What does the reputation thing mean?

And how do you change people's points now? I think that changed cause I can't figure out how to do it anymore.

In each posts, if the feature is activated, small buttons to rate the post will be apparent. Each positive or negative rate can make you win or lose reputation points. I clicked the + next to your post and it made you gain a point and put a little green bar. I'm not sure where the point thing went..

lol, I just changed points to cool points because it sounded ..cooler.

But there are points, which are illustrated by the little bar and that I can no longer figure out how to change, and then cool points, and reputation. So, do the little arrows change cool points, points, or reputation?

I don't get it. Sad

I think I'm failing the IQ test.

Yeah I'm a little confused as to why you can't give or take away points now. I'm trying to get rid of the bar thing, but it won't let me. This is why updates can suck, but I'll figure it out.

Okay Justin and I figured out that our birthdays are a day behind in our profiles. Like, if I put June 26th in, it will display the 25th on my profile! Weird.

Okay Cool Points, this is what generates how many you have.

How are points calculated?
- Points generated by the number of posts
- Points generated by the number of topics created
- Points generated by the number of friends that the user has
- Reputation points
- Points generated by the registration date of the member
- Points generated by the number of message on his profile

Reputation is is generated by any of your posts being 'thanked' and people clicking the plus and minus by the right side of your post.

It's just a silly system, but whatever, it's something to do I guess. New things are always nice. Hope that all made sense.
