Is there a direct user link for a user to see if/when they reach L3. I know I can ask a mod; but I wondered if there's a link without needing to ask.
(There're some threads I want to see/visit/revisit. I asked someone in a direct message; but I'm not sure if they were ignoring or didn't read it...twice.)
I have a feeling not all users, especially new users understand the modifications to one's avatar image that signal private or public notifications. So I would be hesitant to diagnose malice of someone does not respond to a DM/PN. That said there likely are also those who ignore knowingly...
The tricky part is that if you take a break and your stats drop below the standards, you are falling back to L2.
I also remember that the defaults were tweaked to give more weight to replying and contributing, rather than just reading.
In my browser I see an "avatar image" (my github image) on the top right, if there are notifications outstanding the there is a small green circle with the number of outstanding PN and a small blue circle with the number of outstanding general notifications...
I don't have the badge [again, yet] and I don't wish to see other's statuses. I want to see my status. For clarity, I found a screenshot that was [previously] given to me.
