A little karma weirdness

chowhound said:

I never saw this before;
I was in a thread, Ray's potato recipe thread, and I went to give him karma and couldn't. BUT..... I did not receive the usual "you must spread it around message".... the message I received said something about the thread not having any "reputation yet" and it also gave me my karma points. Has anyone else ever had this happen? And what did it mean about the thread not having any reputation yet?

I don't know how to give Karma, so I don't have anything to say about your question...but I just wanted to let you know I LOVE your parachute tagline/sig.

Newnork - to give karma - click on the scales button in the top right hand corner of the post you appreciate. Its between the post number and the "report it" warning sign.

I see it...thank you so much! I've got some Karma I've been saving up for when I learned how to distribute it.

Thanks Nork. A little play on words from someone else's sig line ;^)

I thought it "sounded" familiar. I do enjoy a good play on words.

Yeah, as MM said, that is what happens when you click Karma for your own post. It gives a report as to whether your post has received Karama, and it also reports your total K value.

hmmm, so the mystery remains as to why it happened within Miniman's thread....

I don't know how else you could dumb-it-down.

Or maybe by hitting back, a new post came in which shifted all posts in realtime, but your cache of that page didn't advance, and while it looked like you clicked Mini's post from your cahce, it acutally got advanced in realtime due to a new post and you really clicked on your own.

I'm reaching here!

That bugs the hell out of me - the sites/laptop/broadband can't keep up with my fingers and I end up in places I never meant to be - and in some cases never ever want to be again!!

Yeah, I blame it on Windows/PC/ISP/Virus too when DW catches me at those sites!

Another thought:

Sometimes when I scroll through a thread it will scroll a bit, then pause, then scroll the rest of the way. It has screwed me up before since you can kind of pin point the distance you scroll (because we're forum junkies

).
