Definitely coming.

Meh. Thought so. Me too! Here ya go, have another. Imagine the cool little readout on the little level-up bar on your profile bubbling up eight whole points. Doesn't it make you feel good? Lol.

Yoink.

Yay! Guess it's not such a bad idea after all, eh?

The hair on the back of my neck is standing up right now!

In other news, I have absolutely no idea what that means?

Yoink!!! I can't believe you don't know what it means!

Nope. I said no to slang. Oh, wait; here we go:

Someone yoinked your avatar!

I look forward to some sort of indicator of how close I am to the next level - it could provide more incentive to find a decent post (or at least one the community will love).

Would it be better to show it as a percentage (% needed to achieve next level so far gained) or as a number (number of karma points needed to achieve next level)?

I would rather have the numbers personally.

Numbers is preferred by me as well, but the way the old one looked was a little bar that grows as you get more points. I believe it was points based, rather than percent too.

Points. I like to see the numbers. "Points Needed: xxxx" or something to that effect.

Well I remember in the beta testing days when you could vote for yourself and it meant something.

This may be a dumb question...but can you level down for being inactive? I just went from pee-wee scout to Big Boy, back to pee-wee.....

this thread just completely changed...

No. It's possible that you were teetering on the 3/4 edge and got some downvotes that sent you back to 3. Did you post a dupe or two? Say some offensive stuff? Downvotes would be the only reason to lose karma level.

Thought so.....no, I didn't...sometimes it shows on my profile page when I level up, but not up top...a small bug, I guess.

It's fixed, now.

Oh. refresh, too. Also, log out and log back in.

And if you don't want to get downvotes, don't be such an a*****e. (winkyface)
