OK... seriously ...the clutter is getting bad...stop.
The little numbers next to each thread in the main topic board are as meaningless as when there was an option to rate threads. Be a good girl and close down your coding ide...

*Voted best profile in the world*
My input:
- I like the 'digg' style +1 and -1 buttons.
- But the reputation should be removed because now we have two methods to rate a post which could be considered confusing
- The new buttons are pretty ugly. Please down-size them and change the color-scheme to the rest of the 'info-div'
But overall, I;m glad the failing reputation system is going to be replaced by something more meaningful. So: good job Dani!

The new system is actually *integrated* with the reputation system. If you give rep, it automatically upvotes or downvotes. The rep system still serves its purpose if you want to leave a comment about the post more than a simple up or down vote (which is anonymous).

That aside, have to agree with AD's request. Sometimes a "no hit" rep remark is sufficient for the task.
EDIT: a little slow on the comment.... just noticed further explanations in above response from Dani, which helps a little. It is interesting to note the confusion to the new system however, as goes to highlight how the general understanding of any new system has much to do with how effective it can ever be
NB: I am left wondering how many rep adjustments will be handed out while ppl "fiddle" with those new buttons

@Jbennet - not in anyway criticising new system (can see the appeal), but just see a need for clear clarification, as seems to be causing more than a little confusion.
Should the voting be annon, as leaves open for ppl to simply down-vote ppl for more petty reasons due to anon set-up. Even poll-votes are not set as anon by default are they?

OK, so if I want to simply give one single rep point, click the up button, as I did to jbennett above.
Or add your entire rep allotment by clicking the add link, as I did for kaninelupus. But the number is not modified.
And I agree the buttons are very cluttery as well as the bold number.

OK Dani - are the post votes intended to add/minus from the person's Site Rep (which is currently not the case), or simply a method of rating the individual post?

From another thread...
Oh, so that's what's going on... Got it!
