14,080 is the number of people who has Parenting as an interest and 5136 is your ranking with 1 being the best. it is based on number of (+) you get from other users for your discussion under this category. The more plus you get, higher your ranking would be! I hpe it is a little clear to you.

hi cindy. that's interest ranking. we are ranked in every interest that we have joined in, based on active participation in that particular interest. active participation may include the number of posts you have contributed in that particular interest. as you have been ranked in parenting (5000+ out of 14000) that means out of 14000 or so mylotters in the same interest or topic, you are ranked 5136 based on your active participation there. and since you posted this discussion in under interest "mylot", you are also ranked in the same manner. :) no rankings appear, if you don't include it in your interests. hope this helps. enjoy mylot. :)

Thanks for explaining. Never quite got the ranking system now I do and never quite understood the importance of adding discussions to my interests!

Hi, cindyhxf! Well, that was your ranking in that particular interest. You can make your ranking increase as long as you are active in that interest. When your ranking reaches at least 10, your name will be placed on the interest leaderboard. Happy mylotting and have a nice day!
