Rep Count Not Visible

[Nanci]

And people are noticing! Is this a modification, Rich, or something that happened unintentionally?

 

[Susan]

Between you and Robbie, I think you over-loaded the system. :sidestep:

 

[wade]

If you put it back Rich, reset everyone to zero. It took us years to get this far, lets start over.

 

[wade]

Just had another idea, lets start over on the demerits too. :grin01:

Wade, it doesn't matter if the numbers show zero, your reputation precedes you

:cheers:

 

[wade]

That's good right?

 

[dionythicus]

I've earned my points, I don't want it back to 0.

The points may be gone, but everyone is still in the same order.... On the member by rep. ????

I did not realize there was an order until you mentioned it and I went to look. Wade, it looks like you are on top


Seriously, not knowing there was such an order, the people I find here who seem to have wisdom and a way with words are sure enough there on the list.

Yes you can list members in all sorts of orders....
Set the member count to 50 and Susan features on all three boards... Longest here, most posts, highest rep count...
The strange thing is, there are some members that joined before Susan.... Log in everyday/week, and never post.....

 

[wade]

I don't mind being on top but I like to be on the bottom sometimes. I think it would be interesting to see if Rich could reverse the order.

Sorry, but what I disabled was the display of the reputation POWER factor, not the actual value of the reputation points. Nothing was changed concerning the values, that one just isn't being displayed any longer. This produces some processing overhead that I wanted to reduce a bit. I also disabled that "age" display as well for the same reason. I think many people disabled that in their profile anyway.

Yeah, I do need to do something about the reputation points as the numbers are probably WAY more than the designers had expected. Not sure if there is a point reached where the system will crash, but quite honestly once the numbers get that big, they become pretty meaningless as there is no ruler long enough to measure up against anyone else.

Sorry, I should have said something, but I was checking into something else and stumbled on the setting and decided what the heck.... So of course, I promptly forgot about it once I found what I was looking for... oke:

 

[wade]

Rich, can you just reset it to zero and let us start over? I like being able to acknowledge people for good posts.

Can I lie about my age now?

I swear, Lucille, you could make everything from hitlerian authoritarianism to presidential budget cuts somehow bearable. Keeper of peace, binder of wounds, extinguisher of conflagrations, balm for hurt minds...
Hmmm...age...was...'helpful' at times. The rare instances in which it was undisplayed, even...usually meant x ≤ 18. Usually.

You can still do the former (see User CP page), and opt to do the latter (see Your Profile page).

 

[wade]

Former, Latter, hitlerian authoritarianism, damnit man say what you mean.

 

[Rich Z]

Nothing I did will stop you from doing so....... (both questions...)

 

[bitsy]

I did find the age thing useful. I left it off my profile until I received a breathless PM from a younger contributor, asking whether I was "going to study snakes at high school". I had to point out that I was well past high school age. LOLz! (as I believe the young people say...).

As far as Rep Points go, I'd be happy to have them zeroed regularly if it saves juice? It does seem a good indicator for newcomers.

 

[Nanci]

I miss seeing people's ages, too. Too many steps to go find it.

 

[CrousesCorns]

I miss the ages too! What is the use in having the green bars if the rep count or # is gone that you associate with it? Just wondering and I don't mean that in a negative way.
