There is a little green dial below my name, it used to be right round to the, err, right, now it appears to have gone the other way. I have no idea what it shows but I am doing far less well at it now than I used to , apparently, whatever it is. $:-\$

That's something that always annoys me in UI design - icons with no obvious meaning, and no easy way to find out that meaning. Hey and I don't even get a 'green dial' - or that 'pencil' thingy next to it - wonder what that means?

It relates to the size of your portfolio on iStock, and thus is supposed to give a guide as to your level of expertise/experience, though that is somewhat moot.

I suspect however that the iStock UI changes have probably broken it. No doubt Leaf will fix it in due course...

ETA: At least, that's what I thought it was - but I don't seem to have one either... and I'm sure I used to...

I hovered, nothing happened. The little pencil, that explained itself ( well I knew that one anyway), green dial, nothing.

I use a tablet. No hovering.

I hovered too, nothing happened, so not just you. It appears to be broken.

spot on -- no "enlightenment" there, me neither.

Funny though how some people "explain" something that they themselves very obviously neither know the first thing about nor have spent a second and tested or tried :)))
