    Rep Point Squares

    I noticed that over at CodeGuru they have members with multiple green
    squares to designate the level of rep points they have.

    How many rep points does each green square represent?

    Solid green is 100points for each one as default...light green is 200 I think.

    Thats correct yes .

    So first person over 100 should get 2 green boxes while every one else only has 1 .

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    Sounds like such low values when we have an extra power point given at
    every 1000 rep points. But thanks for the info. Where did you find it? FAQ?

    I am a very lonely person.



    I found out in a convo with Electroman a few days ago. Think he was looking at vBulletin home page.

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    I was looking throught he vBulletin Forums, can't remember what i was looking for but I searched for "Reputations" and ended up reading lots of threads about them. Found out quite a bit, mind one article mentioned if a post is deleted then the attached reputations will also be removed, well that one isn't true, the comment does disapear but the points remain. I think it was cos the BETA testers had made that thread and that was the case then and it was changed.

    Wasn't it also true that it would still count on the spread even if it was deleted...or have I been dreaming when I read that some where?

    If a post gets deleted and the rep comment is lost then you are able to give that person another vote staright away (even though the points remain). Acording to this thread I read the spread is meant to act as if the vote still happened. This doesn't really apply to our forum mind because we don't physically delete posts we just "kinda" make them invisible to regular members.

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    At the current rate we are going to be having members with many many
    green squares accross the page.

    Shouldnt each green square be worth more then 100 rep points max? Maybe
    one green square per 250 or more?

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    Over at CodeGugu their rep squares are the same I think. But it doesnt seem
    to add up? 2 green squares is 150+. 3 is 200+. 4 is 300+. etc.

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    Well the 200 value thing is actually hard coded. Not sure what happens when there is no more room though.

    The values you gave make sense:
    0 - 99 (1 green square)
    100 - 199 (2 green squares)
    200 - 299 (3 green squares)
    300 - 399 (4 green squares)
    400 - 499 (5 green squares)

    I think thats how it is anyway, unless the code has been chnaged over there to extend it?

    Not sure how many you need before they start turning bright green.

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    This is how I viewed them. The tooltip descriptions say for 2 squares "150+"?
    Also, the tooltip for six squares is kind of "square" - "username is a glorious beacon of light."

    Please, lets change those descriptions. I would never want to be described in
    that way.

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    Yeah, that makes sense...read Electromans post again. 150 is between 100 and 200, so you are rezeiving your second green dot, since you all ready have one...

    I agree where your coming from but that way you don't have any squares till you have at least 100. So between -99 & 99 will all appear the same

    And that is because he is between 150 and 200. The second green dot shows that he reached 100. The first one shows that he is a member with -99 to 99 posts. I don't get you now....

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    Yes it should, both 100+ and 150+ as it shows 20+, 30+, 40+ and so on for one square....


    But I agree, it looks a bit weird....but that is at least the logic behind it...

    Kinda, the tooltips don't just jump in order of the boxes though, like how they are changing at the moment for us even though no one has 100 yet. A tooltip might exist for 450+ too but I don't know, might be that on CodeGuru all the people with more than 400 don't have more than 450.

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    Doh! I get it now. I'm being slow. Proably because its Monday.

    Electro, can we change the tooltip descriptions for certain levels so there not
    so "cutesy" for lack of a better word.

    Ex. "username is a glorious beacon of light."

    I don't think he can do that. We will have to let Brad or Heidi or something do that. But I have to agree. It is a bit silly...

    Re: Rep Point Squares

    The value(s) that determine when an additional square (graphic) is displayed is determined within the code and not the forum settings. I've never gone out to try to find out what the value(s) are for that.

    The text is customizable for the tool tips. This is based on reaching different categorizes. For the most part, the textual descriptions are what were in the software (although I dumped a couple that were even worse).

    In order to provide better feedback, I added the "(###+)" text at the end of a number of descriptions and then duplicated the text so as to allow for better feedback on how a person is doing. As people get into higher point brackets, the spread for a new items gets wider. If you have a rep over 100, you are probably helping more than hurting anyway.

    Hopefully this makes sense.

    And no, I won't display what upcoming tags are. I'll leave that as a surprise
