Hi everyone! I recently joined in September and am so glad I found this thread! I have written several reviews so far, set up a profile, and I have verified my email. Also, I have participated in several polls and commented several places- but I take it that only actually posting activates the discussion service? I know it was said earlier in the thread that this is no longer a requirement, but it is still listed in the points schedule on my page. I contacted support about my points (they weren't accumulating) and they told me everything was correct for my point schedule/ranking? I do plan to apply for a mentor, but for now I am so confused! I am supper excited to join the Eden community and am ready to jump in! Any feedback would be great less

Before making your first forum post of the day, go to your Dashboard and check your point balance, then make a post and find out how many points have you earned for that single posting. You'll earn 5 points if you're a Regular member — Trial members only receive one point per posting.

Almost forgot ... the easiest way is to check your "Earning Points" pop-up since it will instantly show how many points you've earned right after you hit the "Post" button. less
