My Reputation is "Base"

[Ghianda]

The new green blocks at the bottom of the screen indicate that I have a "base reputation level" - have the powers that be on the Italy ethernettywebthingyforum been speaking to some of my old friends, or is there some other method for arriving at this conclusion?

What green blocks and accompanying words??? I don't see them and feel somewhat deprived.

Sally - go to your response to my entry and on the right hand side you will see you have 4 green blobs. Hold your mouse over them and it says "you are on a distinguished road" - presumably you live on the A46 Exeter to Honiton, new dual carriageway section!!!!! Hold you mouse over my meagre single green blob and it reveals to the world that my reputation is base.

Please let me know I'm not seeing something that's not there (bit worried I can't spell hallucinating).

Chris It doesn't work unfortunately on yours or mine but I am an Apple Mac user. However I will give you a grazie for bringing it to my attention and when more people do the same lo and behold you too will be a distinguished whatever you quoted eventually. Here goes.

Hi Ghiandi,

when someone reads a post which they feel is important/useful, they click on the grazie button, which gives you a reputation. The more reputations you are given, the more green blocks you will get.
Hope this info. helps.

Francesca, does it say you are on a distinguished road if you have four blocks???

[Gala Placidia]

Yes, it does, Sally

[Geotherm]

Clicking the grazie button will only thank a post, in order to give 'reputation' you have to click on the scales next to the report triangle.

But if you look at the poll
(http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums/ita...m-options.html)
you will see that reputation is the least favoured new options and I think it reflects the quantity of posts rather than the overall quality, not of course wishing to ‘dis’ anyone who is busy collecting little green blocks.

If you look at the FAQ there is an option for negative reputation too but in IMF's case it has not been activated.
