Reputation:

Giving rep is another way for members to show appreciation to posts fellow SC users create.

To GIVE rep:

Press the reputation button that is located on every post created.


Another little box will pop up.



And then you've given rep!

__________________________________________________ ______

To VIEW rep others have given you:

Go to your UserCP


Scroll down and you'll see the list of posts and comments others have given you.



__________________________________________________ _______

Users rep "power" depends on the amount of reputation others have given them.
As you can see by that last image... at this time my rep points sit at 72013.
I have a rep power of 813 at this stage in the game.

- A green rep means positive, a grey one means rep from someone with less than 50 posts so no rep altering power, a red means negative (quite rare)

__________________________________________________ _______

As you receive more rep you're little bars will increase. Bars give you stars eventually giving you hearts. At each stage as you scroll over that area there are neat little sayings as well.

I hope that's cleared some questions up.

Inserting a link into text is SO easy.

For the purpose of learning we'll pick a word. In this case we'll use the word "HERE". And the following link.
http://www.forum.smartcanucks.ca/sho...064#post382064

Which is just the link to this post.

1. First COPY the link you'd like to connect your word to.
The link is located in the address bar like shown below.

3. Next if you haven't created an album before choose, "Add Album"



4. You will be taken to an album set up screen like the one below. Be advised that when you create this album it can be made "PUBLIC" if you are going to share the pics on the forum in posts for everyone to see. If it's made private only those ON your friends list can see it.

You take what's AFTER the = sign... so that'd be... Z47EUaIFrdQ... in this case. And you paste that in between the you tube brackets.

Like that. (some brackets removed for the purpose of showing you) but this is what the end result is....
