the only problem is that "Reputation"s given before, are not figured ...
Complete installation step two, above.

That was part of the design - I've never seen a post get that much reputation before!
However, I will adapt the mod to address your issue.
I've released version 4b, which ups the maximum tally for each post to 32,767.
To upgrade:
* uninstall the existing product
* import the new attached product
* perform step two of the installation
This will re-generate all your post reputation scores, changing all the ones currently set to 127 to whatever the correct value is.
Only people who have posts on their forum with >127 or <-127 rep are advised to do this particular upgrade.
Thankyou for the reply. I realise that all forums can look different, I guess I just thought of looking at a screenshot how you have it set up - ie how it's set up as a default.
Also perhaps showing how exactly the post reputation is given - ie with the [+/-] on the actual post like on Wowhead, or if it's a drop down menu thing etc.
Just to help me get a better understanding of how it all looks before I go attempting to play with it.

This mod adds the +X or -X indicators as shown above. It does not add "+" and "-" buttons like on WoWhead. My mod uses the existing reputation system as the basis for its point scores on posts. WoWhead uses something else.
If you want a quick demo of how my mod looks on your forum, just perform install steps one and three. This will show you how it looks, and only take about 2 minutes of install time. Just revert/uninstall the mod if you don't like it. If you like the concept but don't like how it looks, then learn to edit templates, and use a different template edit. Once you have sorted out a different template edit, just post it here and I'll link to it. It would be fairly trivial to add in an if conditional that turned post text green on posts with positive rep or positive rep above a certain threshold.

Your database prefix. The one you defined when you installed vBulletin.
Hi! This Mod is fantastic!
Its the base for many little modificatios I made in my forum.
Thanks you very much, AngelBlue!
...But (because allways theres a but XD) I ask you to make one extra modification that I cant make by myself: A add-on who count the times a post break one postive karma mark, and who count the times a post break it down (negative karma)
Its for make an award for the users who made more "important" posts in a year...
...and an "antiaward" for those who made it in the darkside of the karma ^ ^ (something, something, something, Dark Karma XD)
This line is there for a reason. Please respect it!
Geez ok, no need to get nasty. I don't make a point of reading people's signatures because that's not what I am here for. I read mod descriptions. I'm also used to all the other mods I have chosen to install provide screenshots - the saying "a picture says a thousand words" is very true and I find I understand a lot better if I can see images. It usually means I don't have to ask the questions I've had to in this mod.
If my questions are a problem then so be it, I will not trouble you anymore and find another mod to use.

Please, take a look on this ^ ^
I've actually had a request by someone on my own forums for this very feature.
I will consider adding it in a future version.
The reason why I haven't added it so far is that it would change the database structure again.
I might well include this feature in a future release. Remind me in a month if I haven't added it yet.

Questions aren't a problem. I agree that a picture is worth a thousand words. I would like to provide a screenshot, but, unfortunately, my board is not open to the public. Thus, I can't take screenshots of it (as that would break our rules). I am open to those who have installed this taking screenshots and forwarding them to me, so that I can include them in the mod description. I've suggested that people contribute screenshots in the mod description, so that we will hopefully get a screenshot in future. I really do want my mods to be as useful as possible. Even though I can't provide screenshots, I hope that contributed screenshots will allow me to show people what the mod can do. Also, if you want to see what it looks like, you can simply perform install steps 1 and 3, then check out a very recent post, and you will be able to see it. Install steps 1 and 3 together should take less than two minutes. Again though, this is mostly a backend mod. How it displays on posts by default doesn't really matter, as you can quite easily change the template conditional you use to make it display any way you want.
Version 4c has been released today, and includes a few new features to address the requests that people have made in this thread since the last update.
I have added a more wowhead-like feature to version 4c of this mod.
Starting in version 4c, the background of posts with overall positive rep is green, and the background of posts with overall negative rep is pink (light red).
When doing the template changes to postbit_legacy, you can alter the HTML to change the text color instead of the background color. Doing this, and using a dark background, might achieve a visual effect very similar to WoWhead...

Version 4c now uses a different system that allows you to track positive reputation and negative reputation separately for each post.
A post that was given a +1 and a -1 would previously show up as neutral... but now it correctly displays both a +1 and a -1 in its title. You can use the new rpos and rneg variables (defined in the post database for each post) to implement custom hacks based on this, as well.
I hope this answers your request
If you have any other requests for extensions to this mod, please post them ASAP, because starting in a few days from now, I will become very busy, and have a LOT less time to work on this mod.
