That Bar under my ATS points.

Hey you know how it shows your ATS points under your avatar. Well I noticed under my ATS points theres a little bar thing. Mines gray but I've seen some peoples are shorter and longer. And I saw one that was orange. What is that thing and whats it for?

It represents your number of posts, and the color changes when you get applauds from moderators.

The "bar" shows the number of posts you've made (just hover your mouse pointer over it cyberdude78). As you get "Applause" for posts you make, the bar takes on an increasingly "red" hue.

I hope that helps? Happy posting!!

It seems as if the number of points doesn't correspond to the lenght of the bar. I could have 5 and someone have 1 point and there bar is longer. Does that have to deal with applause as well?

No, what it is that the more posts you make the longer the bar is, if you have IE and hover the mouse cursor over it , it tells you how many posts the user has made.
You could start a really popular thread with just 1 post and never ever make any more posts after and end up with 100,000 points from all the replies (I wish!), but still only have made 1 post, so your bar will be titchy!
You could make lots of posts that earn little or no points though, and have a long bar but few points. Also when you spend points in the shop you will obviously 'lose' some.

'Applause' from medorators is what changes the colour, I asked someone about all of this recently and I think it's after about 5 that it starts to change.

Thanks alot. It is just that on this page I noticed somebody had a longer bar than me with less points so I was confused. Appreciate it.
