Topic: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) - page 101. (Read 2761186 times)

i see that if i don't have a post in 14 days, i miss activity , but if  28 days next i have a post , so activity return is newbie . reset begin .

You can't add an avatar until you are a Full Member. You can add a signature in your profile settings but only a minimal one currently until you achieve a higher rank. Go to your Profile then Forum Profile Information and change your signature at the bottom.

Can anyone guide me how to add signature and Avatar of any project to my profile???
Any guide link if available.


regards

Yeah but my account is almost 3 years old and I have 218 posts (219 with this) yet in my activity it shows 196 only.. any idea why?

Your Activity is purely based on posts. Private messages or "Total time logged in" have no effect on your Activity Level.

That's what I was saying I read the thread before but your previous comment seems kind of not true to me and thus I asked. BTW, thanks for replying and making me even more alert about the points. If I am not wrong. We get 14 points within 14 days.. Daily 1 point if we do 1 post or more but it wont be counted daily instead it will be counted within 14 days.

My point exactly. You must not have read the entire thread or fully understand, because your activity  can never surpass your post level, nor will it ever increase by more than 14 points at a time. I assure you that your total time online or private messages have nothing to do with your activity level. Go back and read the info again.

Post and activity are *not* same. "Posts" is total post count. Instead, activity depends on no. of posts you made during certain periods. A period is 14 days[1]. You get maximum of 14 points per 14 days as activity. If you haven't made any post in a 2 weeks period, you will loose activity points in that period forever. However, if you make at least one post in a period, you won't miss those activity points, instead, it gets accumulated and once you post next time, your activity will increase. That is, if you posted 3 times in a 2 weeks period, then your activity increases by 3 at the end of that 2 weeks period and remaining 11 points is saved up for later. When you post next time, in another period, you will be able to get 25 points, either if you post 25+ times or if your "posts" is higher than activity, i.e. 14 points of that period plus 11 points from previous period.

Scenarios:-

1. Consider you have 112 "posts" and 112 "activity". You post one time, then at the end of a period, your activity and posts will be 113. You got 1 activity point and remaining 13 points will be accumulated for later.

2. Consider you have 112 posts and activity and you made 20 posts, then at the end of period, your posts will be 132, but you activity will be 126. (Note: 14 points max per period(2 weeks = 14 days.)

3. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 15 posts, then your posts will be 140, but your activity will be 126. (Note: 14 points max per period.)

4. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 1 post, then your posts will be 126, but your activity will be 126. That is, you get 1 activity point by posting once in that period plus 13 posts (125-112=13).

5. Consider you have 125 posts and 112 activity. You made 5 posts, then your posts will be 130, but you activity will be 126.

Where can i find my user id if ever i will have one? Thankyou

I don't know but that seems not true to me. I have much more posts than my activity level and I am also online most of the time. I even send and receive many PM's but still my activity seems to be same.
