MaryQuiltsTx Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I have a few questions that I can't seem to find the answers for....not saying they aren't there jumping up and down waving at me....just saying that as I plod along watching where I put my feet, I can't see them. What is the "reputation" that I keep seeing references to? How do you give reputation? What types of things warrent reputation? Will I get a reputation for asking so many questions about reputation? Also I see some folks have a fancy signature and a list of their machine, blog, shop, etc. Some have cute quotes. How do you add that to your posts. I looked everywhere, I think, in my profile and did not see where to do that. Is there a certain place that questions like these should be asked? Appreciate any help in learning about this forum so as not to be so awkward stumbling around. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilterkp Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 You can give reputation for anything you like! Look at the bottom left hand corner of someone else's message. (You can't give your own messages reputation.) You will see two boxes -- one with an arrow in it and one with a heart. Click on the arrow box to give reputation! I would have given you reputation for your questions but we are only allowed to do it 10 times a day and the system thinks I have already done that, which I have not. It does seem to be a bit glitchy in regards to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Signatures can be added by going into your profile at the top of the page, click on the down arrow next to your name and a menu will show. Choose Account Settings, and you will see an item marked Signature. I know there used to be a site that you could create a signature and then copy it in but I don't remember the site information. I probably created my signature in 2008 or so. It looks like you have the option to change the text, size and color so you should be able to create an original.

nancys13 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thanks Mary.... I was just floating around trying to answer the same questions myself! Glad I saw your post so I did not go ahead and ask the same things. So the reputation arrow must be how people get "points"....? And that is what the leaderboard is about?

MaryQuiltsTx Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Yes Nancy I think so. I never hesitate to ask a question, not bashful about it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmkeindl1 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Is reputation that same as "like" - I thought so but I seem to have given an up arrow to everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryQuiltsTx Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Cathy yes, it is like "like". It's a thumbs up I think. It encourages folks to share and lets them know people are reading what they wrote. (All this knowledge from the person who had to ask in the first place. Oh well, it's my interpretation of it anyway. Hope it's right.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 And you can only give a certain number of "little green arrows" a day, so you have to be selective If I post a message, then someone or more than one someone posts pictures of quilts, I "like" too much and they I get a message that I can't do that anymore.
