    I'd thought it was odd to be negrepped by someone who seemed to be agreeing with me...

    Don't worry about it it's the thought that counts

    Particularly as you seem to be one of the few who's rep total exceeds their post count. Shouldn't that proportion be part of the calculation?

    Re: Rep Power?

    Since the formula for rep power has obviously changed from what it used to be (above), I'm guessing that Franck has rejigged it so that there are fewer people with the full 6 points, which will reduce the rep skewing that has been going on. It's a lot less mean, IMHO, than the total rep reset, which would be a shame for a lot of reasons.

    But Franck - any chance of knowing what the new formula is?

    So who are still on 6? On this thread I notice DJ, UP, S38 & me. Elsewhere I saw that Lory still has the "The Power of Six"...

    Who else?

    Re: Rep Power?

    ok.. here's an odd one.

    I was at rep 6, I'm now at rep 5. Fair enough. I noticed SF above was on 990 rep points so keen to see what happens when he got to 1000 rep I though I'd rep him (for his bogey joke) and gice him 5 more points, making him 5 short of the 1000 mark.

    well.. even though I'm rep 5.. he got 6 points of rep there

    so it seems I'm only a rep 5 in name only

    Must rep more people to test this theory.. hmm. Witty is nearing 5000 rep. ok if I rep her she should go from 4,978 to 4,983

    EDIT

    curiouser and curiouser.. didn't say I needed to spread the rep around. definately gave WB some rep (in User CP it's green not) but her score hasn't increased.. most odd. Seems the rep system has gone gaga !!

    see..

    Some forum areas are more "rep worthy" than others I think - e.g. if you rep someone for a "talk about dance" post, you get +1. The idea was to encourage people to, hah, discuss actual dancing occasionally.

    Crazy notion

    Um, are you looking at the number of posts rather than rep?

    Well awake or Not. SF has now gone past the 1000 rep mark.. () so it can't be +1 rep for every 500 rep points either or he would have went from rep Power 4 to 5?

    hmm the formula escapes me...

    If that's the case and it's a new feature then it's a good solution to something I'd asked for a few weeks back. Though maybe it should be more than a +1.

    Or maybe it's been around a while and I didn't notice.

    And today, I will be mostly campaigning for the return of "New Posts in Outside don't get flagged up in a New Posts search". That little quirk stopped rubberneckers, "Arrgghhh! Shut up! SHUT UP!" rants, and Last Word Duels.

    In between concocting a suitably spellbinding 1000th post.

    Well, mine says 5 and gives 5, so at least I'm consistant there
