New Feature - Leaderboards

[Travis]

Howdy all.  I just wanted to let you know we added a new Leaderboards feature.  You can find this under the Community Tab (also at the bottom of the forum in the menu)

Each day, the software tallies the posts and reactions from our members.  The leaderboard will show which member got the most reputation/reactions to their posts during a 30 day period and awards them top ranks.  You can change the period of time in the upper right corner to see who has the most for the day, week, year, all time, etc.

 

Popular posts -  This looks at content that has the most reactions in a particular thread.  This is a really cool way to find the most interesting content during that time period.  That way, you don't miss the good stuff. 

Past Leaders tab - That shows which members got the most reactions to their posts each day.  Members who get top ranks each day get an award shown on their profile page.

Top Members tab - This shows which members rank in the top for a specific category.  By default, it's post count and reputation level.  But you can sort it by who has the most images, etc.

Under each of these tabs, you can follow a member and get notified when they publish something.  You can also take a closer look at the stuff they have posted in the past.

 

I think this is a really neat feature.  Try not to think of it as a contest.  Instead, think of it as a fun way to recognize some of our fellow members who put a lot of effort into SSV by providing great feedback and advice.  I find the most valuable part is the Popular Content section.  That's super cool.
