How to get the most out of Refurber |

I've been looking around the site and noticed several features of Refurber that I hadn't seen before. I wanted to share a few things I noted and hope you will add your advice for using Refurber in the comments.
Under the "My Profile" section (click on "My Profile" in the left sidebar)
- Awards--I like to see what awards I've got and what level I'm at. If you hadn't noticed, the little shield next to each person's name changes based on how much they participate in the community.
- Statistics--You can see what you've contributed and, most interestingly, which of your advice columns received the best and worst ratings
- Watchlist--Click watchlist and then click on the "configure watchlist" button. At the bottom of the configure page you can set settings so you receive emails when advice articles or questions you have flagged for watching are updated. This is a great way to keep track of a question you've asked or track feedback and questions in response to an advice article you've contributed.
Under the "Members" section you can see a list of Refurber members and the little flags showing what country they live in. In addition to all the Americans and Aussies there are members from Guatemala and the Bahamas!
I know there are
many more features to take advantage of at Refurber. Anyone using the "Lounge" feature? Please help improve this advice article by commenting.
