Note:
Leaderboards and points accumulation are not updated in real-time, so if you believe you have a higher total than what is currently showing, be patient, it will update by the next day. You can also see a breakdown of your points by going to your profile and then clicking on your points total.
We believe this feature will incentivize more users to participate, which will drive more highlighted answers, which will in turn make our community a better support resource for our products.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve the leaderboard experience, please let us know in the Community Chat forum.
