    I've just noticed that the rep button next to everyone's profile is gone. I can't view my reps also!
    What happened?

    The whole idea was to get people to use them, but that system just didn't seem to get the effect we wanted.

    I liked the shop idea, not sure if anyone else did, but the idea of buying stuff to modify text/names etc etc really appealed to me.

    ok, I should have it installed by tomorrow!

    Its simple, if you find a post helpful you click on a button. Under the userinfo you can see how many useful posts a member has made.

    It looks a little silly for you guys to have 1000+ posts and 0 or 1 helpful posts...maybe you should let the guys offer up what they feel is a reasonable number of helpful/useful posts they made and leave it others to question or suggest a more appropriate number...

    regulars only...everyone else 0...

    My opinion...and if I don't mention you sorry...I believe I'm fairly impartial so these are my suggestions...

    Sniper....90%=2517HP...
    Big B......90%
    Procal....80%
    Anti-Trend...80%
    Harrack....80%
    syngod...80%
    Waffle...70%
    Ninja.....70%
    Addis.....70%
    Dave35...70%
    Exfoliate...70%
    everyone else 0...I might have missed some of the new guys...sorry 01bolandn...but I excluded myself as well...because at most I'd give us 10-15%...no offense was intended...!

    good points! got me thinking about the points system a bit more.

    hmmm, I just realised its not useful posts but rather number of "times he/she has been helpful". So a user can be helpful to 20 members is one post.

    Wow i have 2 already :D

    Do you think it would be possible to set up a system where like the top ten most helpful people are displayed on a thread/pop up window etc, thats live updating?

    Sounds complicated just thinking about it, so the code would be an absolute biatch, but its probably possible?!

    Would take quite a bit of work to me. A new page could be created for the job but I'm sure Sniper's busy.

    Sweet idea! Not that I've been helpfull apparently but it should encourage a little friendly competition of "Ah, unanswered thread! I'll answer it first so I can get the most helpful posts!" I thought I could do that with a thead about vga cards but ninja and then BB beat me to it.
    "Exfoliate...70%" thanks Egaladeist, I would highly doubt that but no complaints m8!

    I'll look into that waffle but not yet. Don't worry about times helpful dude, its a new feature so it will take time, I have "0" is well.
