    My personal preference: fix everything else first, then worry about the rep system. I would far rather be able to post properly and reliably.
    Good luck.

    Re: Shades of grey

    I'm thinking its time to turn the reps off
    or set a limit of one point max
    But Roy can reward for extra effort or exceptional code and bouns points for exceptional function solutions.

    Re: Shades of grey

    The number of posts a new user needs to be able to give rep was 10, I've reset it to 1.

    I doubt this has been changed by the upgrade because I have received grey icons in the past. I do think the upgrade may have affected rep - I seem to have lost alot of rep points.

    The system may need rebuilding but I can't do that
    Hope that helps.

    Or else you expect when the guru and moderators of the Forum will make a question, and will like us to give some reb*! Have you ever seen this???

    Re: Shades of grey

    @OnErrorGoto0: I was just suggesting fixing the rep system because it should be simple to do, get out of the way, and make a lot of people happy.

    I do, however, accept that there are other things that are broken that could do with some tlc.

    Agreed, but then the upgrade should have been relatively straightforward to do, get out of the way and make people happy, and yet...

    I would far rather they put all their efforts towards a stable, functioning forum, and then worried about the 'bells and whistles' - especially as it seems to be taxing them somewhat. It is, of course, not my place to direct them though.
    Good luck.

    Vai has been overwhelmed with the response from Americans for free therapy. They have and floated a new derivative scheme for a zillion billion dollars financed by the Chinese and OPEC countries and they can now afford two stars ä ä

    Re: Shades of grey

    pike, somehow I have a feeling that the big, friendly, yellow symbols you've included in your latest posts don't show up as intended. For example, in the previous post, I see just two big letters "ä ä" -- as in a letter "a" with two dots on top. Is that what you wanted to show? If so, I don't get the joke. If not, then you may be posting symbols with a font that is not available on everybody's computer. You may want to use images instead to make sure everybody sees what you want them to see.

    cheers,
