Given the amount of people who are now giving excellent advice on the forums for new members and the more experienced members. I havent seen many people being given credit for their help....

If you want to give acknowlegment for someone helping you out then please add to their reputation on the forum...(you never know, you will be there one day also giving the advice)

To add to someone's reputation, you will click the

graphic at the bottom left hand corner of each post. When you click this cross you will be given the option to approve (add reputation) or disapprove (deduct reputation) the post that the member just made. It also gives you a chance to leave a comment.

Reputations come with rules. You only get a certain number of points each day, so use them only for the best postings and responses. Right now, this is 6 times per day that points can be given.

There is reputation POWER. Power is the number of points you give each time. This starts at 1 point, but increases based on a number of criteria such as posts, tenure, and your own reputation. When you give negative points, they are at half of your power level.

I encourage everyone to start using this system so the people in this forum that help others out and post quality info can stand out as excellent forum contributors.

Now that we're on the rep topic...What does it mean when someone gives you rep that is shown with a blue bar instead of green? Does it mean they disagree with what you said, or that they simply don't have the required posts/rep to make their + rep count?

Yeh i think its when someone reps u but they dont have any rep power so you dont get any points on your rep, if they have under 50 posts..
