Hello Rewards Warriors,

Is everyone missing the Top Kudos section on the right side of the Earn Activities and Redemption Forums?

It disappeared from the General Forum section months ago, now it's missing for me from these two Forums.

Would someone let me know if you're experiencing the same issue. This information is used to determine member's status rankings.

Have a Blessed Day,

Marylin

I already miss the top Kudo'ed Post listing. I have looked a few times just out of habit and realize that they took that down and I'm not pleased about it. I used the top Kudo'ed Authors somewhat less but would look into their posts if they produced a lot of interest in that forum that week. ACE is no replacement for these features and I find the doublethink that the reduction of Community features is actually an improvement to be absolutely laughable.😂

Nothing will change now anyway...

After a week of wondering and private

messages sent now I know it’s not just

me. I don’t understand why AARP would just

take the Kudos down and not poll us or at

least let us know they were doing it. (Did I

miss that?) Also I PM’ed a Moderator 5 days

ago and have yet to receive an answer

Thanks for posting. AARP is not getting a lot of push back for deleting the The Top Kudo'ed Posts and Top Kudo'ed Authors from forums. However, any comments are better than sitting on our hands, even if management doesn't seem to listen. Management of the Community is stubborn about their changes and just seem to be unable to consider when they are wrong and fix it.

Nothing will change...

I am confused. I've clicked on a bunch of the links and can't find a list of rankings. I don't know which title is higher than others or what each one means. I did see the top headers when they wee there. SInce I'm usually not one of them, it was not noticed when the disappeared. Where can I look to see what my "ranking" means? Thanks in advance.

@mi4090 I read all that in the first place. What I'm asking is where is a list of the rankings? Not the people, but the rankings. I can see that Andrew, for example, is higher rated than me as he is gold and I am silver conversationalist. Newbie is newbie. Other than that, I don't understand the difference in the terms. I know folks like you who have worked hard for kudos miss seeing the list and I confess that the few times I saw my name, I had a good feeling. But I hadn't noticed it was gone.

Is there such a list of the order of rankings? I didn't see it in the linked material from Michael.

@HokiePoq The following information can be found on the Community ranking article: https://community.aarp.org/t5/About-Our-Community/Community-Ranking-Structure/m-p/2262473

We have 21 different rankings in our community with 6 of them being passive and the rest engagement oriented. Here is a better picture of what that structure looks like and how you can rank up:

Newbie is a member that has newly registered on AARP and has viewed messages in the community.

Visitor is a member that has progressed in their registration age and starts viewing more messages. They become a Regular Visitor as they consume more posts and login on a regular basis.

Info Seeker (Info Seeker +, and Info Seeker ++) is a member that’s consuming even more content and viewing other people’s posts on a regular basis.

Contributor (Periodic Contributor, Regular Contributor, Trusted Contributor, and Super Contributor) is a member who is starting to engage and become active in the community by replying to messages, and giving kudos. It’s possible a person can escalate from newbie to contributor very quickly.

Conversationalist (Bronze Conversationalist, Silver Conversationalist, and Gold Conversationalist) is a member who is starting conversations, giving kudos and tagging their posts.

Social Butterfly (Regular Social Butterfly, Recognized Social Butterfly, Trusted Social Butterfly, Esteemed Social Butterfly, and Honored Social Butterfly) is a member who is tagging their posts, being recognized by others via kudos, and others are accepting their posts as solutions.

I hope this helps!

Hi Marylin,

can you provide a link to the practice of using Tags, how and when to use them

Thanks

Lucy,

SOLUTION: How TAGS Work

Tags make your post easier to find
Use the name of Topic for post created as the Tag.
Tag post that you want to bring to other members attention.
When members or non-members search for something similar all posts related will be listed.
Example: Search Kudos and this post will be listed.
Then you can reply to already created post on that Topic.
No limit on Tags that I've seen.

Hope this helps😊

Have a Blessed Day

UPDATE: I thought I just found out that the KUDOS button only shows up in Firefox and Microsoft Edge browsers, not in the CHROME browser.

But once I moved all my AARP bookmarks over from Chrome to Firefox, the kudos button disappeared again. Tried moving all my bookmarks over to Edge to see if the kudos button disappears again. well, the kudos button showed up when I was NOT logged in, but when I logged in, the kudos button disappeared again.

[6/26/26] @KristBelt , NOT an "expert" on this but wanted to add my 1/2 cent.

I have ALWAYS used CHROME with this AARP Community Board = NEVER had an "issue" with their KUDO BUTTON.

I seem to remember (lol, old & forgetful), that a member can CHOSE "not" to see the KUDO BUTTON.

Hmmm, maybe you "mistakenly" chose this OPTION?

Take care,

Nicole!
