Working great now, Mike! Thank you!

If you guys still haven't added an avatar, please do! Take a picture of your bass, or yourself, or even your favorite artist if that's what you want up there.

SMITH BASS FORUM ANNOUNCEMENT

Forums will be temporarily down for maintenance later tonight around 9-10PM EST. We are getting rid of our original hosting provider for our main domain, kensmithbasses.com and switching it to the same host providing us with smithbassforums.com. Our old host was very expensive and the new host is on a whole new level, while keeping prices at a minimum, so please bear with us while we are making these changes...

Forums Back Up

This procedure took much longer than expected.. but everything is all good now, enjoy

[Tim Bishop]

Thanks Mike! I was having Forum withdrawals last night. This really is not good for my insomnia!

Reputation Points

Most likely not many of you have noticed the reputation point system we have here on our forum. For every time you have someone help you out, or posts some intelligent information, be a good thing to return to them some rep points. On the other hand, if you felt that someone was being rude or inappropriate, you can also give them negative reputation, with a reason if you wish, which is viewable only by the recipient. To give people reputation points, you can click the "scale" icon as highlighted in this image, located just above a members join date and location:



You can see how many points someone has by looking at the green bar, shown under the post count, which will expand as more points are added towards a members name. It would be great if we started taking advantage of this feature

Mike, this is great! Do you have the ability to correct unwarranted negatives?

[Mike Smith]

Not automatically, but if someone abuses the feature by, sending a ton of random negatives towards people, I do have the power to correct their number of points if need be.

Recently just decided that I'd "finalize" the first theme I began working on here. It was one which personally I did not have much favor of but the 'bossman' seems to like it and some of you may too. You can view the new theme by scrolling to the button of any page and selecting Ken's Choice *NEW* from the quick style changer menu

not too different, basically the same thing, just a couple different images that you may or may not like. If you have any comments or suggestions, give em here or PM me. With school coming to a close, I should have more time for site (main and forum) updates so you should begin to hear from me a bit more than the past few months
