Just setting a custom header banner and sig picture will increase your ranking alone. Hubs with default settings get lower ranked. This was actually announced by 3DHubs not too long ago… Also should elaborate on your description a lot more. Give more detailed descriptions of your pictures too and (not my design’s) should actually include the thingiverse link (or whatever site it was downloaded from). Also you should post a lot more pictures of interesting things that you think people would generally want printed (phone cases, toys, gadgets, statues) put details about the print in the description of the picture as well (layer resolution, material type, infill, etc.)

The wider roll out will happen in May, we’re currently ironing out the bugs. As its only available to a small group of Hubs we’re not (yet) taking it into account for ranking.

Cheers,

Ok! Thanks for the giant update guys!

Unfortunately, I’m a bit confused with the verification. First of all, as far as I know, I am still a “starter” level hub (in the United States). However, I am still able to verify my hub from the dashboard and the verification tab. I thought you had to be at the “intermediate” level to become verified. Is this a bug? Or is everybody now able to become verified?

I’m also having issues with the postal verification. I entered in my address and confirmed, but then the verifying button grays out with a spinning wheel. And if I refresh the page, the verification button lights up again, as if I hadn’t done anything at all. I’m not sure if the postcard request has gone through, or if I’m doing something incorrectly.

Any input on both of these problems/bugs would be great! @Filemon or @Brian, any suggestions?
