what is reputation and reputation level?

You don't have it enabled on your forum. I would just ignore that option

Thanks a million dtommy79! At least someone is listening...

m8 i did it but since i installed vbadvanced it stopped working can anyone give me some code to show the post icon i need this asap :P thx alot.

Ever since the 5.6 update, the rep totals displayed in the Tops Stats and what is shown in my postbit has been off. Also, I liked the old coloring of black and grey much more than the css. So, how can we get old versions of this? I want to go back to 5.5.

Thanks!

I believe the actual reputation points shown on the postbit/usercp is more necessary than the reputations received only from members. Some Forums based their promotion on reputation level so it would be better for monitoring the user rep stats and some admins award reputation points to motivate their members. This new version defeats that purpose. And with this new setup, a lot of members will inquire why does the reputation on their postbit differs from the Top Stats, or why does the other member is ranked higher than him in the Top Stats when he has more reputation points.

How can we display the actual reputation points instead, just like the previous versions of this modification?
