New Rating System

We would like to draw your attention to some changes that have been made to the ranking system.
As you know rankings play a vital part in the way that our community works. They enable the askers to know how the expert done in solving previous problems and gives the experts an important feedback as well as allow them to participate in FixYa’s premium services.

There are now 4 ranks to choose from:
FixYa! – The highest rank. Should be applied when the proposed solution solved the problem.
Helpful – The solution provided helpful information that helped solve the problem or at least provided good directions.
Thanks For Trying – The solution provided some help but didn’t solve the problem.
Inappropriate – The solution had nothing to do with the problem.

And experts are divided into 4 groups:
Guru, Wiz, Master, Guide and apprentice.

For more details please refer to our rating explanation page.

We strongly encourage you to rank the solutions but please bear in mind that the help you’ve received was given free of charge and due to the kindness of other people. Please treat it as such.
