"Your meddling with the primal forces of nature Mr Beale" Don't know if you know what I'm talking about, there's a number above your post count, its your "reputation". What that be? Compared to what?

Moderators Youthman Posted August 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 4, 2016 I'm guessing it increases as people hit the "Like this" on your posts? Or maybe it's simply tied to post count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted August 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted August 4, 2016 I see there is a "Vote this Answer Up or Down" on the left side of a post. This is new as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just semi-arbitrary points that you can accumulate as people like your posts. It's a way for newbies to determine how "reputable" forum veterans are when they post what they post. You may notice the "Popular Contributors" widget in the right sidebar on topic lists & the forum homepage (on desktop) - these are like "reputation stats". 3 hours ago, Youthman said: I'm guessing it increases as people hit the "Like this" on your posts? Yes. This is as it's always been.

I'm not sure it's a good fit here though. Will probably revert it to a normal forum area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chad, So if my "reputation" is 1,000 it doesn't mean I have the 1,000th best ( or worst) reputations among all the forum members? So the higher the number the more reputable you are? I was thinking the most reputable would be #1, then the second #2 etc...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
