Can This Forum Handle Files?

I see we can attach PDF's, GIF's, etc.

Is there a way to set up a section for spreadsheets?

Many of us probably have analytical sheets we wouldn't mind sharing.

Excel spreadsheets can now be attached.

I have a question about the Reputation feature.... are you using it? I have been giving positive feedback to some posts that I consider great, but I can't give feedback to the same users constantly. MJ, do you know the parameters for this feature? how many votes does somebody need in order to increase their reputation?

I spent a lot of time last nite researching this function and I don't like it. Yes, it works. However, the system needs to be re-scaled so when you add to one's reputation, it makes a difference. Right now, the categories are too wide to make any measurable impact. Also "reputation power" gives you the ability to add or subtract reputation. When your reputation is low (which is everyone since the forum is so new) you can't add reputation repeatedly.

I'm still learning about this function.

However, I think I'm going to look for an alternative module/hack and implement that one to take care of the "reputation" feature.

much appreciated. I think it is key to add value to people's responses. Many posters many not be in the millionaire level yet but have enough expertise to provide valid input. These users should have that little extra added to their answers and profile. Peer review is a great way to auto-regulate the forum.

Mate would love a "new posts" Icon, makes it quick any easy to view what's been going on when you can't drop by as often as you'd like
