[Kasper]

SETTING UP YOUR PROFILE

Then go to the 'MODIFY PROFILE' block and select 'FORUM PROFILE' and there you can change things such as avatar, bio, signature, etc.

REPUTATION
Reputation - is just a little forum mini game. each user has a reputation. There are three aspects:
(1) Rep points (2) Rep power (3) and Rep bars

Rep Points increase in a few ways.
     1. you get 3 rep points each time you post a NEW topic
     2. you get 1 rep point for replying to someone elses topic.
     3. and you get a rep point each time someone adds rep to your post.
You would add rep to someones post if you thought what they said was good. NOTE: add to someone's rep by clicking on the little heart icon under their avatar. You must make 5 posts to the forums before you are capable of adding to someones rep. 

Your Rep Power increases by 1 for each 20 Rep Points.
and your Rep Bar increases by 1 bar for every 35 Rep Points.

You can view your reputation by looking at your profile. You will see your total reputation points on that first summary screen (a few rows underneath your name).
You can also view who has sent you reputation by clicking on 'VIEW REPUTATION' in the Profile Info block.

ENJOY THE FORUMS!
