Anyone else disappointed that when you increase in Yahoo Answer Levels, nothing happens?

Just hit level 4, and I *knew* nothing was gonna happen, but it still bummed me out that nothing happened... No email, no cute little thing popped up that said "You reached Level 4" - I mean you even get that if you vote for an answer!!

And this Yahoo answers "Swag" that they talk about (i guess every level sees it) is a lame picture background that you can put on your pc to advertise them???? For them to say "in reward for your {whatever}, we give this advertising jpeg to you" is kinda insulting...

Blech!

Update:

There were too many good answers that I couldnt choose just one!!! Had to go to the vote! As you can see the voting is all over the place which shows theyre all good..

Congrats RoyalLady1947 on hitting Lvl 4!!!

(if Yahoo isnt going to congratulate us, we have to do it ourselves!!) :)

    Hi, I reached level four this week too and I know what you are talking about. I was disappointed as well. Thennnn, thinking about getting to level 5 seems so much in the distant future, doesn't it? Hey, maybe we should get extra points for each level we hit, huh? Here we are posting our little hearts out and then "nothin"! Oh well, I wish to congratulate BOTH of us for reaching level 4! Onward to Level 5...maybe some color will be added to the light green Swag on level 5 for our bonus! LOL

    Yes I kinda was/am. I just reached level 3 and on the

    leaderboard page its like " a extra special Thank You" and

    Im waiting for something. A thank-you note or something? I

    dont know i guess expecting to be surprized was wrong of me.

    It takes alot of work for me to type. I dont have feeling in

    my hands/fingers 9 (because of a spinal cord injury)and have to look at the keyboard to

    type finger at a time. Im not complaining I like giving answers and a quesion here & there. Reward... how bout a shortcut to answers on my desktop.?

    The swag is lame but higher levels do allow you to answer more questions.

    The special thank you emails are coming & because you reached level 4 you can answer more questions, ask more questions, & rate, vote, & comment more. http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=...

    I agree with you on the swag though. It's pretty lame

    NO. Because this is addictive I just get more answers each time I rise in levels.

    Jus t a bigger number until you get to the next level, but unfortunately I'm hooked.
