The rep system. I thot it was only when you post a comment. Im gonna be honest. Thanks is cool...Rep is weird...just sayin.....it is oh like...well that will be all.

My question is thusly
...ever since I got timed out for a month...upon my return my scarlet rep is that I see a constant message on nearly everone's post..that says "you have zero rep and zero posts and you are not going to get to look at links . Now I dont care about reputation...not even a tiny eeny weeny bit but seeing a constant reminder is somewhat something....bottom line....Im okay with just logging in and connecting.

any chance you can get a screenshot and send it to me (syrlinus [at] gmail)? I'm not sure what you are seeing as rep shouldn't have been affected by your timeout.

I went away and came back and it all looks good as far a zero rep and zero post etc. Now I believe, after a quick checking, problem solved Linus. Thankyou.
