Did you know that when you answer questions posted by other members you can be awarded Expert Points (XP)? Your total XP is then shown on your profile page for others to see.

This is how it works:

When a member posts a question they decide how many XP points they want to allocate to the question. As others answer the question the member who posted the question can award these XP points based on the answers and how helpful they are.

It’s up the individual how many points they allocate to the question, if they award points each time they get an answer or wait until the time limit for the question is up and then share out the points. They may decide not to award any points or just some depending on the help received.

It’s a simple and effective way to give feedback to contributors. As more members post questions and seek help it will also quickly give others a measure of your expertise.
