Awards

Awards are named recognitions you can choose to show on your public profile. Your own award list explains each one and records when you earned it.

Open Settings → Account and find Awards below your profile and cursor settings. The five circles at the top represent the awards you have chosen to display. An unused place appears as an empty dashed circle.

Read your awards#

Opening the section loads your earned awards and then checks for newly earned milestones. You may briefly see Loading your awards…, followed by Checking for newly earned awards….

Each available award shows:

• its name;
• its description, when it has one;
• Granted award or Milestone;
• an Earned date.

A granted award is given by the people who run Glob Social. A milestone can recognise the number of nodes you personally shared as separate public shares. Nodes that merely sit inside one of those shares do not each count as a separate share. The award's description explains that particular recognition.

If the section says No awards earned yet, there is nothing to select. You do not need to fill the five places. You can leave your public profile without any awards.

Choose what your profile shows#

Under Show on my profile, tick the awards you want to display, then choose Save selection.

You can select up to five. Once five are selected, the remaining unticked boxes are disabled. Untick a selected award to make room for another. To remove all awards from your profile, untick everything and save.

The circles preview your current selection using the first letter of each award's name. The change is saved only when you choose Save selection. Wait for Your profile awards were saved. before leaving the section.

Your public profile lists the names and descriptions of your saved selection. Your own list also shows the earned dates. Awards you have earned but have not selected are left out of the public list.

An award that has been withdrawn is no longer offered for selection and no longer appears on the public profile. Reopening the section checks the current list rather than relying on the circles you saw earlier.

If a check or save fails#

Newly earned awards could not be checked just now. means the milestone check failed. Choose Check again to repeat that check.

Your awards could not be loaded. means the list itself failed to load. Choose Retry. Awards are not available right now. Try again later. asks you to return later.

If a selection is refused or cannot be saved, the section tells you that your last saved choice is still in place. The checkboxes return to that saved choice too. Review the selection before trying again.
