    Re: "You can't give rep twice"? (or at all?)

    Just tried to give some rep by clicking on the symbol, and nothing happened. No popup, no message, nothing.

    I copied the URL of the rep symbol and tried pasting it into the browser, which told me that I couldn't give more rep to the same person without spreading it around - fair enough as I'd rep'd them recently.

    But why didn't I get a popup telling me this? I tried clicking on the symbol with Ctrl key pressed (which gets round some popup blocking) but it made no difference.

    Anyone else found this? (I have suspicion it's only my PC and probably Mcafee getting it wrong again )

    I've had this. Just to check, I then clicked on the rep symbol for the posts before & after the one I was trying to rep, and it worked fine. I then found that I'd given rep to the same person five reps ago, so I assume the system knew I couldn't give rep to that person at that point (I could test this by going back to the same post & repping it, but I can't remember which it was )

    It certainly isn't your PC - the rep popups don't work in a way which your PC could selectively block (unless you plain turned off Javascript)

    My suspicion is that it's simply a minor interface issue - as you say, it should tell you why you can't rep, bring up just the comments box, or maybe change the icon, instead of simply doing nothing. It'll likely be fixed in some future update.

    When I try to rep the same post a second time I get a javascript alert telling me I can't rep the same post twice.

    But like the others, if I try to rep the same person for a different post I just don't get anything. I guess it's another rep-related bug.

    When I copied the URL from the rep symbol and pasted it into my browser Address bar, I did still get the "just a comment" option.

    Back down to 7... Still, it's higher than the old limit of 6...

    Think I got some rep from someone while their rep was worth 10 points though...

    7? Where'd that come from?? Seems a bit weird... Still, I suppose any limit's an arbitrary number anyway.

    It seems that rep has gone back to being a result of posts/rep received, instead of getting to a certain point and everyone having a max of 6. It may be that some people's rep has been adjusted downwards a little if new rules for deciding rep have been applied, as well as others going up.

    Nope, back to 6 again. I think I've been 10, 7, now 6 in a few hours. Where will it all end?

    In a rep re-set, hopefully. As I've mentioned a few times already.

    At some point, as more and more posters will be on power 6, there'll be more and more rep inflation, so that the numbers become pointless.

    In fact, I think they may be fairly pointless now - the MJDA forum survives without rep, maybe it's time to just zap it?

    THE MJDA forum survives without me, but is that any reason to do away with me here?

    Has this changed again?

    I don't seem to be able to give "grey" rep anymore and have to spread it around instead

    Now if only I could find some volunteers to test this theory.........

    It's not looking promising....
