As your reputation goes up, there are more & more dots. I forget the total # but it will begin to take shape eventually.

I suppose this is what this whole "title" issue is about, but does this also mean that our custom titles are going to be replaced with reputation titles? Or is a person going to have two titles - one his custom one and one his reputation title? If the former, I'd hope the custom title option wouldn't be eliminated, in which case, you should make the reputation graphic much more obvious than 5x5 pixels. Either way, can you haxor VB to put a small link next to the reputation title to a thread explaining the reputation idea (or atleast to a bookmark on the New Forum thread)? I'm thinking a simple (?) after the reputation title could clear up lots of confusion that many people will undoubtedly have with this system.

[edit]
Oh, and for the -10 User has a little shameless behaviour in the past, wouldn't "has had a little shameful behaviour in the past" make more sense?

The titles show up when you mouseover the little dots. The #'s don't show up in the reputation title.. I just threw them there so we knew what the scale was. Also, the word 'User' is replaced by the username, I believe.

And, as with everything else, this could all change and become alot more intuitive, clearer and better with the final vb3 style. I won't be changing much of anything until a final style is out to base stuff off of.

Thanks again for the comments..
