    Reputation tooltip text stops at 3000 points

    If you hover over the reputation blocks for a user, you'll see such things as:

    <username> is on a distinguished road (10+)
    <username> has a brilliant future (2000+)
    <username> has a reputation beyond repute (3000+)

    Unfortunately, these stop at 3000+ points and go no higher.

    Is there a way to get these extended to add a few more covering 4000, 5000, and so on?

    Thanks.

    Smile We're looking into it

    I got in touch with Joe who is in charge of the Internet.com Forums to see if we can do anything with this. He is out of the office today but he will let us know. Thanks.

    This would be quite handy

    I always thought that roundabout at 6000 there'd be another tooltip. I know of a few members which have surpassed 6000 points, and I think one has surpassed 7000. Please don't say we'd have to wait until 10,000

    3000 to 10,000? C'mon, where's the incentive?

    I agree. All the "tooltips" went relatively quickly up until 3000. Now, the next tooltip only appears after another 7000 posts.

    I'd have thought something like :
    3000
    5000
    7000

    Then

    10000

    Just my opinion

    Or use the "golden ratio": 3000, 5000, 8000, 13000, etc.
    Walk the golden road. lol

    Re: Reputation tooltip text stops at 3000 points

    If this is going to get changed, I'd prefer to just increment it the same all the way through (3000,5000,7000,9000, etc).

    The reason being is that not too many will ever reach 8000, let alone 13000 or 26000.

    Keep in mind we're talking about reputation points, not post counts.

    Since it takes about 100 posts to get a single reputation point, reaching 26000 reputation points would take approximately 46.7 light years.
