Hi Sarma in my machine both the icons willing to accept clicks.May some problem with your browser.I checked this on FIREFOX as well as IE7

Note that to your name you cannot give reputations it won't allow you.But you can vote to others.
Even the weighting scale appears it wont allow you to add reputations to you.

Gayan lease see across your own post just posted by you. you won't find the Red triangle, that is what i meant. yes, i saw clicking my post and got the appropriate message that no points are added. The action is right. Perhaps the flower need not be visible for the poster, in so much as Red triangle is not visible.

A logical outcome cam be that one can donate points to another person at the cost of his own points, if a person wants to press reputation button. There need not be perhaps a favour or dis-favour either, in the absence of mutual trust.

As suspected by Audioguru, if a person can add points to another person, some other person can act in reverse and out of shear mis-understanding or non- agreement, press a reduction even. So, I sincerely feel that if we can damage others, we should loose double or tripple the points that we aim against.

Objections can be reported to administrator /moderator.

This forum is turning into points collecting game. someone said something and is not agreed by someone else and he gets a red box. Some one helped other members and gets nothing. And someone got a green box for no apparen reason.

It's not what you know, it's who you know. Oops I might get a red box.

 

For the longest time I didn't know what those boxes were, I thought they were candies. And people with lots of knowledge and experience had lots of candy... In my twisted mind that actually made sense.

I need to get a hobby...

 

They are not points.
The green ones are lunch boxes full of food and the red boxes are empty.
I don't need any more food.

Every school kid and NOOB gives me a red box.
Big deal.

And some of those who gave you a red box received a green box themselve?

If you care about the boxes, that just means you're playing the game. And even if the boxes are just a game, what does it matter? This is still, overall, the best English-language forum on the net for electronics.

How do you know?

 

The Interweb is apparently Torben's field of expertise. If you've found a better English-language forum than this one, I'd like to know where it is. If you've found a better non-English language forum than this one, let me know what language I should be learning.

 

I like the discipline in this forum. You get 100% replies from this forum other than single word replies like many other forums have.

The green boxes you have the fully control to give a vote to the replier if it is a good or a bad post unlike other forums they increasing their stars by the number of posts they replied. Even if it is 1000 bad posts it will give you star marks. Which this forum you have to decide them.

I don't deny the possibility that there is a better one, and I don't suggest that this forum will supply 100% of the help everybody needs. But I have spent a long time looking for better resources and have yet to find one which I consider better.

I used to spend a lot of time on Usenet, especially in the early '90s, and there are some good resources there too. However groups like (for instance) sci.electronics.*, while helpful, suffer from the presence of people like Phil Allison. Phil knows (or appears to know) his electronics, but his personality could curdle water. Anyone who finds audioguru* a little abrasive should spend some time on s.e.b. and see how long it takes before audioguru seems like a friendly fluffy bunny.

[*- Not singling you out for anything here Duck; it just seems you've been getting some flak recently.]

There are more directed forums, which may be more useful for specific interest areas, products, or levels of expertise, but for general electronics knowledge, if there is a better site than electro-tech, please let us in on the secret!

Hi Torben,
Couldn't agree more.

For logical reasons, and for keeping scope for improving the performance of a person, or say an institution,(I feel Electro-tech-online is no less an institution.), it is better to imagine that there are better locations where service is better. This helps us to strive to serve better. Of course, the seekers also could contribute.

my god no. i'm an rf engineer. nobody here knows anything about antenna ranges, VNAs, couplers, phase shifters, loops, patches and whatnot save for radio ron. i'd have to go to agilent or rf cafe to get some answers.
