About the New Board and the "Reputation"???

The way it works is someone has to "vote" for you or give you reputation points by clicking on the gold box with the check and "X" in it under the Rep Power.

It started new when the new site went up so you would only get votes starting yesterday. No "Rep Power" is given to start with so it will be white until someone gives you "+" rep power if you get a lot of "-" rep power and it goes into negative, it will turn red. The higher the number, the better.
