What is the little green reputation button on some profiles and how did it go from gray to green?

 

reputation button? that light next to the name shows if you're online or not

 

the reputation button is on the right side under your location, # of posts, etc. I was curious how it changed also - moderators, any ideas??

 

It's a points sytem where other members give you + points,(turns green), if they like your post or -,(turns red), if they don't. I haven't seen a lot of people on here use it though. Here's some point's so you know what I mean, it's the icon top right that looks like a scale.

 

Good to know! It says stuff when you put your mouse on the person...like "off the scale" or something like "on the road..." Be nicer if they just said the number of points.

 

I was under the impression that the "reputation" icon was an indication of how many posts the user made per day.

 

Now if that were true wouldn't some loser with 900 or more post have some rep.

 

Right, but we were transferred under the "old" system (pre-VB), so our reputation is crap already.

 

gnapoleone - I gave you an "I approve" on this post but it still didn't change the color of the icon. Who knows?!?!?

 

We're still pretty active and I have 0 rep points, they have a similar system on another forum I'm on. Here have some Rep points.

 

It takes some time,(to accumulate points to change), but it probably changed what his dot says.

 

Check your usercp and it'll tell you what the user who gave it to you said.
