When will I be recognized for my top contributions?
I have noticed that I have more best answers than some of the other contributers in a category, and I was wanting to know when my profile will be posted as a top 10 answerer in that category.

And how do I directly contact someone from Y!A?

Thanks you for all of your help! I feel like I have been scrolling around the site and running into walls!

And yes, I know the orange badge is not the same. I was interested in knowing when the leaderboard is updated I am sure I will get that little orange badge someday!

Bonjour ! Sucre Rouge,
Go in the category where you answer the most, click on the 10 best answerers, scroll down to number 10 and check how many BA's that user has. Get in your profile and count how many BA's you have in that same category. A reminder: top contributors in a category has nothing to do with being the 10 best answerers. Some users will be in that list without being a TC. Top contributors and best answerers are upgraded every Monday at midnight California Time. Here is what Yahoo say's about what a TC is : http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/network/contributor.html Top answerers in a category depends of in which country you are logged in. Here are my credence's: Top answerer in Yahoo Services: http://qc.answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AnhlnHY40WvvBQk9YKYLMviOGQx.;_ylv=3?link=list&sid=396546089 Top answerer in YahooAnswers: http://qc.answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=Agw.7kfdl4AcrgfYCrfT2DFxRBV.;_ylv=3?link=list&sid=396546090 Top answerer in image and sound (or consumer electronics): http://qc.answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AiRXnqeSfw7aFxd6q6iBTFqOGQx.;_ylv=3?link=list&sid=396545014 Top answerer in audio and audio related: http://qc.answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AiXi6oGco9EF7DGa3oXukcmiGwx.;_ylv=3?link=list&sid=396545650
I really hope that you will acheive whatever goals you want. These were mine and i am proud of it !
The orange Badge is not the same thing as being top 10 in a category. The list is for most Best total; the TC badge has more complex criteria which Yahoo won't tell, so people won't game the system.
They update things Sunday night/Monday morning (California time). But I've often seen complaints about problems with the category-based lists, or Leader-Boards.
Since the Leader things and the badges are completely meaningless anyway, there's no reason to waste your energy on them.
