Ohh those green boxes.
soo how come so many people only have one box and i see some have like 8+?

and how do you increase rep?

**townie** · 18 Jan 2009, 10:28 PM

thank you Lazarus, mwah, mwah, mwah.

Brownie points sounds like a good idea.....just dont actually make them brown, that would be....icky

also, on the rep thing, is it the old system, the more rep you have, the more you can give, with neg rep worth 1/4 of rep and mods having more rep power?

i can't edit my 'favourite tv shows' or 'industry interests'...maybe that's just my computer? i don't think i've ever been able to edit 'industry interests' actually.

Woah! Probably one of the biggest if not the biggest changes since I've been on BOS.

The reputation system in which users give, points to other users for good or bad posts. So if someone is helpful to you, you can give them positive rep. At the same time if someone says something you disagree with you can neg them. For rep to work BOS should probably adopt a similar system of rules that TSR (thestudentroom) to stop misuse as it seems to work quiet well over there – so in theory I don’t see why BOS can’t do the same and have it work out this time.

Congratulations, thanks and good work to Admins and all involved in the new changes and those to come.

Haven't yet - but it's next on the list - I am fed up with this site crashing at the most important time of the year.

Can't remember the exact settings but they haven't changed since last time.

There have been some hiccups with the user profile fields - should be fixed shortly.
