What is credits formula?

I always see this in my credits page:

Credits = ( Posts×0.1 + Threads×0.26 + Digests×5 + Online Time (h)/1.5 )

I dont understand this formula, is this how credit reward is calculated?

Does this mean I get 0.1 credit for every post I reply to, 0.26 credit for every thread I start, 5 credits for digests and 1.5 credits for every hour I spend on the site?
Am I getting that right?

Yes, youre right! You need 10 posts (aka replies) or 4 new threads to actively gain one credit, or you need to browse for half an hour (like searching, interacting, etc., its not enough to just open the page and leave it like that, in the background, overnight) for passively gain one credit. I did not mention digests, because tho they exist, they are very rare (explained here in detail).

Good question, this explains why it takes so long to level up.  Need to be really active!
