what is this rep power icon at the top of the page?
and i still cannot post pics or smileys cause nothing on the tool bar above works. nor does the side bar with the smileys.
man this really blows i love this place just wish i could get it to work for me : )
yea carm what is rep power and why is yours so high? are you post whoring again?
You need a new computer :D
The reputation power thing is an option I saw in the admin control panel and turned it on. Don't know what it does, but I've seen it on other boards so it must be good, right?
Apparently you can give users reputation points based on their posts. If you have an opinion on a user's post, click on the scale icon above your location, post count, etc and leave a positive or negative.
I'ma gonna change the title of your topic so others will see the rep power thing. Then I'm gonna sit back and watch the games once people start using it :D
Mine is 10 because I'm an administrator, and that's where administrators start. Eric's should be the same number. You also get rep points as your post count goes up, but not many - something like one point for every 1000 posts, that's why some have a rep of 2 or 3 already
Try hitting "Go advanced" under the post box. When you do so it brings up a larger menu above the post box as well as other options. Click on the paper clip icon and you SHOULD be able to post a pic. It shows the maximum sizes for the type of file you can add as well.
yeah ive used this format other places but it is like it is turned off here nothing will click smileys dont move etc. dunno whats wrong i have tried every thing on my end . maybe the new format hates me : (
man it is frustrating i loved the old picture format and it worked for me as did the smileys
it isn't 6 mnths old : )
if i click on the scale mine is 10 but shows 1 on the rep power graph
I just made some tweaks to the rep power system. You now get one point for every 100 posts, in addition to any points other users give you. That's why a lot of your rep points have gone up within the past few minutes.
Now to figure out why changes I make to the system don't seem to affect Administrators...
I should cherish this moment.. 'cause I have a higher rep than Carmen as of the time of this post. :p
With one click I could take that away :D
But I won't. I'll let you guys fight over that stuff among yourselves. The strange thinig is that even though I have 3200 posts and started out with 10 points, when I made the change in the control panel to give a point for every 100 posts it affected everyone but Eric and I. And yet, if I click on my own scale it shows that I have 42 points (which is about right - the 10 I started with plus 32 points for 3200 posts).
And still, I have no idea what reputation points are good for anyway, except for stroking one's ego...
It's about as useful as the star voting system for threads.. which means, not very. Especially around here. Some boards have more threads starred than not, and some boards seem obsessed with user ratings.. but this place hardly uses that stuff. I kinda like it that way.. and not just because I'm an obnoxious asshole. :p
so you just make posts and it goes up?
Guess I have a pretty poor reputation. lol, I Mus pSot two mutchh centsliSs stuf lol
too funny:rollin: :rollin:
And with this clown in the part prices thread, we already have our first red reputation indicator. it, someone beat me to it. :p
And I just added point to you so your even further from that goal:giggle:
so whats the little green bar under the rep power?
green means good, red means bad. black is i'm guessing for admins
Black means the person has "Display reputation" turned off in their own control panel
Hmmm... I didn't see it when I was there. Maybe I'll have another look.
And if you hold your mouse over it, you get a little blurb.
ugghhh why am i the only one who has a problem : (
we all have problems.....:flip:
it is now magicly working now yaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh
:flame:
isn't life more fun that way? Asks the unemployed divorced broken down car guy.:D
Is that mean that under a certain Reputation you dont deserve respect? And does a too high Rep mean you are a poser?
:giggle:
why is yours a 9 if you onlt have 7XX posts?
You can add to someone's Rep and it increase it irregardless of post count.
Rep means nothing, esp. since I have a higher rep than half the people here. :p
(BTW, since we're talking about the board: Could we increase the title under our board names about 10 characters? Please?)
You're so amazingly right I think I'll add to your Rep Power right now!
