Are there any benefits if I get upvotes or if my reply is accepted as a solution?
Do I win any connects or are there any benefits from being active on the community?
Many thanks
Alan

Thank you Mykola.
I see you were really involved in the community but no benefits.
This is not really encouraging for freelancers.
Should be created a top as it is in the Microsoft Community where the people to are being actively involved with answers, spending their valuable time, to be apprecaited with at least some free connects and some badges.
Anyway hopefully someone from Upwork can see this and take some action!
Thank for your time
Alan

None.
But it is a pity. Should be some bonuses for it.
