on the profiles of the memebers?

I saw them this morning for the first time, and was curious.

It's a system I'm toying with a bit - it's called "vBExperience", and it levels out the rating by overall forum activity, which is everything from posting, to starting threads, to giving out reputation, to participating in groups and blogs and uploading photos to albums. I thought it was an interesting addition, sort of like a "sane" version of "blessings". It also gives out awards, although I think it does so arbitrarily. So I have some playing to do still.

ah.. that makes it about as clear as mud... , but it sounds like a pretty good thing.

Hmm... better way to explain it: Look at a member's profile, and you'll see a tab at the far right of the tab-bar (Visitor Message, About Me, Statistics, etc...) called "Experience". If you click on that tab, you'll get an idea of what the experience system does.

Ahh, Tanks

Any time.

I'll probably enable some more of the features once I'm certain they won't be more annoying than anything else.
