Received four medals in commerce community

January 16, 2011 |

Author ravikanth

I joined commerce community exactly 30 months before and in this 30 months, I have learnt a lot by just going through the user queries. I tried to reply to some of the user queries. I hope most of the times I succeed in answering to user queries. Today I have reached another milestone. I have received four medals in commerce server forums (no one in commerce server forums got these many medals). These medals are given to the community members who contribute in forums. In last 30 months, I have answered more than 1100 posts and in that 504 of my posts are marked as answer. This recognized has inspired me to work towards my firth and final medal and hope I can able to achieve this in next two years.
