Is it possible to see who rated your post and what they said when they rated it (There's a comment box)?

A: There's a difference between "ratings" and "reputation". Ratings assign one to five stars to the whole thread. Your rating is averaged with other people's to come up with one that's displayed for all users. There are no comments assigned to ratings.

Reputation is given on a per-post basis, and can be either positive or negative, and includes a comment. Reputation comments can be seen by going to your User CP, at the bottom of the page under "Latest Reputation Received".

(this feature was disabled for regular users until just recently).

Sorry, that's what I had meant.

Question: How do you multi-Quote?

Other people than you were allowed to answer these, right? (<- I don't want to look like an asshole for answering some questions a few pages ago.)

Rephrased slightly for the FAQ:

Q: Is there an easy way to quote more than one post?
A: Yes. Click on the "+ button at the lower-right of each post that you want to quote (next to the Quote button). Then hit the Post Reply button at the bottom or top of the page, and all of the messages will be quoted in your reply.

If you need to quote posts that aren't on the same page, you can click on the next / previous page buttons to go to the other page after selecting posts on the current page, then select more posts to quote. All posts selected on all pages will be quoted when you reply.

Sure -- the more people helping, the better!

Q: Can the banner resolution be higher so that the banner doesn't seem so left sided?

**Ace** · 11-20-2007

A: I don't have the original source file for the banner, so if I made it larger, its quality (resolution) would go down, making it look bad. Hopefully the currently in-progress banner contest will deliver something great, and we'll be able to use that instead of the current image, which is only meant as a place-holder.

I'm also hoping to add some new skins soon, which will throw yet another twist into the banner issue.

Q: What does the small green dot mean on the right side of most people's posts?

A: The green dot means that person has between 1 and 99 reputation points. Another dot is added for each started 100 points, then after 500 points are earned, a bright green dot is shown for every started 200 points.

Since reputation points can also be taken away, they can be negative too. One red dot is shown for each started 100 negative points, then after 500 negative, a bright red dot is shown for every 200 negative points.

If a user has zero points, a gray dot is shown. If a user has the ability to turn off reputation in their User CP, and has chosen to do so, a black dot is displayed.

Is there any way for me to see more than just the last rep I recieved? Because for what little points I've got(14), I'd like to know who exactly gave them for which post and why. If there isn't, is it too much to ask for you to make one? A reply would be much appreciated.

A: Everyone starts with 10 points.

The system will show you the last 5 reps you receive, not just the last one.

~~KuroiKenshi~~ · 11-22-2007

Well, mine only shows the last one I've got, for some reason. How many points do you get for each rep you receive?

The person's rep power determines how many points on receives from a +Rep. If Ace were to +Rep you, you would get 10 points. If you were to +rep some they would get...Eh, well 0 points.

~~KuroiKenshi~~ · 11-22-2007

Oh, I thought you get one point per person originally, which explains why I only had one rep received, but I've got another question. How do you get rep power? Does it depend on the number of posts you made, or is it entirely different?

**Amerowolf** · 11-22-2007

By posting. It goes up every certain number of posts.

~~KuroiKenshi~~ · 11-22-2007

Oh, okay. I thought it was kind of odd, how SS2 Vegeto had like twice the number of posts that you have, yet he's only got 3 more rep points, etc., but I guess it has its own unique system that makes it that way, lol. (Though I'd have like, 7 more rep points if I got the accounts merged)
