Yup. It is working. Thanks!
I run a vB board also and noted that the rep I'm getting here is all grey rep.
What are the rep rules for rep power?
ie: how much rep and / or how many posts do you need before your rep power is 1?
(When your rep power is 0, you can only give out "grey" rep, which in turn doesn't increase the person's rep, and thus doesn't give them the power to give out real rep either).
Also, how does rep power increase?
The defaults for vB are pretty steep, with rep power starting too slow and increasing too quickly, in my experience. On our forums we ended up going with a system where rep power is 0 until you have 10 posts AND 10 rep, and then becomes 1 - but never goes up again. Otherwise you end up with people who have 1000 rep handing out 10 rep at a time.

CyberPunk, Vampire, GunPorn, Star Frontiers, HeroQuest, deadEarth and more
I believe rep is set to the default here as well. I notice that I can give out green rep, but I have over 600 posts and I've only received one green rep the other rep is all gray. Arcana would be the one to ask to find out for sure what the limits are set at.
I've modified the reputation settings AND added an FAQ entry about them. Check it out:

Excellent!
You might consider changing the following though:
Register Date Factor: for every 60 days, user gains one point of rep factor
Post Count Factor: for every 50 posts, user gains one point of rep factor
Rep Point Factor: for every 50 points of rep, user gains one point of rep factor
Change to 1 year. Anything shorter rep is going to be huge very quickly.
1000 posts. Makes things easier to calculate and keeps the rep a bit more under control especially considering those of us who post like crazy.
100 point of rep. Makes things easier to calculate and keeps the rep from exploding and not really being worth much.
This is based on the years of using rep at the Hero Games site.
Here are my rep stats for Hero Games:
129807 rep points
Rep power: 1305
That is actually about 3 years worth. When I rep someone I increase their rep power by 13 based on these numbers.
So how can you tell your rep points and power? Somewhere in the User CP?
The REP FAQ link does not work.
To see Your rep, Look up top and clicky on the " Settings " in the top right under your name. For me it says "Latest Reputation Received (22 point(s) total)" and that both Lukc and Jaxilon gave me rep and how much.
good to know thank you for the info
I was wondering about that actually. i saw rep comments in my CP but wasn't sure how to rep another. Thanks fer the great post...
