A New Look For Community Profile Page

Community members learn about each other or track their own activities via community profile pages. To improve the user experience and address pain points, the community team has redesigned the entire page.

The biggest improvement is we replaced the cards and slider with a dashboard. In this Dashboard, you can easily track your activities by timeline and filter them by different applications (Answers, File Exchange, etc.). All of your stats, such as ranking and reputation, and badges earned are included in one dashboard. If you are looking at your own profile, there are tabs for managing followed content and communication preferences. We also introduced a content feed section, which brings together your contributions alongside your followed content

We encourage you to explore the new profile page. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, let us know by leaving a reply to this thread.

We are excited to announce that File Exchange now awards reputation points to the authors and you can view the points and rankings by week, month, year or all-time on the new leaderboard .
Reputation point is commonly used in many online communities to build trust and show appreciation to contributors. File Exchange rewards reputation points to authors who submit files, but it's definitely not easy to earn! You earn points when your files are downloaded or rated by other community members. Therefore, you should be very proud of yourself no matter you have 10 points or 10,000 points. It's the recognition from the community. See table below for detailed rules:
Now that we have reputation points on File Exchange, we introduced the short-term leaderboard to better view the points and rankings. You can filter by 7-day, 30-day, 365-day, and all-time, which helps you understand who is more active recently or who is a long-time contributor.
We hope the reputation and new leaderboard will contribute to the growth and success of File Exchange community. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us. Simply reply to this article if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions.

User Spotlight: Ameer Hamza

Today, I’m spotlighting Ameer Hamza , our newest MVP in Answers. Achieving MVP status is considered as a significant milestone and we know how hard it is to obtain 5,000 reputation points. Did you know Ameer earned 3000+ points and provided 1000+ answers in just 2 months? If you go to the leaderboard , you will find that Ameer ranks 1st in both 7-day leaderboard and 30-day leaderboard.

Due to Covid-19 pandemic, people have to stay at home and rely more on community for help. We have seen a significant increase in new questions per day. Luckily, we have a vibrant community! Many awesome contributors like Ameer double their effort to help people in need. Join me to thank Ameer and many other contributors!
