What are those white stripes?

[kshapero]

I see under my name a bunch of white stripes (on the left) and then I notice some other folks have some of those stripes as orange. What's that all about?

 

[Ko.Fe.]

Looks like it is corelated to likes.

 

[kshapero]

I have a lot of likes.🙄

MP guy was going to check and see what the bars are.

I asked this question recently and didn't get an answer. Is it possible no one knows?? I thought they might be about the member's activity level on the forum, e.g. number of posts posted. But that's only a guess.

Either oil or water temperature.

It's your battery level. And yours is dead!

 

[kshapero]

Mr Gandy? Want to pipe in?

Maybe you’re right. But I look at you red bar guys with concern. Is that trouble brewing? If needed I can lend you two of my healthy white bars.

 

[Yokosuka Mike]

I have four red bars, I'll be selling them in the classifieds - 4 red bars for 4 gold bars!

All the best,
Mike

hah, Another GOOD one ... Giggling !

I think yellow orange lights are some type of frequency denoting popularity/ posting
a secret society for initiates only, rolls eyes, wink,wink

All rather juvenile
just like having a 'like button' which I think tends to make people rather lazy in thinking & not writing a thought, a comment
but I suppose RFF is trying to become more like the 'rest' on the internet than realizing some of it's past non conformity Beauty.

:bang::bang::bang:There, I have my orange bars.

 

[Canyongazer]

Anything to do with Jack and Meg?

It is explained here:

 

[raydm6]

They may be called “reputation” or “like” bars. Don’t know what they mean.

Every 100 points of reputation gives an orange bar up to ten bars. This is hard coded.

Users earn reputation through likes. The amount of reputation received by a specific like is determined by the Reputation Power of the user giving the like.

Users gain Reputation Power by creating posts, liking posts from other users, length of registration and several other factors. You can adjust Reputation Power under Settings -> Options -> User Reputation Options.

You can set levels of reputation (that affects the wording when the bars are moused over) under User Reputations -> User Reputation Manager.

another ‘Mystery’ solved.., Thank You raydm6
i was close in my thinking what it translated to.

How utterly childish & not a seductive way to
engage people to post...

RFF is trying too hard to be modern ... yawn
