Rep points

Hey everyone,

I was in my user CP and noticed some of you have given me positive rep points, THANKS! But my question is, what are they and how do you give them? I searched FAQ and the forum in general didn't come up with anything. What am I missing? Closest I got was 'rate a thread'.

Thanks! I tried clicking on everthing inside the box, but not on the frame.

It's right beside the post number in the frame. ^

You can also give a reason why. You can also report a bad post using the red yield sign with the exclamation.

I hope this helps.

One more piece of info. The little green squares next to your post count is called reputation. If you have allot of rep points given to you, then little green squares suddenly appear next to your post count.
It's a nice thing to give reputation points to folks on the forums, if they make helpfull, humorous, and/or just darned good posts.
