How do I actually add it? Somebody added a really thoughtful comment to one of my posts and I would like to give her a +1 if I can, but I can't find the option anywhere!

You should see a Green thumbs up and a Red thumbs down symbol under your picture.

The magic number is 50 posts before you can use rep. I should know as I've had ample opportunity to observe when what features kick in based on post count, lol.

You certainly have.  :laugh:

Originally, the magic number was 15. But we had newbies who didn't quite get the purpose of it (treating it more like a facebook or youtube 'like/dislike' thing), so we upped it. Smites, for example, are much more serious than just a 'thumbs down, I don't agree' scenario.

I've yet to smite anyone I believe in the few thousand or more posts I've made over the last 2 and a half years. I just don't like the idea of putting that on anyone. Heck, I've rarely up repped anyone as well.

Well, you may play one on TV, but you're certainly no newbie!  :laugh:

There should be a yellow one in between the red and the green called "The Fickle Finger of Fate"  >:-)

Ahhh, that makes sense. I'll just have to remember it for later then.

Thanks guys!
