RepDaddy's Musings about CF2 & our SubForum

[drstevej]

Hi gang,

Just some thoughts. My first reaction in touring CF2 was bewilderment especially when trying to figure out the reps/thanks/blessings features. It was obvious that some real changes needed to be made or the existing Blessings Exchange and Repaholics SubForum would be obsolete.

But in exploring further it was obvious that on multiple fronts there were a myriad of adjustments needed throughout CF and it would be some time before they were all addressed. At that point I adopted my custom title: "Patience, RD ....." as a reminder to myself.

The lead programmer, nexia, is quite excellent and I am confident is making progress as rapidly as possible. The challenge is complicated by all of the features Erwin had patched into the software that do not automatically upgrade with a new version release and need to be addressed after any upgrade. Each upgrade changes the way some things are done so it is a daunting task.

MY ADVICE TO REPAHOLICS:

Patience. As the software is being upgrade let's focus some on fellowship. I think this is needed in our area anyway so this transition may push us a bit to lay off reps as the primary fixation (RD trembles to write that) and get to know each other.

I do know that upper mgmt are aware of the features we requested and hopefully in time they will be able to implement them. This SubForum has become a vital part of CF and a real source of encouragement. I am hopeful this can resume in the CF2 environment.

Excellent advice RD. One teeny rep to you.

 

[D'Ann]

Amen. I need to remind myself to be patient too. I'm sure things will work out nicely when it is all said and done.

Good morning Avatar, throwing a lil rep your way

Hey, our rep power is showing, when did that happen?

 

[drstevej]

step by step. great to have it back

 

[Avatar]

Yep.

But at a factor of a thousand less than it was. I'm trying to be patient, but so far I hate the new site. Everything about it annoys me. Trying to be patient here. Maybe I need to take a CF week break and come back when everything is in place; then make a call.

Oh well. Hope everyone has a great day!

I don't appear to have any effect on rep counts of others.

One of the things I liked best is being able to raise someone by 1 reputation power. Now I can't even raise a rep point.

 

[drstevej]

I repped you and it did not change your rep power.

Lettuce Romaine patient and hope that all is going to be fine on CF.

When we rep it increases a persons reputation by 50. Gig increased my rep power by one because I was at xxx,383,951 and her 50 bumped me to xxx,384,001. (The first 3 digits that are 'x'd' aren't secret, I just don't remember exactly what they are, 389 I think).

I wish I could pay someone (in blessings?) to fix my avatar. I'm such a doofus when it comes to those kinds of things and I lose my patience quickly.

 

[Avatar]

Yeah, me too. That's why I went with a simple character.

So they have rep power showing instead of rep points. Does everyone rep equally now?
