From now on, you'll be issued points each time you post, upload photos and video, post events, write blogs, refer new members and much more (check out this link for a full rundown).

Your points and actions are then used to issue awards and achievements which display on your forum profile and posts.

As you can see from the list, there are loads of ways in which you can earn points and you can even see how many points you need before you 'level up'. You will also notice that your profile page has a new 'Experience' tab which gives you a handy breakdown of how you've earned your points and which awards or achievements you've received.

Our hope is that we will start offering new features and benefits (hidden forums, product discounts etc...) to users who have reached certain levels, so the more you contribute to MoB, the more it benefits you.
