IIRC, Paul said it is twice as difficult to get to the next level as it was to get to the current level. Much like how the frequencies of musical notes are related to a musical scale...where getting to the next level is like climbing an octave.

I think this makes a great deal of sense mathematically, and is an appropriate model to use. :up:
I know bro..You were not implying. I was. lol

for me it was a big surprise i got a new rank.
There is some formula based on the # of releases you have (add-on, styles, graphic sets), the total number of "installs" of said releases, and weighted (I believe) that releases for newer VB versions count more than releases for older VB versions.

This formula will determine your title. The first "upgrade" is to "Contributor" and then depending on what your releases are you might go to "Coder" or "Designer" or a "Coder/Designer" combo for people who release both add-ons and styles in sufficient quantities.

As I recall, Mark and Joe are pretty much spot on.

If you hover over your title, it will pop up a tooltip of your actual current [overall] release level.

RL1 = Contributor, RL2+ = Coder or Designer (or both).

(You can also see a list of Coders or Designers, it can take a few seconds to build and display the lists).

Read post #12 in this thread...Joe explains how it's computed and therefore what it means.
