I Have a Dumb Question

Dogmom07 · 03-23-2008, 08:11 PM

I cannot seem to find a fact page, what do they icons mean under your number of posts?

Where can I find the facts page, not the introduction explaining rules, but additional information pertaining to posts, status, rep point, etc.

Thank you! I hope it is not too obvious and I have overlooked it

I'm not sure how much I can help you, but I'll try...

I don't know what a fact page is. But you can review your rep points in your user CP, however, that system isn't used around here. It's mostly for the added entertainment value.

I don't recall what icons you have but the green or red ball simply tells you if the member is on or off line. The white scale is to give reputation. The red and white triangle is to report a problem post.

Information regarding posts or status I'm not sure if those items are active here.

What does the little AOL man mean under your posts? I see a Y, for Yahoo I assume? Why are they there?

Those indicate what type of IM service each member may have or use.

That's what I thought, thanks

I think the reputation is rather odd. Other forums use it all the time, while this one cares none what so ever about it. I like it, no one going obsessive over internet points.

I just discovered this "reputation" feature today. I went to my User CP, and can't find anywhere that lists it!

Like OP, am I overlooking it?

Maybe by fact page, you meant faq?

It's not linked anywhere for some reason, but knowing the software, I knew where to find it.

There's no link because we like to be able to make stuff up as we go along.

If there is nothing in your user control panel about reputation points, it means nobody has had anything good or anything bad to say about your posts so far.

I would say that no news is good news.

Haha! I agree.

Thanks!
