What are the Orange and yellow bars

[christod1]

Hi to all. Does anybody know what are the new orange and green bars under the rep power indicator. They weren't there yesterday.

New toys! How fun...

 

[gomd3]

yeah, Im wondering that too... if we fill them up do we get a special superpower or something?!

The green bar is activity (how frequently you visit/post/reply/etc)

The orange bar appears to be some sort of "experience" (like an RPG!). I obviously don't know for sure, but guessing it's based on some combination of post count, thanks, thanked and rep. :don'tknow:

Dennis if you give us new toys, please explain how to use them!

Here ya go. Dennis posted this on the Staff side. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Bottomline, visit often, post a lot, participate in all the areas of the Forum.

vBExperience is an advanced level and activity system. It will calculate an activity and experience score for every user based on their activites on the forum. Now your users will see how their level is increasing by participating on your forum.

Communities are not only defined by post count, they need much more parameters: Are the postings the user creates helpful? Are his threads frequently read? Does the user participate on the community by posting pictures, attachments, leaving visitor messages, tagging threads?

There are mainly four things visible for the users: The users score, his level, his next level up in % and his activity in %.


Calculation of the score
Taken into calculation are these things:
Threads
- Created threads
- Thread views of own threads
- Thread replies of own threads
- Thread votes of own threads
- Thread tags (vBulletin 3.7)
- Replies to own threads
- Sticky threads
