    I was just planning to steal one of the windows plips - I quite like the one called "windows xp information bar" until I find something better.

    Yesterday I found myself trying to rep David Franklin yet again....I think he has been incredibly witty this week. .

    Anyway, as I had already repped him to the limit, instead of being told to go away and spread it, I was offered a box to make a comment for him. No rep would be given. I imagine he would have received my comment alongside a grey box.

    ZW
    With the upgrade Franck did this week I think this is a new aspect to rep.
    Allowing the repper to add comments without rep whilst they are there in Rep LIMBO for that forumite.........Good idea me thinks.. as that moment you want to pass the comment may never be revisited later.

    It's a virtual bank of rep....maybe ask said comment maker later for the rep they wanted to give you when they are allowed to allocate it .................................................. . I can see the rep tarts asking to make withdrawals from the virtual bank

    Well, seeing as you mention it, yes, I did get a rep comment from some tightwad who was too tight to send me a proper rep...

    I had wondered about that... It's a common problem.

    Thanks, yes that would be it, I got some rep from the same person very recently. I like that as although rep can't be given yet to someone, you still can get/give the nice comments! (The comment meant more to me than the rep point I would have got.)

    If they are begging, they really need to get out more

    Quick summary - I thought it'd be a good-ish idea, some debate ensued, ESG volunteered to do something fairly clever to the software, and we're now waiting with bated breath...

    I can now control my lights from my mobile phone (from anywhere in the civilised world, more or less - don't ask why this might be useful because I couldn't tell you). Central heating (control), a James Bond style tracking widget that displays its location on a map on my phone - and trying to see if vBulletin will allow a decaying rep system - are all on the list. The challenge I can see at the moment is that rep is (most likely) stored as an integer type in the database, and it would have to be treated as a a floating point number, or more feasibly I'd need an extra column in the users table to store the fractional part of the rep. Not sure if that's possible.

    Is it just me or did anyone else have the thought "ESG needs to get our more" cross their mind while reading this?

    OK, nuts to the rep stuff, I vote for the tracking widget - I can think of several applications at a dance venue already
