Points

:)If you are wondering how your Points/Money/Credits is determined, heres the formula:

Points= (Total score=PostsX0.1+ThreadsX0.26+DigestsX5+Online Time (hours)/1.5 )

Its recently been changed and updated to English (I still havent figured out what a digest is, tho, and when I hover over other avatars, their digest says 0) :o

So its determined by the number of Posts you make, the Threads you start and how much time you spend online(and the digests) You can easily see these numbers by just hovering your mouse over your avatar on any post youve made or click on your avatar at the top right corner of any page and then click on "personal info" on that next page.

You can still move up in Levels even if you dont post a lot of patterns and charts, you can still start a Thread on another topic, or ask a question, I never posted a pattern until I was at Level 3.

If you keep a close eye on your online hours, youll notice they may stay the same for several days then have a sudden jump, sometimes mine will jump 15-20 hours at a time and so will my points, it seems to happen a few times a week, so keep an eye on yours, especially if you are close to changing levels.

Often the jump will take place overnight and youll wake up and find you are at a new level because your hours and points have gone up enough to push you into that next Level .. a nice surprise!:loveliness:

DIGEST is out of function

Digest is out of function... Hmmm, then I guess it doesnt count toward our points after all.. if were following this formula, that was just updated into English this week-

Points= (Total score=PostsX0.1+ThreadsX0.26+DigestsX5+Online Time (hours)/1.5 )

So Points are now just determined by Posts, Threads and Online Time

**Using Collections and Advanced Search

Another way to search for an item you are looking for, or just to see whats here if you are browsing the board is to make use of the Collections area. Anyone can make a collection, and the number you are allowed increases as your Level increases.

Just click on Collections at the top of the page on the blue bar or use the links below and your can take a look. If you see one you like, you can subscribe, too, it just highlights it for you to make it easier to find later. Feel free to leave a comment for the lists owner, or give it some stars in appreciation.

Collections are a nice way to sort things out if you like a certain designer, you can start a collection just to keep them all together (I have one for Annies Attic Crochet Patterns as an example) or to keep a list of items that you like to make all together (like my Hats, Hats, Hats and Beanies, lots of crazy hats)

Its your collection- you can name it whatever you want and add whatever you want to the list, just a nice way to keep patterns you like together. You can add and remove patterns anytime, too.

Links to above mentioned Collections-

**Advanced Search

When you are searching for an item, Ill use doily as an example- when you type it in, a long list comes up. You can narrow that down a bit if you look up in the right corner you will see another search bar with the word "advanced" above it. Click on "Advance" and you can now just search for "doily" in just the crochet or knitting area or maybe you want to check on doily in the bounty area, this will help your search ,,, and be sure to use the words doilie, doilies doilie too! (and any other possible way you can think to spell it)

Click here for an example of the advanced search page- http://www.pindiy.com/search.php?mod=forum&adv=yes

Keep an eye on what ends up in the search space- sometimes old search terms pop back in there and you have to delete them and start over- itll happen just when you think you finally get it right, too, so watch that space, lol! Using Advanced search gives you many options, take advantae of them to narrow your search, its a great help.

@medillon61 has a nice link where she has explained using Collections and Advanced searches - take a look, nice explanation its #10 in this thread - http://www.pindiy.com/for ... 9207&extra=page%3D1
