Do we get points for doing indexing anymore? Mine hasn't changed for a long time.

    points? mine just tells me how much of what ive done, plus totals

    i think there should be ranks based on how much we've done though. 1k, 5k, 10k, etc

    What do you mean by points? We do show stats on how many we have done. Is t his what you are referring to?

    Do you mean that your “Indexing Totals” on your Web Indexing page seem not to be updating? On another post within the past several weeks I recall that this issue might have been the result of the person’s having two FS accounts.

    In the old indexing system (before the web indexing) there was a point system. The points didn't really mean anything, though. I don't know how you would see that your "points" haven't changed since they did away with that long ago, if that's the "points" you're talking about.

    I liked the points in the old desktop system. They were a way of acknowledging that you had indexed intermediate and advanced projects, not just beginner level. You got more points per record the harder the batch was. Since we switched to web indexing, over 4 years ago, we have not had any points, just totals.

    I had forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder.

    I was refering to the Indexing totals. They are not changing on my site on the monthly basis? It doesn't matter in that the work gets completed. But I like to see my totals go UP! :)
