Just found the "reputation" icon!

[Kentuckienne]

Have you ever wanted to appreciate a particularly excellent post, but all you can do is say "thanks" which doesn't begin to express your feelings? If you look at the upper right of a post there are some little icons. The rightmost one is to report a post, say it's especially evil or otherwise needs flagged. The next ico to the left of that...to my eye it looks like a stack of laboratory balances...you click that, and you can add a reputation comment. I never noticed it before. Sorry for all the reputations I didn't give out!

The "Reputation" icon is a neat tool that has been quietly sitting for a very long time! I like the concept, but believe that the definitions need a major up-grade to really make it useful!

At present, three stars is 'average!' So, does three Stars really add to someones reputation? Its like "Hey, look here - its an average Thread /Post!" So, how does that add to one's reputation?

It would seem to me that a single Star should be some place over 'average' and grow in value as each additional Star is added.

What do you think?

I don't see anything about stars...just a place for a comment. You got stars?

first posts on a thread have stars you can rate it for

Definitely a great tool to add something more than a "thanks," but it is somewhat cumbersome to read your rep. Other forums have different presentations that makes reading your "rep" easier.

It is always nice when someone gives you rep but a little frustrating not to be able to acknowledge or thank the sender who is anonymous?

I thought the star ratings and rep are different tools?

The most recent reputations are on the User CP page below subscribed threads. But you don't get a message about it, just have to check now and then.

That is why it is cumbersome and not used to full potential. Another forum I frequent has a drop-down notification and link to the "rep" page. Just one click to access and read, back-space to return to previous.

Thank you for the heads up I had no idea that this existed.
