Just curious about the Forum User Level. Mine does not seem to be increasing. For the entire month its remained static. I've made several post's been fairly active. I've received several kudos and nothing is changing it.
Perhaps Autodesk dramatically change the points system that determines levels?
Thank you for any replies.
@RandyKopf - it is my understanding that it gets progressively more difficult to progress to the next level with each increase, and there are a number of requirements for each level progression. For example, one of the requirements in the formula might be a set number of comments to reach level 9 (say, 250 or 300), so even though you might have surpassed solutions, ideas, page views, solutions, etc., you would need to hit the comment requirement to progress. Because of this you will see less 8's than 7's, less 11's than 10's, and so on. From what I can tell you're incredibly close to progressing to 9, but then moving to 10 will take longer due to it not being a linear process.
@JDMather - ohhh the Tesla. I can't recall, what did Carl or Amar say about that at AU? 
Well that may be the problem...What I inferred is likely incorrect. That is I thought the circle around your rank filled up as you progress from each level.
But after looking at different forums all level 8's show the exact icon. So that would explain why I never see any actual change in my activity as it will only change if I hit level 9.

@RandyKopf - yes, you are correct in that the icon itself does not actively show progression. Completely understand that we've lost your interest, but just wanted to say I appreciate the time you did spend on the boards helping others.
You guys have problems, really!
I've posted here for almost 2 years with over 4000 posts and I believe over 300 solutions at the time I received the Mentor badge.
The scale is clearly not linear and that makes a lot of sense to me!
Here's a picture from my profile a while back Level 9, Kudos 1073, Solutions 417 not sure how many posts. I'm not sure how the system works because there are some with a higher level but with lower kudos and solutions than that.

@brianrepp - I don't think the above written is true. Sorry to say because I have seen people with very fewer posts, kudos and solutions with rank 8. They could have achieved those ranks when the system was active. But if the rank system consider the time period you have joined the community, then I could be wrong. Because I am new member of the community and it has only been 2 months since I joined. Please confirm that the community ranking system still works. Because even though there are no rewards regarding this it would be nice to see yourself in a top rank after 10 years.
Because of this you will see less 8's than 7's
I see more 8's than 7's 🙂

Another data point for this meaningless distraction. Hit Rank 10 with post on 10-10-2018 11:02 AM; first post 05-02-2017 01:30 PM- so, a little over 17 months. I liked the light green Rank better- just seems more hopeful and positive than orange.
