Re: What happened to the reputation...?

What exactly is a reputation on here? I've only been here for a month and I've received reputation comments but I don't know what they are for.

Where the star below the posters name, avatar, join date, location and post amount is has Helpful/Unhelpful.

Now when you click that star you select helpful or unhelpful and select from a list the reason for "marking" the post. The user sees that he/she recieved a helpful or unhelpful marking and what post it was for.

Before you could leave a comment as the reason for electing a post as helpful or unhelpful.

Also before this would give you a point or negative point. An accumlation of the points would at certain levels put your "reputation" under your name. So under some User Names it would say "Helpful" and some "Unhelpful". Thus being tagged as such a kind of poster, with your reputation diplayed to everyone else.

There is a whole wealth of information on this subject, if you click on the FAQ on the top of the page, and read the sections on Reputation.
