Silly Question - What do the Green Dots mean ??

[LadyWithQuestions]

Goodness, I'm on a posting-frenzy tonight - LOL. Just curious about the green dots under the

usernames in the message posts. Some have only one and others (like myself) have several. Just wondered what they

meant. I can't click on them or anything. It's a mystery!
Thanks,
LWQ

alot of people dont know

this, and i have only recently figured it out...
apparently if you hit the "scales" at the bottem right under

their name in the post, you will have the opprtunity to say wether or not the post was helpful. no one really uses

them but you hear all the time "hey-good post!" if they would add to the "reputation" of the person posting, you

would see more green dots. i hope i answered that correctly,LOL

Lor, A nice quick and consise

answer. It is called "Karma" in some forum board systems such as "Simple Machines Forums" - I believe it's called

"Reputation points" in "Invision Power Board" and "VBulletin"

Unfortunately, I can not see the scales, due to the

lack of my posts. To prevent mass or false reputations.

Im sorry to butt in all of a sudden, lol
