Understanding leaderboards
Leaderboards are a useful way to find out who's contributing the most in the Community. They provide consolidated snapshots of member activity, and help all members learn about highly valued contributors.
Leaderboards can be viewed in two ways:
- via the Main leaderboard page, located at Resources > Leaderboard.
- via a condensed leaderboard component, located on the right side of each forum page.
Main leaderboard page
This leaderboard displays the top 10 contributors across the entire Community. A member's position in the leaderboard, their name, and the points they've earned are shown.
If you are logged into the Community, you will also see your profile's current point total.
You can view this leaderboard for the following time periods:
- This Week: displays the results for the current week to today.
- This Month: displays the results for the current month to today.
- Last Month: displays the results for the previous full calendar month.
- Overall: displays the results for all time.
Condensed leaderboard
This leaderboard displays the top 3 contributors across the entire Community. A member's position in the leaderboard, name, and the points they've earned are shown.
This leaderboard displays the results for all time (Overall) only.
Points
A member's position on the leaderboard is determined by the points they've earned.
