What do reputation figures indicate? I have a 1 next to mine is that good or bad!!??

Thanks Ref.

Hi mathiese,

The reputation is used by members to rate other members on the forum. You can rate someone positive, neutral or negative - but you can only rate each other member once. However, you can change your rating for a particular user later. Green is positive, red is negative. Yours is positive, which is good

The idea is that over time each member would have a reputation that reflects how well respected he is among the other members on the board.

Not many use the feature on here at the moment, but feel free

If you want to rate another member, then click on their name to view their profile page. About halfway down on the left hand side you'll see 'reputation: details rate' Click on 'details' to see a user's rep, and use 'rate' to add your own rep for that person.
