New Goodies for Content Contributors
Submitted by Admin on 21 March, 2008 - 11:00.
In our ongoing quest to make life better for our content contributors, here are a few system enhancements that should melt in your mouth and not in your hand.
Top Contributors for the Week
We listened to your feedback and revamped our "Top Contributors" system. The new system still lists the top lifetime contributors and it lists this week's top contributors. This should make it much easier for you new contributors to get the recognition you deserve while you work your way to the summit.
My Workspace
If you're logged-in, you'll find a new link in the top-right navigation block called, "My Workspace". This link will open up an area that lists everything you (and you alone) have contributed. An especially useful feature of this area is that it lists your unpublished content too. So if you've contributed something and need to make a change (but forgot the URL) here's where you can find it.
My Points
The My points area lists a running log of rewards points you've earned and redeemed. Going forward, we'll make log entries when you cash in points that should help us all keep better track of who's on first.

Good Stuff
points that is... :)
My points place
I like the my points place to see old posts that did'nt made it, but it lost the older posts a couple of day's before, and now i cannot see if two pieces i posted will make it to the front.

The My Workspace section is
The My Workspace section is a much needed addition, and if I may make a suggestion: I'd love to be able to see all submitted content by contributer (so everything except comments), the track user stuff under the profile is to cluttered to be really useful.
Also, a possible bug, I'm not sure how the widgets you're using work Juicemaster but I'm seeing a different point total under "My Points" and under "Top Contributers", I'm assuming that it takes a bit for that to update (not sure if you're using cached pages or not).
Thanks for the feedback
Thanks Jordan,
We'll add your suggestions to our list.
And, yes, we do cache the Top Contributors list since it's an expensive operation (too expensive to do on every page load).
It's currently refreshing every 6 hours.
The top of the Top Contributors page tells one when the last refresh took place.

Points for thought...
How about pick a "Top Contributor of The Week" and maybe throw them another 25 points or something.
I'm no so sure
I'm not so sure that's fair. I think a bonus for the highest rated article in a week might be a better idea.
Good for newbies
This area is really helpful for folks new to juice...glad to have some insight.
Really like the additions
Its nice to see who contributed for the past week, like you said provides some visibility even to the people that while making a lot of contributions haven't quite made it to the first page of Top Contributions.
Also the ability to look at what you've contributed article wise, is an excellent idea. I know several times before on other sites, I've tried to track down my old articles and the only way I did it before was by making favorite shortcuts.
