Windows 7 (this is a test)

I'm testing the ability to select the "SOLVED" prefix by creating a new thread and editing it.

EDIT: Yes I can.

Good test, I was gonna try it myself. I figured it pertained to post created after a certain date. Good work and some rep for you

 

[Trouble]

OK, now I have another problem, apparently I cannot thank someone and rep that person in the same post. Easily solved you say, just find another post and rep him there. Nope, says I have to spread the rep around. Sooooo evidently I will have to wait to give that rep, sorry Exp HP.

Haha, thanks. One of the Moderators suggested I make this thread after I proposed the possibility that topic age was a factor.

It does seem to be the case. I could edit this thread to add a prefix, but still not my old one.

EDIT: Post collision. I was responding to Trouble.
EDIT2: Oh wait, the second post is also by him. Durrrrrh.

Thanks Ben:
It works as advertised on the more recent posts, so evidently there is a date factor involved. I still don't understand why when I choose to thank some one it seems to count as rep but does not add to that persons rep factor.

 

[Trouble]

OK, thanks for the info, I'll remember that for future use. Rep first, maybe a thanks after?

You have to pick your poison. Thanking someone gives them 10 reputation points, therefore you cannot add reputation again.

Then I'm a bit confused.

Why do I have 4 rep points right now if I have just received 10 (and have not lost any)? Is the thanks-rep reward system broken as well, or is it just that I'm a n00b and don't understand what "Rep Power" is? (which is altogether likely; while I've seen many forums with a rep system like this in place, this is the first such one I've joined )

 

[Trouble]

Thanks Mike, Ben made that point pretty clear and I understand. Besides, I thought you were going to take some well deserved time off for a while.

 

[Mike]

Your reputation power should increase over time, the more you receive reputation.

I found the same thing when I tried to rep you, so there's a workaround.
