Reputation Not working..

[epichike]

I cant seem to find where to enable / disable user rep.. It has never worked since I have started my forum.. I would like to activate it..

vBulletin 5 doesn't have a reputation system, (although the core of it is used in the background). It uses a Likes system instead.

I see the likes for posts.. So what is the deal with the bar below avatars? For example mine on this post has none, where yours is all the way lit up.. On my forum no one has any lit bars

[Mark.B]

It works very similarly to the old reputation...as it's that system that powers the likes. So each time you're given a 'Like' it adds to the alorithm that calculates the bar.
If you hover over the bar you will see the same reputation values from vB3 and vB4 are displayed.

Nobody will have any lit up parts of the bar until they start getting likes...it builds up over time.

My forum has been going for 6 months and tons of likes have been givin, not a single person has any rep.. I am trying to find where to enable it but cant seem to locate it in the admin control..

In Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > edit the usergroup and look under "User Reputation System" - are all those set to Yes?

And on the forums, have the users look under the dropdown for their username > User Settings > Account > Reputaion Level and have them make sure that is checked or else they are 'hiding' their reputation level and others will not be able to see it.
