What are the new little green rectangles under all the usernames in the posts on the forum and how do they work? :confused:

looks like they are a reputation sign/warning??? in the page source they are listed as postbit_reputation.... so i guess they might work on the amount of posts u have and or the post likes or dislikes you have??
im sure a mod will be along soon to set things straight??? you will become famous soon enough, i wonder what u gotta do to become infamous...... maybe say hid foggies are a good idea

hover your mouse over the green box, a small caption will pop up under your mouse. Yours states "whitels1ss will become famous soon enough"

Still trying to figure out why mine says I have been well behaved, Be interesting to find out what all this is based on.

Yeah me too, hey I have a number of thanks on my profile and quite a large number of posts, but there are some people on here with less of each with more little green marks.
Hey it is only a bit of curiosity on my part, just wondered what it was for?

Hey at least I don't feel so dumb now for asking the question, I first posted it over an hour ago and
nobody has come up with an exact and correct answer yet.:lol:

What about those 'Car Eye Lashes'? that's got to be a red box for sure...

Well... I just checked Wonky's profile because I know he's a top forum contributor and he has one green box too, so perhaps it's something else?

in the old days we used to have a like/dislike option.
And some users very quickly disappeared into negative ratings. LOL
Thems were the days

Could you 'like' or 'dislike' your own posts like on other forums?

Q. If a user clicks on the little black star that is at the bottom of each post, and "adds to the peputation" of the poster, does the poster that is getting the "brownie points" see it in Notifications along with who gave it ?
Maybe someone who has got reputation added to already, can answer.

Sure did - no user info on who gave reputation adding . (your comment was there though)
I will return your rep add when I see a post of yours that I support (there has already been a few)
BTW the amount of points awarded (your click added 21 points) must work on post count?

seems like a bit of a gimmick to me?

Did I use 21 characters?

Just so long as people can't go liking themselves, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to have a rating on your post if it helped - there are some pretty good responses from people on this forum when compared to some others I visit.

Once notification was read ..... it disappeared and is not in "Like and Dislikes" either.
I was thinking points may be awarded on post count divided by 10 as that would work out right as I have just over 200 posts.

Some users won't find the extra time for gimmickery ....that is understandable .
But do you think it possible for those that get rapped up in point building that it might turn into a big contest on who can be the best 'Mr. Perfect-nice-guy' ?

I think we might be on the wrong track here, I have well over 2,000 posts, planetdavo and Wonky
have heaps more than me and we all only have one green rectangle each still don't know what they are:lol:

You all should feel a bit silly for not checking the FAQ first ..

Thanks Sidewindr, hey I went through the FAQ's before I started this thread, don't know how I missed it.:doh:

Edit...I just clicked the like button on your post, so, if you are lucky you might get another star.:idea:

That part of the FAQ is the standard FAQ that comes with the forum software. So that portion of the FAQ has been there ever since the Reputation feature was available in the software, it has only recently been activated as people are noticing.

A little unrelated ... but does anyone know if it's possible to "hover" with an iPad?

Didn't we try the whole rep thing about 5 years ago ? Didn't last long from memory ... not sure why though ?

Yes we did but it was abused, there are far better flood controls on the feature now so let's give it another go :D
