Hi Peach. Its a system whereby you can add or reduce someones 'reputation'. If you find someones reply particuarly helpful or particuarly bad, you can add or remove 10points from their score. To do this, click the 'weighing scales' at the top right of the post box. It will flash up a window where you choose to add or reduce, and then you give a reason for your decision.

It's a feature which is particuarly helpful to forums where there is an easy differencial between great and poor advice, so it shows future users if the person replying is a good contributor or a bad contributor.

Obviously with NMP, reponses to posts are offered on so many different levels so its not as clear-cut, and as a result, the 'reputation' feature doesnt get used quite so much.

Hope this helps

Ross

The #1 means you have the first post in the thread. This number increases with each new post.
