Interest Rankings are a way to measure how well myLot users are perceived by the community within a particular interest.
How can I view my interest rankings?
Interest rankings can be viewed on your profile page. You can get to your profile page by clicking the link below your avatar on the left menu.
Once you are on your profile page, click on "my interest rankings" in the left menu.
If you have not already made changes to your profile page, you can also find your interest rankings in the right side of your profile page under the section titled "my interest rankings".
If you don't see the section on the right side of your profile, you can add it by following these steps:
- Click on the "edit profile" button on the left menu.
- Click on "add content" in the upper right.
- Now in the first drop-down box, select "Sortie".
- In the second drop-down box, select "Interest Rankings".
- In the third drop-down box, select the container you want to add the Interest Rankings sortie to.
- Select the column within the container where you want it to display and click "add item".
- You should now see the newly added "my interest rankings" sortie.
Note that Interest Rankings will only show up on your profile if your responses to discussions have been ranked by other users.
What items are displayed on the "my interest rankings" sortie and what do they mean?
On the "my interest rankings" sortie, beside each interest's avatar, you will see:
- Level - This is a calculation based on your ranking for this interest compared to everyone else who is ranked in this interest. The more positive ratings your discussion responses receive from other users, the higher your level will be, compared to other users in this interest. The higher your level, the better.
- Rank - This is your rank within this interest out of everyone who is ranked in this interest. Your Interest Ranking Level depends on this Rank. The lower your rank, the better.
- Bar Graph - The bar graph is a graphical representation of your Rank compared to other users that are ranked for this interest.
The best way to increase your Interest Rankings is to contribute positively and often to discussions within a particular interest.
Note that Interest Rankings are calculated once a day, so you may not see changes for up to one day.
