The review rankings are by points instead of number of reviews
This has been in the back of my head for a while, and finally decided to just do something about it. I asked the community first before forging ahead, and after a vote that split 70-30 in favor of it, I made the necessary changes to sort the leaderboards by points instead of reviews.
@Rosendorn and some others suggested keeping the review counts next to the point counts, and I was able to incorporate that into the design. I think it looks rather nice and it should be very helpful in that it clearly shows how the points were earned (something that a few noted could be confusing).
Last but not least, the all-time rankings are still by your total review count. There's a few reasons why, but suffice to say that sorting it by points wouldn't make sense and isn't possible.
New design
It's a fresh design with a modern aesthetic! What does that mean? Nothing really -- those are just meaningless buzzwords.
But go check it out! It's not as compact as the old design was (something I actually liked), but it is a lot more attractive and easier to read.
Your name highlighted in blue. Shown at bottom of table on overview page if not in top 15
It's easier to see now where you are in the tables, and always seeing your rank even if you're not in the top 15 on the overview page should be rather helpful.
Review all time rankings are now based on the number of reviews you see on your profile
So, this was something that always led to some confusion. Previously, YWS counted up all your reviews every 12 hours, and then ranked by what it counted. There were some reasons for this, but many just found it confusing.
So now the all-time rankings are based on the review count you see on your profile.
The Before & After
Hope you enjoy it! The overall objective with the re-design is to encourage more reviewing, and hopefully we'll see that happen.
