Rep Update

Geocajun and I worked on the rep system some this evening trying to set the new software to the old settings.

I thought it would be simple but we hit some snags. The current set up creates a drop down box with a variable amount of reps you can give. For folks with MANY reps this makes it very slow to load. Also there are some quirks.

To rep with IExplorer you right click on the rep icon and then select open link in a new tab. Mozilla FoxFire seems to work a bit better but is also slow.

Another snag is setting the reps per day to 40. That doesn't seem to work. So to avoid rep inflation (like the blessings boom) I am suggesting he set a max rep points given at 3,000,000 per day.

Now for MEGAzillas this is less that you should have, but if the cap is higher and folks are not restricted in the number of times they can rep in a day ... we will have repflation.

Also, he and I have not been able to talk again tonight so I am PMing this to him so he knows what I have communicated. He can post any corrections.

Please be patient, at least we are trying some stuff until the settings can get restored fully. This is a partial step (frustrating yet still a bit of progress).

So, let's see what happens.

RD

Yes it can and that will be adjusted.


Okay, I'm confused (NSOA) Is there no way to set it at 40 or they are not sure how to do it and this limit of 3,000,000 per day is a temporary fix until they figure things out. Sorry, there has been so much information and I'm having a hard time sorting everything out.

Thanks RD

God Bless

A limit is a temp fix. The 40 reps per day requires some programming (I think). Geo may be better able to answer this.


Thanks RD, I appreciate the info.

Please check this out and add your prayers:

I would like to ask for special prayers for a wounded soldier who is having another surgery tomorrow. Here is a link to the thread for prayer and more of what happened. We can flood the heavens with prayers for this brave young man. His screen name is TR....PRAYERS FOR TR



God Bless you all!

For those that cannot rep because your reps are too high ive seen some say they can do it if they right click and open the rep in a different window itself so maybe this will help

Doesn't work for me :sigh:

:wave:

why does there need to be any cap on how many reps and how much someone can give? if thats there rep power they should be able to use it - currently having a list of all the numbers which we could choose from makes one very long long list; and if we can choose the rep power we give to a person; how soon before we have a lot of upset people :doh:

Right now we cannot limit how many times you can give reputation, but rather we can only limit how many reputation points you can give. We have set a limit of 3,000,000 temporarily. If you had a full rep power of 500,000 then you could only give your full rep power 6 times, or half your rep power 12 times, etc .. that is what you are choosing in the drop down menu (which I hope we can get rid of).
We are looking into a way to restore the functionality that was in place before the upgrade.

Setting the reputation limit should be a simple setting:

AdminCP> VBulletin Options>User Reputation Options> 'Daily Reputation Clicks Limit'

This is from the Vbulletin forum. Finding the setting should be a snap.

Again, Thank You!
