********* Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I just wanted to see what my signature looks like when I post. I guess I need to get an avatar, too. :001_smile: Also, I've read a bunch of stuff about the rep, and it still is a bit confusing. So I can't rep someone until I have 50 posts? And what does it look like/where can I find if someone reps me? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genie Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 You can rep someone by clicking on the scales in the upper right corner of their post. But until you have 50 posts, your rep won't have any point value. Make sure to leave a comment and your username when you rep, because otherwise it will be anonymous. To see if someone has repped you, click on User Control Panel (CP) on the blueish bar near the top. You will see the last five reps that you have received there.

genie Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I was here for months before I got my first rep. You're off to a good start! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I had no idea genie was over here helping so much! I didn't know I was following in her great footsteps in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, your rep will count. to hive mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 I thought I just read recently that the amount of rep you had to have before you could give it went up. It's still all VERY confusing... However, I am sure giving rep MUST be fun, since it's so fun to get. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little comments you leave when you give rep are worth far more than the rep points you give anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 Ok, so I think I get it... You have to have 50 posts for your rep to someone gives them rep points. But then, what determines what your rep is worth? Is it the number of posts you have, or the amount of rep you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, what determines what your rep is worth? Is it the number of posts you have, or the amount of rep you have? Yes! That is where the rules have changed. You now need 500 posts for your rep power to increase by one point. I forget how many rep points you need for your rep power to increase in that way. Lolly (or anyone else out there,) do you know how many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
