It means you have a reputation power of 3. The blocks have been used to give a graphical representation of everyone's estimated reputation power. The number is the actual value, which I chose to now display. Up until now, users were only able to see their own rep number, but not others.

What's the significance of the numbers? I have 2 green dots, a power of 4, and 120 point(s) [which is secret].. is there some simple mathematic relationship between points, green squares and power? 1 power integer = 30 points = 0.5 green squares? Green squares relationship there can't be right, because I see people with one more green dot than me might have 10+ more rep power than me.. is that because green dots aren't linearly mapped to rep points? Or is each measure related to other things than rep given, or is rep-power relative over all members? I must admit, it is quite confusing without clear explanation.

Green dots = linearly mapped to Reputation points. Rep power = the number of points that you can affect someone else's reputation when you give them a positive or negative comment. Rep power is based on a number of factors including your own reputation, how many posts you have, how long you've been a member, etc. Only thing that's changed = Nothing is secret anymore.

Visit my member profile and look at the rep section to clarify what I've said.

Hm. I understood that for a moment, but now I see another, different, number.. your 'reputation altering power' on your profile = 9, but your 'rep power' as shown under your name on posts = 31.. aren't they the same thing? That's what I understood from your post.
Mine are different to; on my posts it's 4, on my profile it's 6..
