Rep Power-Huh?

**write2thepoint** · #1 August 8th, 2008, 09:49 AM

I know it is probably a stupid question, but can someone tell me what those green bars that say Rep Power above them mean? When I hovered my mouse near one of the bars, it had a nice phrase near it, but how did it get there and how come I have more bars now than I did last week?
Thanks for your help for a confused newbie!

Karen, those green bars are an indicator that represents "kudos", if you will. These are points that someone can award to you when you make a helpful comment or do something that is worthy of being rewarded (i.e. joining a Challenge - By the way, there is still time to join in on the August Challenges).

To find out how and when you earned your Rep Points, look at the top of this page and you will see "User CP". This is your User Control Panel. Click it and there you will see the latest threads you participated in, options to edit your personal page and, at the bottom, there is a listing of who granted Rep Points to you.

I hope this helps!

Thanks Jimmie and Minofex1! You guys are a great help--I appreciated your solving the mystery for me!

btw, some and most of the technical stuff you might need answers to can be found by clicking on the FAQ tab at the top of the page. it's found in the purpleish tool bar under the ADBB logo

Thanks Jimmie, I was actually stumbling around the site for a bit looking at the tech folders--but didn't think to look at the faq page. There is really a ton of info on this bulletin board! I could spend a month on it and still find new material

karen, i've been here over 4 years and i'm STILL finding things. LOL

I can certainly believe it!

I'm really glad you asked that question actually. I had no idea what they were for. And even more, had no idea that you could give kudos like that. Had to go and check mine out. haha
