Hey @ShowMeTwice I just found the leaderboards and under som usernames I see a +xx or a minus. Is that a rating of some sort?
And can you give a brief (like one liner) description for each, or point me to a link.
Hey Pat
Leaderboards huh??? Okay
Here is a screenshot I just took of Posts for this Week.
The +XXX or -XXX indicates a member who has moved up or down in the numbered rankings in each category. The rankings are updated in real-time. The number at the far right is the number of Posts that member has (as of the time of the screenshot).
The +1 with a green arrow for, Fran and Real-ist indicate they have moved up this weeks leaderboard for Posts. Fran went from #2 to #1.
UncLeJunkLe moved up 9 spots.
The -2 with a red arrow next to my ID indicates I dropped two spots, from 3rd to 5th. The +113 next to my ID at the top of the screenshot indicates I moved up a total of 113 spots.
0 next to daleron indicates her position, 6th, is unchanged.
There is no help or link on ECF that explains how the Leaderboards plugin functions. After our August 2022 Xenforo major upgrade, I mostly figured out how it works from watching/observing it over a period of time.
Still, I had questions about it. Those led me to communicating directly with the folks at ThemeHouse via emails. They are the sw developer for the Leaderboards plugin. TH was super helpful in answering my questions. ThemeHouse was also helpful with my questions about their other plugin we use, Achievements.
Achievements and Leaderboards are two of the new Xenforo plugins that were installed during the August '22 Xenforo upgrade. From what TH told me, XP is not a Xenforo plugin, it works in-concert with Achievements and Leaderboards.
I wrote-up a lengthy tutorial for all
three last January. At some point I would like to add more info I've since learned to that tutorial (not necessary, but perhaps would be nice).
here is the link to that...........
Some new and interesting add-ons were installed along with the August 2022 major Xenforo forum software upgrade. The ThemeHouse Achievements and Leaderboards are two new add-ons. They work hand-in-hand. This tutorial will cover Achievements...

In the tutorial I explain how XP, Achievements and Leaderboards work.
Back to Leaderboards........ At the end of each week/month, members in spots 1-3, in each category (Posts,
Threads, Achievements, XP and Media), are awarded XP. The person in spot #1 earns 1000 XP. If one ECF member is in the #1 spot in all categories, they earn 5000 XP.
Late Sunday night (US time), very early Monday morning (UK time), is when the bonus XP are awarded. Members receive the appropriate Alert notifications (Sun/Mon) after one week ends (also at month end).
Hope that helps!!!
