Hi All,
The big green guy here, just wanted to let you all know that we now have the reputation system in place, the reputation system allows you to give a visible pat on the back to those that have helped you or whose information has been helpful.

You will see an icon in every post (Light Blue scales), click this to give the reputation point to whom you think deserves it, a green square appears for a reputation with more and more adding over time.Pretty soon you will see a string of green squares appear in the top right of your posts as your reputation grows and your forum presence!

Good Luck!
The Hulkster!

Bar graph offset
i have seen variations of this question on but i am curious about my particular graph.

i have a bar graph which graphs percentage values. Some are positive and some are negative. Because some of the data is negative, the data labels are "encroaching" on to the graph (even at maximum offset, i.e. 1000).

I need them not to.

I know you can adjust the "Category X Crosses Axis at" value to move the data labels off the chart graphic, but this changes the view of the negative percentages. Previously, the negative values "grew" downward from 0%, where as adjusting the axis makes them grow upward from say -.15%.

I need the negatives to grow downward AND have the data labels off the chart.

Any thoughts???

Thanks for looking,
Greg
