Sorry to say, the reputation system has been removed. The developer has not updated the code in quite a while and with a new iteration of the forum software on its way, I thought it best to remove it now.

There will be something taking its place in the form of a like button.

So, like, what does the like button do? I haven't seen a single post that says anyone else liked it, I only wee when I liked a post. Am I missing something? Or is no one really using the feature?

The like button is an experiment. The developer who created it needs to move it under the post, not the name of the poster.

He is telling me he cannot do it which makes me wonder how good of a developer he really is. I don't have the time to fix it the way I would like so I am hoping he eventually sees the light :)

it should tally up all the likes for a certain post however.

Okay, someone else liked your top one and now it says "you and someone else like this post". I guess its just not being used very often.

I think it is just lack of use. Or perhaps everyone just hates what I say, lol!

I only just noticed the LIKE button the other day! Yeah it could be doing with a different location as you tend to think of the block to the left of the post as being info about the poster, you dont often read all that is there.

It's in a bad location and on top of that I think the developer is abandoning that plugin so it will most likely disappear.

I think the like button is suffice personally but it needs to be a bit more prominently displayed.
If you do have it as before, at least reset the scores regularly or newbies will never catch up.

Gave me a god-complex, and I couldn't afford a shrink to cure it.

Please dont ban me. ;)

The screaming fans weren't too bad, but I knew tallyhomania had gone to your head when you claimed to be bigger than cheeses.

It is not a feature that I am going to miss very much.
