Popup alerts on new rep clicks?

I wouldn't use either.

Same here. If I wanted pop ups I'd disable the Google toolbar.

I'd be more interested to hear CD Media is finished than the rep system is getting worked on. I can see where some people may be interested in this though, maybe you should add a poll to this thread. It may be easier to keep track on where people stand and if it's worth it if enough people are interested.

I agree with Elgin about spotlighted posts. I was pretty sad when it took nearly 750 posts before something I said got spotlighted. (but then again, early on I posted alot in ChitChat)

I also agree with Jay in thinking that CD Media takes preference over small things like pop-up windows to say something to the effect of "You've got Rep!" or "You got Spotlighted!"

I think this would be a good idea. When you're someone like me (with few posts and not much reputation), checking for new rep once every visit is overkill, but by the same token, they're rare enough for us less-verbose members of the forum that I wouldn't want to miss one. A popup would be an easy compromise. On top of that, it would give me five more seconds each day to make valuable contributions to the forums during the time I would be checking for new rep!
