    Hi all,

    As you may or may not be aware, Tags and Rep points have been re-enabled on the forum. For those of you that have never used them or were not a member when they were first about, here is a quick guide:

    Tags - Tags are used for quick navigation on searching for a topic using the search bar. When creating a topic you can place some tags which will be helpfull for others.

    example: Formula1, Malaysia, Button, Hamilton etc etc

    please log in to view this image


    WARNING: any WUM tags or any found offensive will be removed and the user will recieve a warning from the mods of the F1 board.

    FAQ Link: http://www.not606.com/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=tags&titleandtext=1&match=all

    Rep - Reputation points can be given to users on how you view thier post or topic. Either positive or negative rep can be given along with a comment to the recipient. To do this click the star icon under the post. The users total Rep is displayed near their avatar as green/red blocks.

    WARNING: Any bullying or wummery and unjust reputation reported to the mods will be investigated and if judged guilty will be given a warning.

    FAQ Link: http://www.not606.com/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=reputation&titleandtext=1&match=all

    Hopefully if we all use these tools sensibly then it should benifit the F1 board community. If you want to act stupid with them then do it on the General chat board not here.

    Any questions or comments leave below.

    Cheers,
    El_Bando.

    Do you actually have to have 'rep' before you can see it? I always used to be able to see it, but I can't now. I've just repped you Chrispa, so if thats true you should now be able to see it. Someone mind returning the favour so I can see if it works for me?

    Yes - it shows instances of rep so if no one's repped you there's nothing to show.

    @DHC
    Thank you, I repped you back. Still can't find anything though :S

    EDIT:
    <-- Under my avatar it says I still only have one rep, which I had all day, so not sure your rep went through /EDIT

    Rep power is different to how much rep you've received (kind of)

    The more you post and the more rep you get the more rep power you have (exponentially)
    it basically gets harder to improve the better your rep is

    Click on 'Control Panel' - top right of every page, next to 'Log Out'.

    I'm pretty sure the little green rectangle counts rep by the 100. Meaning if you reach 100 rep, you'll get the second green rectangle. How many rep points a user can dish out depends on number of posts (and maybe other factors?), so for example 'rep' from Mifune, Chrispa and Genji has given me 18 points (assuming nothing is carried over from the previous time rep was in use).

    Yes I do know where the control panel is, but as I wrote above, according to the FAQ there should be an option about rep on this page, which I still cant find.

    When I first asked I had one rep, and it was nothing on my profile, but after DHC gave me rep I can now see it there, though it still says I only have one rep. I guess it starts off at 1 rep and that I really had 0 rep before DHC repped me. But I can see it now so no need spend more time on it. Thanks guys :)

    I still haven't got a clue what the point of rep is.
