Reputation....?....

[Thorphin]

Okay I'm trying so hard not to be dumb, but I've been on this board for a couple years and just now started hearing about Reputation. What is it, how do I check it, how do I give it? Does it have something to do the colored circle after your nickname (should I be scared that mine is red?). Bah, so lost. Where's the manual??? :hammer:

Its the scales in the upper right corner of the post. Adds to the reputation of the user or detracts from it.

1. You've got 1 star, and a green cube (so reputation is good)
2. Put your mouse pointer over the icons and a small box pops up...
3. If you put your pointer over (i think it's a tree) you can give rep. points to someone, if you would do that with your own, you can see the number of point you've got OR you can go to User CP and see how many points you've got...

Hope this helps.. (a bit)

Good advice above...if you have your avatar set to the left the scale (not a tree, sorry corrus) should be at the bottom next to that red circle...click on it and give or take reputation points. That red circle means you are using the hidden mode...nobody else knows you are online.

Don't worry about looking dumb...we all do every now & again, but if you don't ask the question you'll never find the answer. :wave:

A scale??

Didn't know... It must be a combination of 2 things...

A very high resolution laptop and my eyes... NeverTheLess, I'm not complaining

That helps a lot. I hadn't realized the mouseover feedback. Also thanks to the person that gave me reputation for this post - it really helped me see how this thing works in action! What type of post do you all tend to give reputation for?

Well written, informative, well thought out, funny, sensitive or a mixture of the above for good reputation... well that's what I judge by.
