Just checking that I've got the forum set up correctly, and that you guys have noticed this feature:

At the bottom right of EVERY post on the forum, you should see little + and - buttons (red and green); click the green to vote up, the red to vote down. This should eventually create a heirarchy of very helpful posts, and crap we should ignore (not that we need to click that one much these days).

In short, if someone posts something you think is helpful, insightful or something you found useful, give it a vote if you feel that way inclined. Reward good posting Also works if someone is posting unhelpful crap that doesn't quite deserve a warning or report.

Note that you can also vote people on their profiles. Think someone is a star member? Give 'em five stars.

(As an extra bonus, I'm sure everyone's spotted that you can add 'friends' on the forum - once it gets big, it's a good way to keep track of the people you get along with the most.)

I think those that knew just forgot, as IPB has 348573498758934x features no mere mortal can remember.

CS would benefit from similar software methinks.

yeah keep reminding us..........it's a great feature

Kiwi biker has the same feature but its for the poster not the post. Adds to reputation or something

[blk ice]

cool idea will use it now that i know

[boostin]

Yeah seen it, but didn't think we were using it. Will start clicking away!!!

[Shale]

Doesn't need to be a hugely active thing. Just whenever it crosses your mind

[Familyman]

Hmmm... How long til we break server with "CLICK ON EVERY POST!!!" attack?

[Shale]

A friendly bump for this, folks

Noticed some people's profiles have 'reputation' building up? This is actually a count of posts they've made that have been voted up.

Remember, if you found a post useful, insightful or generally contains good shit, give it a +. If someone's posted spam, garbage, misinformation or something you think basically needs to go in the bin, give it a -. The community gets to decide who its resident experts are

[DCVR]

yep good reminder

[boostin]

Yeah been using this.

[matdaymon]

Is there a way to view the highest rated posts on the site?

[Shale]

Not sure of a way to sort by rank for posts or users, no. I can look into this
