I'm totally screwed.

So, can't sleep and I'm up tripping out over the new FTE format. Then I notice up the in right hand corner of posts there is a little balance. Clicking on it lets you make a comment and add or subtract from a users "reputation". I'm doomed! We used to have this feature some years ago. This should get real interesting...


(insert tech to make post 4x4 forum relevant)

Oh, and you should always change your fluids and re-grease after playing in deep water. Check your diff vents for cracked hoses while your at it

Holy crap!!! I'm sure this is a better format and more efficient . . . blah blah but the bottom just fell out of my world! I'm all confused and the smileys have changed.

What a way to start my day. Pro, I can't find the balance deal you're talking about but it doesn't sound like good news. They don't boot you off here if you have a bad rating do they? Okay, I'll quit typing so I can go find something else on the new format to complain about.

Worse yet, looks like most of the smileys don't work. Oh Ken, why do you torment me?!?

Its between the post # and the triangle "report post" thingy. I just clicked on it and "added to your reputation" but I actually have no clue how it really works...

We both need some coffee methinks.

Never engage 4x4 and do cookies on dry pavement

Ah, I see it now. I think it wasn't showing up because the forum logged me out for some reason. Wonder what the "Reputation" means. Maybe we get a cookie or something if enough people approve. Now that I'm logged back in there's all kinds of stuff showing up. Only thing I don't like about the new format is that it doesn't show the person's location. I liked knowing where people were from. May have to post that to Ken and see if I can stress him out even more.

Oh, and keep your thumbs out of the wheel when off-roading (that goes for the steering wheel too).
