Is it just me, or is there a problem with the board on this???
If a GDP member profile already has a rating of "1" or more, the board will accept my vote "up".
However, if I'm trying to vote up either the profile OR the comment of a NEW member with "0" rating, the board will not accept my vote. It will show a check-mark as if it has acknowledged the vote, but the actual rating number will not change.
Is a fix in the works? or are all new GDP members stuck with a karma of "0"?
No dude, it's not just you! Was wondering about that myself for the last week or two
Well, I know the whole rating/karma thing is sort of a board "luxury", i.e., a non-essential part of the group.
However, I always find it nice when another member thinks enough of my post to acknowledge it.
I was a "0" at one time too (and to some, I may still be a zero!) and but I know I'd like to vote up some of the newer members that have made some nice contributions to the forum.
i think the other party needs to make more posts? don't quote me......
Yeah, i've beem trying to vote up a few new members too,to no avail.
Same here. I know there's usually some sort of trial period where ratings can't be posted but this is different... we're into new territory now people. Then again, screw the new members. Screw 'em all to hell.
If they had any sense they would have bought Gretsches long before now.

Sarcastic humor at its finest....
DangerousMan, are you a "Burning Man" afficianado?
Ric I am not a Burning Man fan, nor am I a fan of 'The Wicker Man.' I just chose that avatar as it fulfills two basic requirements - 1, it has red black and white and 2, it does represent my name quite well. It actually kind of looks like a man who doubles as a swastika in his part time. He obviously annoyed somebody with his hobby.
I've noticed that my post count has remained at zero, even after dozens of posts. I don't think the GDP has passed it's elementary math requirements yet.
I expect the caintvotemup is a function of the way the GDP is currently slightly disabled. Bax has the new server move almost ready, which will:
A) give us a new bigger faster server
B) update the database engine for greater speed and stability
C) bring back many or all of the disabled features (pic-posting, articles, searchable member list – and probably this math feature)
So can I expect to be reliced?
Yes - I tried to up Gentlben and one or two others recently but to no avail - so that's good news to hear that the new server Baxter mentioned earlier is "almost ready" (quoteth Proteus) - so I just wonder when almost ready actually is?

Think of it this way... you're currently being preserved in "mint" new, unplayed condition! Your warranty card hasn't been filled out yet.
NOW I understand, I thought it was just because I was ...welll you know... a SAILOR! WE can be disreputable sorts after all! Rob
Dunno about sailors (I had two uncles in the RAF, though) but I thought there was nothing more disreputable than ex-hippie guitar players.
YEah, hey how about ex-punk rocker bass players who are now Gretsch playing lifer sailors??? Now THAT'S disreputable, and the RAF is very cool from Spitfires to Tornados I love getting a chance to glimpse the RAF in flight, saw a Nimrod tanker on Okinawa sooooo cool... Rob

hey, some of us old guys resemble that comment.
I just checked I am at zero too.
I believe Baxter posted Oct. 1 for the new server kick off. It doesn't appear that it's in place yet, but my guess is it'll be soon.
Fingers crossed and hope gliches will be few. 
I don't worry about the zero but I wish I could initiate new topics.
I ain't complaining though. Love the site!
Thank you Baxter and everyone else that make this great!
Yeah..Im still at zero despite my experience as a Gretsch owner and cool honest advice where needed...lol.
Go on vote me up !
GentlBen,
I wanna make a bet that you are trying to post a topic from the latest topics page. You have to go to discussion, choose the kind of topic it is and then press add a topic. In latest topics you can't post because it wouldn't know in which department to put it.
If this is not the problem, I'm sorry, then I can't help.
+1 for beatlebum
I voted you up too, didn't you notice?
