Green Dots..

[tomtom]

ok so what are these green dots at the top of our posts?
have they always been there? im pretty sure they are new? what do they symbolise?

The one on the right (square) shows your rep, the one on the left (round)shows people whether you're on line on not.

Hiya,

Do you mean the ones next to your user name or the squarish ones on the right of the post under your location?

The one next to your user name is green if you are online. The other one is some sort of rating. How it works, I don't know :?:

[tomtom]

yeh the online/offline one isnt new..

i ment the one under the location.. whats "rep"?

[shinobi]

I've noticed that there is a set of silver scales on the top right of the post. If you hover your mouse over it, it says that you can add to a persons reputation.

I guess, if you like someones post, you can click on it and give them good rep. Not sure what you get though :?: Maybe some badges at a certain point):

[tomtom]

i only have scales on posts made by my self.. huumm.. :?:

[shinobi]

I wonder if that is something to do with membership status?

It would be interesting to hear what other people see on their posts !!

[tomtom]

what happens when you click on it, Shinobi.. as a gold member??

[tenbears10]

Yeah Tom I have scales on everyones posts so I must be able to add to everyones rep. What's it worth then? :wink: Only joking Mods please don't kill me.

I think British Blades use it like a mini ebay feedback so when you buy from someone you can add to their rep, good or bad. Not 100% what we do here.

[jakunen]

I can see scales on your post, maybe you can only see them if you're a paid up member?:?:

[tomtom]

[NickBristol]

I'm not a gold member but i can see the scales... I'm too chicken to press them tho in case a mod gets me :rolmao:

[Tantalus]

[JakeR]

How are you meant to know what rating you have, i don't have any numbers like on BB :?:

[Adi007]

You should have scales now Tant - an oversight on my part due to trying to do too many things at once.

Thanks for bringing it up! :biggthump

[JakeR]

You havent got a green dot Adi! How do we know how much our rep/others rep is?

[Tantalus]

Tant

[tomtom]

thanks Adi

[hootchi]

iv got both dots round and square and the scales are above all post by everyone. I think numbers may come up next to it if someone adds to reputation. its like that on british blades but a ten appears at the start as a basic number of rep.?? I dont understand really. We need a moderator!!

[Kath]

The more dots the higher the reputation. You can see your reputation in the User Control Panel.

:biggthump

[TheViking]

Kath, what does it mean when the square dot in the user control panel is red?

[Kath]

Looks like it's green now...

[hootchi]

I cant even find my green squarey dotty thing in the user cp?

[JakeR]

How do we see each others reps?

[Kath]

How do we see each others reps?

You can't, sorry. :?:

[JakeR]

Will we ever be able to?
