~~How does this affect the forum ranks?~~

Nevermind, I see the old rep system is still in other forums, in addition to the thanks.

On Thanks stats, we are considering reducing the amount of space the stats take up in the postbit/profile to just 1 line, just as trade feedback is shown. For example:

Trade Feedback: 55(100%)

So for Thanks it would show given and received:

Thanks: 102/67

This now gives me 8 rep power. You might want to consider lowering rep power by one or something, it's a good addition but confusing and complicated aswell.

How about:
-Rep:
-Date:
-Posts:
-Thanks:
-Coins:
-Feedback:

Also the new Rank Images are nicer.

How is that useful? How is reputation useful? Who cares?

Reputation is used to gain ranks, which give you access to private sections of the forums. This is all used as incentive to contribute and helps to bring a sense of community to the forums. Yes, they are just numbers, but it's better than nothing.

Since this new system has been added, from personal experience, I must say It's really working. If the goal is to improve activity within forum it's definitely working.
I personally find myself visiting various sub-forums more often than I've done for a long while posting myself but also giving out 'thanks' to people who've already posted there. The reputation I've received is not a lot but the amount of time I've received it in is definitely quicker than the time period it would have taken me for the same amount without the system in place.

Good Job. More good features like this will really help the website.

Yes, that definitely is the idea and hope. One added feature to this that I am thinking about is whether to turn on notifications for Thanks so that you would get a popup like you do for PMs and normal Rep received. The concern on that is performance issues.

Anyways, thanks for the feedback!
