Hello Gliders!
Fun fact: We enabled our forum leaderboards a few weeks ago.
The leaderboard scores come from “cheers”, which reflect a range of activities like spending time in the forum, reading threads, responding to posts, and so on.
You’ll find your total “cheers” score on your forum profile:
We’re going to recognize a handful of up-and-coming contributors each week, starting today. This special leaderboard excludes our most active members, so that we can easily spot folks who are new contributors to the Glide community.
Contributor shoutouts 
Congratulations to our first set of contributors:
- @Himaladin for tackling member questions in Ask for Help
- @Dilip_Adiga for asking questions, and helping us troubleshoot issues in public
- @Yoga for doing the same - thank you for bringing your questions to the forum!
Note: We won’t always call out the top three each week, but we’ll always pull from the leaderboard. The more active you are in the community, the more likely you are to get a shoutout!
Speaking of shoutouts…
