Ranks and the new Profile Bar

We just updated our profile bar. It now looks like this:

The new ITOG profile bar

You can now see a few statistics about your time on ITOG.com along with links to get to various aspects of your account. The bar no longer has an explicit link to get directly to your ratings or reviews, but you can still get to them via your profile, by clicking on your name or on your picture.

The rank meter is something new. We had been hearing that being ranked on Best of ITOG is fun, but not always the most convenient. To help with this, we now display your rank right there on your profile bar, and include a progress meter which shows how many ratings you need to give to move up a rank (the number on the right), as well as how many ratings the togger below you needs to give to catch up with you (the number on the left).

In my profile, I need to give 56 more ratings to move from rank 25 to rank 24, and the togger below me only needs to give one more rating to catch up with me. Yikes! (I’ll work on that as soon as I finish this post.)

This new format for the profile bar also saves a lot of space on the right sidebar, which will be important for our next update…but more on that later!
