I'm guessing not implemented yet. though I am pretty retarded when it comes to the whole point system. Though this article was helpful

No points for posting an article? This is confusing...I'm so used to the old system...Looks like we're heading for a major shake-up.

So is the new scoring system going to take into account comments and such on skins over on WC? Just making sure I am reading the above correctly.

just my opinion, but i think the skinning geeks and bloggers should have seperate rating systems.

I like it. The first thing I thought was, hey, a nice way for me to get a few more points since I comment on and rate the skins over there. Does that mean I am a point whore? I don't know, but I wouldn't mind picking up some extra points from that.

Skinning geeks and bloggers? Not skinning geeks and blogging dorks? I think it ought to be.

Ah-hah! Now it makes sense to me.
Well kind of..........

What is skins or skinning?
No points for posting New Articles?

Also, what's the criteria used for the Featured Article and Top Article lists?

Thank you in advance. You have a great blog-site here. I truly enjoy it.

Oh good questions Insightful. And, since I'm only a couple months old into blogging on JU, let me ask (sorry if I'm so green) - how do I get the emoticons - are they called that here? And, how do I copy a quote? Where else do you get the freedom to share your thoughts and have fun doing it. Not to mention there are some really wonderful writers on this forum. I know, there are other sites, but one thing for sure - JU rocks!
