What is "Rep Power"?

[staziaw]

I noticed, on my little "profile" on my posts, on the upper right hand side it says "rep power" 0. What's rep power and how do I get me some of that?!?!

Thanks!

The longer you are a here, the more posts you make and the more times people give you a "rep". Click on icon that looks like a pair of scales just above where you can see your number of rep points.

There is a multitude of ways.

As Rich said, your 'rep power' is built up by contributing to the discussions by making posts and by others giving you points (like brownie points I suppose) for what you say or how you support others by your posts.
All members can give 'rep points' to others who have made a particularly insightful or helpful post. Just click on the little scales to the right of the bar above anyones post and do it!! You can add a comment if you want to let that person know your reason for thanking them for making the post.
