The orange bars under your user name denote 'reputation'

Every 100 points of reputation gives an orange bar up to ten bars.

Members 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.

View 'reputations' for their entertainment value, rather than an accurate guide to how much trust you can place in the information from a member.

Something must be wrong with the algorithm then Robert, because your reputation is zero!

[Robert Scott]

I don't post very often and nobody 'Likes' me!

On the other hand, as Administrator, I can set my own reputation level!

And Tom, who is prolific in acknowledging and offering advice, has 32000 posts and has zero reputation

I may be a bit of a cynic but it could be due to the fact that Tom does landscapes and not birds.
