How do I run weekly statistics reports on how many questions were posted to the Beta program, how many were answered, and present it to the Product Team?

How can I be alerted to new posts in areas that interest me?

Great question. In order to be notified about a new post in an area that interests you, you have to subscribe to that area. 

Here's how to subscribe to a piece of content:

• Go to the area or item you want to subscribe to. You can subscribe to an area, discussion, blog or article.
• In the upper right part of the window, there may be a Subscribe button.
  Click Subscribe for any updates or comments that are added to this item.
  
• If you do not see the subscribe button, you can also subscribe to an area like Blogs, Articles or Discussions by clicking the Options > Subscribe option in the upper right part of the window.

3: Is there a feature available within the community that you don't think is used as much as it should be, or that members maybe don't realize exists?

One feature that does not seem to get enough use would happen to be the “Accept as Solution” option. 

An Accepted Solution is a way for you to choose the answer that best answers a question that you've posted. When you accept a solution, both the question and the solution get special icons and links that take you directly from the question to the answer.

An Accepted Solutions icon also appears on boards and in search results so you can see which messages have solutions.

You can mark a solution as accepted only for questions that you've posted (you started the thread). LIVEcommunity moderators can also mark one of the replies to a message as an accepted solution.

How do I mark a message as a solution?

• To mark a message as a solution, click Accept as Solution on the reply.
  
• If you change your mind or if another reply provides an even better answer, you can revoke the first selection and accept the second reply.
• To revoke an accepted solution, click Options > Unmark as Accepted Solution.
• You can choose another solution or leave the question unsolved.

Hello team -

What are the various levels of the LIVEcommunity members and contributors? I see designations like L0member and L2networker. 

Keep up the great work!

---

That is a great question! Currently, the LIVEcommunity has seven user levels where community members are able to  

move up in rank by performing actions within the community (giving Kudos, posting new discussion threads, providing answers etc.)

USER LEVEL	LEVEL NAME
L0	Member
L1	Bithead
L2	Linker
L3	Networker
L4	Transporter
L5	Sessionator
L6	Presenter
L7	Applicator
Community Expert	Cyber Elite

And of course, then there is the Cyber Elite level that is awarded to our community member experts!

If I have a problem and need help from the community, is there a guidline on what information I should include in my post or are there troubleshooting steps I should take prior to ask the community?
