This is my first hack, so please be gentle. Based on peterska2's "Add Gender Icon" hack. Thanks for that!
Purpose: This hack adds an image beneath your name in posts and on the members list to show whether you want positive or negative reputation.
On my forum, I have quite a few non-conformists who delight in their own evil, so I gave them hidden areas based on having low, LOW reputation, and gave the folks with positive reputation their own hidden areas, as well. The trick was coming up with a way to let everyone know who wanted what; it's everlastingly irritating to have to tell everyone over and over what kind of reputation you want.
Hopefully this will be applicable for someone else.
Requirements: This hack requires uploading two .gif images, creating a new profile field, a new phrase, and two template edits. Less than five minutes.
PLEASE NOTE: THE IMAGES ARE CASE-SENSITIVE. DO NOT RENAME THEM UNLESS YOU KNOW PRECISELY WHAT YOU'RE DOING. They won't show up if you rename them.
This hack is semi-supported, in that I am startlingly ignorant but willing to help if I can. It works perfectly in my forum. If you like it, please click install.
Adding 7/21/2006: I've shifted the spacing on my own site, so if you would like the reputation icon placed a little differently on your own site, I can help with that. There's quite a few different ways to do it that would make the Readme file confusing as hell if I tried to include them all, so if you want/need help shifting the reputation icon, I can provide it.
