Check Out The New Leaderboard

Recommended Posts

Look at the forum tabs up top and you will see a new option - Leaderboard. This was added in the last forum update. The Leaderboard leverages the "Like" button to reward people for posting content people like and in turn making it easy for you to find highly liked content. If lots of other people like a post, you might also. From the IPS website:

We are excited to announce the Leaderboard as the latest all new feature of IPS Community Suite. The new Leaderboard is designed to better highlight your most active members and content based on reputation and other metrics. The Leaderboard will greatly enhance both member and content discovery on your community.

Leaderboard Home

First you will notice the new feature of member leaders based on a specific time frame. In the example above it is set to All Time showing those members with the most reputation overall on your community. It also shows the content with the most reputation for the same timeframe so you get a snapshot of both popular members and popular content in one view.

Past Leaders

The Past Leaders tab shows the "winners" of each day in a history. The system counts all reputation made each day and logs the members who had the top reputation counts that day. Using reputation rather than post count encourages your members to post quality of quantity which is really important to any site.

Winner Profile Badge

Those who win the day also get a badge on their profile page to highlight that they were the member with the most reputation for a particular day.

Top Members

Top Members shows you a list of all members sorted by various metrics. By default you will see members sorted by reputation but you can also easily sort by total post content Suite-wide or per-app. All of these views can be linked directly to so if you wanted a menu item to show members who post the most files in Downloads you can just directly link to that sort view.

Leaderboard Settings

There are various settings to control the default behavior of the Leaderboard. You can define the default view and how many members to show which is helpful to tailor it to your needs.

We hope you enjoy this initial launch of the new Leaderboard feature. We are excited about the new content and member discovery abilities this offers and look forward to adding new options to the Leaderboard as we continue to develop!

I can see it now, you created a monster with this. Pandering Paul will be creating stunts and gimmicks to get likes and feed his narcissistic , egotistical tendencies .  :rolleyes: It wasn't enough to make him Detectorprospector Man of the year .  Now he wants more. He wants Klunkers place on the list. There is now way he can catch Steve.But he will stop at nothing until he gets 1st place of all of the fourm members.

 Not to worry SS. I'll be sending a substantial donation to the PD forum. I'm sure Mr H. will somehow show his appreciation.

Please notice that I didn't push the "like" button on your post.

Thank you again Steve for all of your work.

You lost me Harry - view all where what? If you look in your post here you see you have made 275 posts and have a "reputation" of 87. Same figures show on your profile at http://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/profile/207-lipca/ Reputation can be a combination of many factors but on this forum it is just the number of times people have liked your posts as far as I know. It is not impossible there is more to it than that so I might investigate further but I have to admit it is a low priority project.
