To view the reputation of others you will see what are called "pips". Pips are small green or red boxes under a member join date on each thread. They look like

How do I view the reputation and comments left for my by other users?
To view the reputation that others have left for you as well as thier comments you will go to your
USERCP (User Control Panel)
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see a table entitled " Latest Reputation Received"
Here you will find up to 50 of the latest reputations given to you as well as a link to the thread that was repped, the date and time the reputation was left, who gave you reputation, and any additional comments the user has for you.
A green pip means that the reputation was positive and a red pip means that it was a negative.
What do the colors mean?
When reputation is given to a member you are given what is called a "pip". Pips can be one of three colors, the colors and corresponding meaning are as follows:
- Red - Negative, this usually means that someone disagrees or disapproves a post or comment.
- Green - Positive, someone has found this post good, informative, or just cool.
- Grey - Neutral, the person who gave this rep is too new or has low reputation power due to having few reputations themselves. The rep. still shows but does not count as a positive or negative towards the overall score.
Remember! - Reputation has
NO value, it is just a way for members to let other members know that a post was helpful, a way to say thanks for the information, or in some cases to let a member know that you thought thier post was bad, negative, or inappropriate.
