Help and Questions

A place to ask questions about anything on the forum.

Questions are to be answered by 'staff' members (moderators, global moderators and administrators) or retired 'staff' and will be answered as soon as possible.

Why is my rep so low. I mean I have posted a lot, yet I seem to have -1 rep.

Is someone disliking all my posts?

Where are the forum rules? Can't find them... 

We do more Terms at Registration, that you read and agree to, those are the rules, but I will put a global announcement out with them shortly.

Thanks for raising that up Charlie

good work Charlie!

Under the Statistics menu on the profile page there's two categories in the Reputation bit called "Thanks given" and "Thanks received" - How do these work?

I'm not the administrator so don't know for certain, although I think I could hazard a pretty good guess. I believe that 'thanks' and 'reputation' are pretty much the same thing, just named differently. For example, if you give a user post a 'rep', you'll be giving them a thanks. So your 'Thanks Recieved' and your rep should be the same, and the 'Thanks Given' would be how many times you've given someone + rep on their post.

I thinks that's what it is anyway, from my experience. Of course, it can be different on different forums- DarkWolf, would you be able to clarify?

There is a slight difference:

It is to do with the rep points you get for thanks or just rep, although I must say I am not 100% sure how to give thanks.

Basically if you press the + to the right of the post, it give that user 1 rep, if you gave them thanks it would give them 3 rep.

I must find out how to do that

How do I vote on forum poles?

Press your choice, and click vote

My problem was that I was stuck in the mobile version and pretty much you cant vote there.

Ah. The mobile version's rubbish, I just use the desktop version regardless of what device I'm on.

I didn't me to go to the mobile version the second time I went. The first time was because I thought that was the version I was supposed to use. The second time it loaded the mobile version all by itself.

Judges it on your browser

Thought so, thanks I needed that too

Dark wolf, it was set as my default version was the desktop version. It just I was using it one time Switched by itself.

That explains it then

I'm pretty sure that member is from 25 to 100. Then you're a great poster. I know that Junior member is from 10 to 25 and new members from 0 to 10 but dark wolf can help confirm the rest. Just like he said, he's checking.
