Contributions Not Showing

Question

I'm brand new here and would appreciate some help. I provided two answers to a question at the Genealogy Help forum. Shouldn't those show as two "contributions" under my profile? Thanks!

Answer 1

When you create new profiles or edit already existing profiles, those will show in the contributions totals on your profile. Your G2G activity will accumulate here. 

However when you answer a G2G post that has a link to a profile that is being discussed, those often do get listed as a contribution.  Have no explanation how it all works, just my observation from seeing "you answered a question" popping up on my contributions list and presume a point was also added to my total. 

Answer 2

No, G2G has its own contribution count.

• You start with 100 points
• Every question you ask is 30 points
• Every question of yours that you select the best answer to is 30 points
• Every answer is 100 points
• Every answer of yours that receives best answer is 300 points
• Every vote up on an answer you give out is 10 points
• Every vote up you receive is 30 points
