\r\n \r\n Did that and all that comes up is notepad and subscribed threads. Nothing about rep. Was this done away with? Does a new member have to wait longer to reveal? Thanks \r\n

\r\n \r\n If you click on your UserCP, at the top of the page, it will show any reputation you\'ve received. To request a friendship, you can go to that member\'s profile page, by clicking on their User Name and View Profile. None of that has been done away with, BTW...thanks for the rep!

\r\n \r\n What is reputation?
\nReputation is a way of rating users depending on the quality of their posts. If the administrators have enabled reputation, then the reputation icon will be visible in posts.
\nReputation may be positive , negative or neutral . Negative reputation may only be given if the administrator has enabled this. Neutral reputation is only given when the person giving reputation does not meet the criteria set by the administrator to affect someone else\'s reputation.
\n
\nHow do I give reputation?
\nTo give reputation, click on the reputation icon in the relevant post. This will reveal a form to complete with the reputation type and the reason for giving the reputation. If negative reputation is disabled then it will not be displayed in this form. You may not give reputation for the same post twice.
\n
\nHow do I know what reputation I have received?
\nYou can view the reputation that you have received in your User CP (User Control Panel) where it is displayed at the bottom of the User CP page. Here you will see the latest reputation that you have received and whether this is positive, negative or neutral. Your total reputation will be shown as series of reputation indicators in your posts and profile. The more positive your reputation, the more positive icons will be shown. The more negative your reputation the more negative icons will be shown.
\n
\nHow much reputation is given? What is reputation power?
\nIf the administrator has enabled this, the amount of reputation that each user will give (or take away if negative) is shown in the user\'s posts as \'Reputation Power\'. The value of the reputation power is determined by the administrator and may increase over time depending on the settings they have applied.
\n
\nWhat if I don\'t want anyone to see my reputation?
\nYou can disable the display of your reputation by going to your User CP and selecting Edit Options. On this page you will find a check box labelled \'Show Your Reputation Level\'. Un-checking this box will remove the display of your reputation and replace it with the Reputation Disabled icon. You can still give and receive reputation while your reputation display is disabled.\r\n \r\n

\r\n \r\n What is the difference between a friend and a contact?
\n
\nA friendship is a mutual, two-way relationship between two users. It is initiated by one user and accepted by the other.
\nA contact is a one-way friendship. This could be where the other person does not accept the friendship, a friendship request is pending, or you do not wish to be friends at this time but want to show them as a contact only.
\n
\nWhere is list of friends and contacts displayed?
\n
\nYour friends and contacts are displayed on the \'Contacts and Friends\' page in your User CP. Your friends are also displayed in your profile page.
\n
\nHow can I request a friend, accept a friend or break a friendship?
\n
\nThere are two ways to request a friendship with someone.
\nThe easiest way is to view the profile page of the person you want to become friends with and click the \'Befriend\' link.
\nThe other way is to add the person to your contacts first. Then from your \'Contacts and Friends\' page ask to be their friend by checking the box next to their name labelled \'Friend\'. Next, save the page.
\n
\nIf you know the username of the person you want to be friends with you can send a friend request using the box provided and clicking \'Add Friend\'.
\n
\nTo accept a friend, go to your \'Contacts and Friends\' page. At the bottom of the page you will see a list of pending requests. Check the box for the requests you wish to accept then check the \'Accept\' button and save the changes. If you do not wish to be friends then select \'Reject\' instead.
\n
\nBreaking a friendship can be done in three ways.
\n
\nFrom your \'Contacts and Friends\' page, uncheck the box for friend for the particular person and save the changes. If you no longer wish them to be a contact either, uncheck both boxes for that person.
\nIn your \'Profile Page\', click \'Friends\' and then click \'Break Friendship\' next to the user\'s name.
\nIn the other person\'s profile, click \'Friends\' then find your username and click \'Break Friendship\'.\r\n \r\n

The easiest way to befriend another member of the forum is to click on their username in a post, go to their profile page, and click below Friends on the right side of the page to 'befriend' them.

If you get a request from another member to be their friend, it will show as a Notification in the upper right-hand corner of the forum page, under your Username and Mood. You can either accept, reject or ignore these requests.

For more detailed information about forum friends, click on FAQ (on the blue strip located at the top of the page, next to Blogs). After that, proceed to User Profile Features and Friends and Contacts.

You can view your own profile page, information, reputation received, etc., by clicking in the blue strip on User CP (user control panel).
