Forgive me as it is a long time since I looked and came across them by accident and now cant find where to view them "my Rep points" as I wanted to thank someone for repping me and now cant remeber who it was??

click on my profile and you'll get a list come up,you need to then click on user control panel.x

Oh i just looked and i had some and i didn't even know they were there!
What are they then and how do you give them?

If you think someone has been particularly helpful or informative (or both lol) you can give them some rep...you do this by clicking on the green box at the right hand side of a post..and a box opens up for you to also write a comment.
The more rep a person has the more little blue boxes appear under their location.

The red box on the right side is to report a post to the Moderators if you think it is against the Geek Commandments...don't think I have ever used that one though...but I definitely use the green one lol!!!!

they are just a way of saying thank you if you have had some great advise or if you want to let someone know that you agree with something that they have posted etc...

to give someone a rep point you hover your mouse over the green square (found on the right) in that persons post and click on it,
you can then leave them a message if you want to let them know why you have given them a rep and they may return the favour to you, hth

Thanks I can be dim sometimes. lol.

No need to go to all that trouble looking....It was me. honest missus

Well you learn something new every day! I apologise to people that have really helped me and i've not thanked this way-i'm not ignorant just unaware
