If you go to your CP Control Panel you can see your reps left for you:) I will leave you one now.

Thank you! Thank you! Can I also ask you - "What does the SCORCHING mean under your user name"?

It has to do with your post count. People at certain post counts will get a change in title. And then for some, we do custom titles just to show appreciation.

I've always wondered. What exactly is the benefit out of these rep points & referral points? Not that it really matters, but do we get prizes? Or is it just the fame of having a high score? Just Curious

Thanks in advance!


P.S. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

More than anything it's a nice way to communicate to someone that you appreciate their posts. They aren't worth anything beyond that.

That's what I thought, but was just curious. Thanks for the SUPER FAST response! I really appreciate it. :)

When you post something helpful or nice, people generally contribute to your "reputation" by clicking on the "scales" located at the bottom of the orange box on the left side of a post. You can click agree/disagree and send a note to the person, like "thanks for the tip" or something. You can leave positive or negative feedback for the person who wrote the post.

It is generally considered polite etiquette to "rep" someone for being helpful.

HTH! And welcome to the board!

Hey! Good question! A "rep" is like saying "good job" or "i like what you said" you can rep someone by clicking the little scales on the post and leaving a comment.
