REPUTATION

[fire in the hole]

I just noticed that posters are given a "reputation" number/evaluation. I kinda assume the more posts you make, the higher your number. But I also see 2 posters with simular post contributions, but the reputation numbers are way different. So???? Can someone explain the reputaion to me.

Thanks.............gary

Here's Jeff's explanation:

This is a feature that we used to have on vBulletin and many of you really liked it. Well now, we have the thumbs up icon which allows someone to give you a thumbs up but it just isn't quantitative. This release will take it a step further to allow you to leave a comment when you give a thumbs up.

On your user profile page, each member will be able to see all of your thumbs up comments and a quantity of thumbs up you have received.

We are also working on quantifying that number into a score that will possibly appear in your postbit (the area at the top of each post that contains your location, when you joined, how many posts you have, etc.) or at the very least in your user profile page.

So anyway, I think that will make many of you very happy.

I changed the name to points. Most people relate to that term better. Make sure to use the thumbs up on peoples post to give them points for a job well done.

That is good information to have. Thank you!

I must confess that I have been remiss in not using the "thumb". I shall try to correct that in future.
