    Number of posts has disappeared. Not a big deal for me I never look at them.

      I believe it's a "reputation" score. I don't think they ever used it, perhaps they are about ready to introduce it? Just a guess.

        Looks like 10 glowing embers of charcoal slowly cooking our usernames.

          It's a "reputation". It's designed for certain forums to sort of reward long-time members who've contributed a lot. Conversely it also can make new members feel like nobodies or make other members think new members are nobodies. We don't use it here, we don't want to introduce hierarchy and make new folks feel inferior or inflate my blabbermouth head with six hundred orange bars. It will be removed.

          Lots of vBulletin's defaults were reintroduced with this update and RayJ has to go around and mop up when he's back in the office.

            It's funny... because we have Founding and Charter to serve the function of making new members feel like nobodies... ;-)

              I will remove the reputation bar. Not sure why it decided to show. I will work on restoring the post counts.

                Both should now be fixed.
              #12
              Yeah, reputation bar means nothing here. Myron Mixon would start with zero. And Lloyd Christmas could flood the forum and build rep. Number of posts does not correlate with ability in this case.

                How did Mosca find out what my real name is? And all the flooding of the forum I've been doing isn't build my rep? This is an outrage!
