I read a post about losing a rep point, so I played around a bit with the different symbols on my posts, and discovered a statement that I have 13 rep points, but I have no idea how I got them, what they stand for, whether they are good or bad or indifferent . . . I am clueless! When I clicked on the scale for one post, it did bring up two comments by two different people and they were good comments for which I am thankful!

Thanks for any help - I guess you can tell I'm new to this board, but I have so enjoyed it! I've been encouraged, challenged, helped, had my funny bone tickled, and wept and grieved and prayed for those going through difficult times . . .

Hi,

Go up to the reputation sticky thread in the How To Forum and it will 'splain everything! :)

Welcome to the boards by the way!

The amount of rep points get you more squares, the more squares you have is kind of how well you are liked/or maybe how good your comments are, etc.
Everyone starts out with something like 12 or so and then when you get to 100 you get two green squares below your name, and each 100 positive reps you get another green square.

Heather explains it very well here http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13275 and Genie has a post explaining it very well too!

I left you a positive rep, so when you check your rep points you will see a little message from mom2girlstx and you will see your rep points went up by one. I can only give you one because I only have one green square, but if I had two green squares, you would have gotten 2 points.

You will enjoy it here! Welcome!

Thank you for explaining - and Thank you Mom2GirlsTX for the rep point! I appreciate it! I also read the article you linked for me - it makes more sense now.
