You might have noticed the different Reputation icons around the forums? This isn't new, but it is more enhanced in the new IPB version.

You can start using rep by clicking the little plus icon in the lower right corner of each post. A comment box will open and you can type something nice for the member that posted it. Obversely, you can click the minus icon and leave a less than favorable message for the poster, but please do not abuse this. The results of your comments are visible to everyone. Only use neg rep when needed! Each rep you get raises or lowers your rep rating in your topic profile and in your profile page.

You can view the comments in your profile page, but you will have to visit the link back to see who left the comment for you. Your overall ratting is show in the topic profile every time you make a post.

There are also some rep stats included in the side box on the main forum index page.

Overall, this is just a fun feature and has no bearing on member status or anything. I still urge that you only use neg rep on someone that deserves it like Sgt Mack, for example! It is a good way to give someone a quick thank you for a good post, something that made you laugh or something that helped you with your project! Another tip is to add your user name to the comment so it is easier for the poster to see who left the comment for them! Example: "Great post! Thanks...Barry"

Hi Barry, this is another good idea however I lost 12 "reputations" with one of the board upgrades a couple of times ago. Are they lost forever?

Let me know how this sounds:

#1 +1 for everbody involved (points for participating)

#2 +1 for Barry for initiating it

#3 -1 for Barry for letiing Other Dog take it too far

#4 +1 for Other Dog for taking it too far

#5 +1 for Rob for restraining himself

#6 -1 for Rob for not participating as much as everyone else

#7 -1 for Other Dog for not including Rob (which caused Rob to lose a point)

The way I figure everyone is now up at least one point, but my math might be wrong. Does this seem fair, or am I over analyzing the situation?

Momma's momma said in the early days I'd just give her daughter a bad reputation; well, I never did. So now I'm just trying to earn my own........

Ok, so I missed HK Trucking reply, so that's a +1

Then another +1 for Rob

Hatcity also gets a +1

I think I'll need a calculator if this keeps up much longer

I...ummm...uhhh...sorry-can't help you with that.

All this love and thankfullness just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, (and maybe a lil damp) Im just so glad we can show so much brotherly love and cameradery, and to think we owe it all to those wonderful MACK trucks, and Barry and his innovative ideas. Hell Barry, you oughta start an online dating service! (or if Robs involved, maybe an escort service) Keep up the good work, Barry! iMACKuatelly yours, Rabbi Randy
