I have been reading through this thread to understand things a bit more, but I am a bit confused. I joined Bitcointalk less than a month ago (August 29th), and I thought my activity would increase yesterday, but nothing happened.
Not sure how I got 28 activity after the first 2 weeks only, because I thought you could only get 14 activity points every 2 weeks. I thought maybe the system could have changed, and that's how I got 28 activity on Sept. 12th (I had around 30 somethings posts then), yet when activity was updated yesterday mine remained at 28 and I have over 70 posts now.
Could there have been a glitch and that's how I got 28 activity so fast or did I miss something else? (btw I also just commented to see if that would do the update, and nothing). Thanks!
It is normal. The forum takes some time before displaying your updated activity. You have 42 activity now, that is what you expect, right?
About newbie getting 28 activity, yes that is normal too. Every new account could get to 28 activity (2 x 2-weeks period) right after creating the account. That is not a glitch, just how the activity works (not sure why tho).
