Which reputation link actually gives the person rep points. The "Rate This Post" or the pic?
Both do the same thing.
I mainly asked this because sometimes people get 0 rep points, and sometimes actually do get points. Kinda like what I get sometimes. :bigyello:
Hover over each and they have the same hyperlink, so they are both the same. Perhaps the person giving you reputation points forgot to actually allocate reputation points ?
A gray box has no points, as the user is a newbie that hasn't made 20 posts yet. I have a collection of them that I'd like to return :)
As dglienna eludes, there are times when people aren't allowed to allocate points either positive or negative, but can still "rate" a post. If a person has not been on the forum long, if they don't have enough posts, or if they have a reputation below a certain level (such as a negative reputation), then they are not allowed to allocate points. These people can, however, still select to rate a post as positive or negative to show their opinion. Their rating simply doesn't impact your reputation.
Clear as mud?
Brad!
