Profile Score
What is a Profile Score
Everyone's profile on S & H has a profile score. A profile score is calculated by the number of fields on your profile that you have completed. Some fields (like location) are awarded more points than others.
The main point of profile scores is to encourage people to complete their own profiles. A low profile score (see next section) will prohibit you from viewing other member's profiles.
Minimum profile score required to view other profiles
To view other people's profiles, your profile needs to have profile score of 15 or greater.
How are the profiles score calculated?
For each profile field you complete, you are awarded addition points. The following table illustrates how points are awarded:
| Field | Points awarded |
| Interests | 5 |
| Personal Statement | 5 |
| Profile Photo | 5 |
| Avatar | 2 |
| AIM address | 1 |
| MSN Address | 1 |
| Yahoo Address | 1 |
| Skype Address | 1 |
| Website Address | 1 |
| Location | 5 |
| Signature | 1 |
| Gender | 2 |
| Comments by other members | 1 per comment |
Does this effect everyone?
No. The following user groups won't be applicable to this: VIP, Pro Members and Admin.
I've updated my profile, but my score didn't change!
This will happen. To save on the database load, scores for every member are recalculated nightly. So please be patient and wait 24 hours.
