    IIRC that was always in our actual profiles but is only now showing up under our handles in threads. It's probably just a forum software feature that doesn't get used here. This is a generic forum template, not custom coded for Cake. I'm assuming it's so admins can give the plebes virtual cookies if they've been good.

    I'm not so sure myself. But it does appear that Beepster may be onto something there regarding standard forum feature vis the program itself...

    I was poking around the vendor's site to answer this question and did not find one, but I did find this:
     
    A full-featured photo gallery app is included in APG vNext. Your members can share photos and organize them in albums, making it easy for you to build a community around user photos. 

    Users can drag 'n drop multiple photos to upload, and the software auto-resizes them to fit viewer's browser resolution.

     
    And this:
     
    APG vNext lets you embed multi-question pollsin your forum and blog posts. You can survey your members easily without relying on third party solutions. 

    You can conduct as many surveys as you want within your community, which makes it easy for you to understand your members and make adjustments to keep them happy.

     


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    One would think it's linked to helpful posts but it's not. I scoured for posts marked helpful since the change and those users Reward Point status has not changed from 0. I recall doing the same check when I first noticed it shortly after joining and same deal. I was kind of hoping that helpful posts would give you reward points which could then be redeemed for product discounts... but that would obviously be a bad idea due to abuse. The guys who post in that massive thread in the CH would have free Cake products for life if that were the case. ;-)

    I had a pointy reward once.  I had to have a tetnus shot afterwards.
     
    Make that, Two pointy rewards, then.
