Can somebody remind me what Browniz are for? Until now I did not have much time to surf to the entire Proz.site and read all the explanations. I use your glossaries a bit as an on-line terminology backup and seem to get Browniz for that.

you can pay with Browniz Apr 4, 2003

as far as I know, you get Browniz for entering terms in your glossaries and assessing the Kudoz question-answers of your peers: they show your commitment, and you can get deduction. For instance, I prolonged my Platinum membership this morning and got 50$ deduction for \"sacrificing\" 6000 Browniz

See the FAQ Apr 4, 2003

And in particular this section:

http://www.proz.com/?sp=faq#browniz



BrowniZ points are the ProZ\'s thank you for contributing

to the site content, in several ways, and they can be spent

in membership discounts or to use some site features.

It's very useful for non-Platinum members Apr 4, 2003

Before I upgraded my membership to Platinum I used Browniz to search for agencies in the Blue Board.

According to proZ's FAQ, nowadays the Browniz can't be used for any discounts or anything else.
"Browniz contribute to a member's standing in the directory--if two members have the same number of KudoZ points, the one with more browniz is shown first."
