This means that user can see what rating you give to their posts!

Does that mean that people can see which member commented on their thread? I think that Sharkû posted on the Questions thread that the system was not anonymous, but I can't find any indication of who has made the comments in the Reputation Box in my User CP.

For those who haven't discovered it, you can check out who's who in the Reputation stakes by going to the Member List and clicking on "Reputation" so as to order the list by Reputation. (Of course, I wouldn't have pointed that out if I hadn't been lying in fifth place.

It turns out that ratings are anonymous, except for Admins. Only the Barrow knows...

The little green icon doesn't work for me. Will it only work with certain browsers? I have Safari 1.0. It seems to work fine in Internet Explorer 5.2.

The little green icon doesn't do anything. Click the scale icon to give reuptation ratings.

The little green icon's not supposed to do anything? I thought if you hovered your mouse over it, it was supposed to to the little pop-up thingy with people's reputation phrases. That's what I'm asking about.

Ah, sorry... the icon does have hover text. That's true. Maybe it's something in your settings. All of those icon have ALT text, and perphas your browser has an option to turn those on or off?

I suppose the thing I don't get is the points scale. I am told I have 17 points and I have two entries in my reputations area in User CP, but I do not know how many points are allotted to each, nor how to control the number of points given when rating another user's post. Perhaps there is a default number that is entered when you choose to approve or disapprove? And I am supposing this point count is cumulative? I am a little unclear on how many points equal "approval" and how many equal "disapproval" and how to tell on individual entries how many points go with them. It also tells me I have started on the path to adventure, but some have "username is getting the hang of it." I guess these users have more points than I do. I suppose I'll "get the hang of it" eventually!

Cheers!
