  I like it as well, but I think the gray border should be removed.

  The percentage is interesting.

  ---

  EDIT: The percentage seems to be a work in progress. I'm either in the top 0.1% or the top 0.5%, depending on when I look at it.

  My guess is that the percentage is how our points compare to all other users. 2000 points is about 5%, I think this means 5% of all users have 2000 or more points. There must be a lot of users with less than 100 points.

  The first time I looked someone with 20 points was in the top 40% already.

  As an example, Vinay (90 points) is already in the top 15%.

  Hi Richard,

  mine shows 0,1%... So there must be a lot of users with more then 120k.  ;-)

  Would be great for an official explanation how these percentage are calculated. At least in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/ff395928.aspx#Do_Achievements_have_any_effect_on_my_Recognition_Points I found nothing until now.

  Ed Price also shows 0.1%, and he has well over 300,000 points. That must be the highest % possible.

  I like the idea, but I wish I would be able to see some growth rather than already starting at the top.
  

  I honestly didn't think that having ~42,000 points would qualify for the top 0.1%. I haven't been around here for that long, so I figured there had to be plenty of others with high point totals that I just don't see in the few forums I frequent.
  

  If I'm actually in the top 0.1%, I'd love to see a list of the top 100 or 1000 users...

  Hi all,

  I'm one of the Program Managers that worked on this feature. What we do to calculate your percentile is that we bucketize users in the following buckets - 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% based on the histogram of points that MSDN users have.

  All of you are top-contributors on the MSDN network!

  Cheers,

  Yi-Wei Ang

  Hello Yi-Wei Ang,

  thank you very much for the update here. Maybe you could add an article or description on top of this page. I think that lot of people don't understand your counting.

  Or at least to add some explanation into the already existing http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/ff395928.aspx#Do_Achievements_have_any_effect_on_my_Recognition_Points

  Maybe I have misunderstood your question, but isn't this what My Forums is for?

  Another (better IMHO) method is to save URL's for your favorite forum(s) as browser favorites/bokmarks. You can save URL's for views of multiple forums also.
