Ooooh, a holiday! I could do with one of them... A beer might be easier to come by at the moment, alas.

BTW, I had a look at my User CP and saw an entry for reputation. It was a gray (not green or red) square, with no comment. Errr, what exactly does that signify?

That's weird because if you click the "rep" button you can only agree or disagree. So I guess it should be red or green, not gray. But I really don't know.
Does it say what thread its coming from? (see Rhisiart's example).
Maybe that could give us a clue.
Now you also confused me!

EDIT: I just checked my CP and I also have that square:

A question. How can I designate a reputation (+ve or -Ve) for anyone on this forum?

For example I would like to give BBloke a red square for having too many B's in his user name.

What do you mean with +ve or -ve?

If you give someone a bad reputation, that doesn't necessarily give them a red square though. At the moment this is only the case for those of us who just have 10 or less points. Some (Satcomer for example) have 2 or 3 dots so I don't think giving them a bad reputation once would automatically give them a red square.

If you want to give someone minus points for general (eg username) reasons I guess you would just have to find a post from that person, click rep and then state that reason. I don't think it must have to do with that post.

But again, I'm just guessing myself so you would have to ask Scott for specific answers.

Just shows how much I enjoy being part of this community when I actually care about these things.

Are you going away? Enjoy your holiday!

Thanks. Going camping with family members then going out to several microbreweries with some old friends.

If a user has 0 reputation points, a gray dot () is displayed.

Got that from Ferdinands excellent link to the VBulletin Forum a couple of pages back ...

I *think* that a user who doesn't have any points can't give rep points to another member, hence that grey/gray thingy .... ??

I read also that if you don't care to display your rep points you can turn them off and others will see a black thingy ... that sounds cool but I've never seen the options turned on to allow this in any user CP.

If a user has 0 reputation points, a gray dot () is displayed.

FWIW, I don't like that red thingy, it's so negative!

@ Satcomer,

Sounds like a well balanced holiday plan .... do the microbreweries have camping facilities?

Thanks Rhisiart... might just yet be able to join you for that banana beer.

I wasn't expecting that kinda detailed info... but some of the best things area created at the bar!
