    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Just a quick question I thought when you advanced to a higher reputation level you got another green bar. I hit reputation level 50-149 but still only have one bar and everyones I have looked at has two bars at that point? No big deal was just wondering why it didn't change.
 
You start with a gray one I think. Then with your first "karma" you get you will get a green bar. You can get more bars by people giving you Karma. ( the scales below your trader rating). If you leave good Karma you may get it in return. Thus after hitting new higher numbers and getting more green bars.. Have I confused you enough?? lol
 
2nd green bar kicks in at 150-249, then 250-349 and so on. you stop getting the green bars at 2,500 rep.
 
use your mouse to scroll over, and leave it on yours till it shows up your rep level (50-149). then do the same thing to Rock star's rep level (150-249). if his is showing up as only 50-149 to you, then idk what to tell you.

thats wierd no it shows up as the next level but i just went and double checked that other peoples say 50-149 at two green bars and they do. Maybe there is something else that determins it.
 
no, rep level is rep level. you have to have a certain amount of rep, in order to gain (or lose) that second, third, forth etc bar.

only thing i can think of, is they don't have that 100 post "initial" karma bump, but have still received enough karma to give them 2 bars.
 
If you search the feedback forum, there is a recent thread where webslave changed the rep/karma settings. That may have something to do with it and maybe some people had a higher rep before the change :shrug01:
