    it was for security reasons also :)

    there had been several dozen security exploits found possible in the old 3.6 series (the software the site was on until yesterday)

    that can be disabled easily if members don't like it > user CP > and either edit details or edit options has the ability to hide it :)

    Richard, can you explain how the 'Rep Power' thing works, My 'Rep Power' is 2 but I've got a 'Reputation' of 19 in my User CP, is that linked somehow? The 'Reputation' is only private, is that right?

    yes the messages in your usercp are private to you :)

    and your rep power is this

    19 = 10 (one rep unit) and 9 left over (needs one more to become its own unit)

    10 rep - 1 rep power
    1000 posts - 1 rep power

    so you have 2 from that :)

    Thankfully it seems you eliminated that public message board .... :thumb:

    Another question: How do we accumulate $GCs? It seems to be on the length of each post, sometimes its 7 or 9?

    I think I must be thicker than I thought I was. On this basis I would get 1 rep power for my 1000+ posts and then presumably I would need to have 10 people boost my rep power before I get another point..........or am I missing the point? Because I am showing 5 rep power on my postings but 11 on my cp. I am confused yet again! How did I get to 5 if it is made up of units of 10 :scratch:
