Not sure if this is in the right place but I have a few questions about the Forums home page when you sign on.
1. What is the gold star that appears above the groups you are members of?
2. What does the number mean for rep power?

The gold star is rep power. Rep means reputation, so if a member of vmkf thinks your post is helpful they will rate it by clicking on the scale slightly above the star and say why they think they deserve more rep. If a mod thinks you posted something inappropraite they will take away a star. If you wish not to use your rep you can turn it off under your user cp.

It is all to do with rep power.. there has been a discussion going on about it in this thread:

Just to clarify. Your rep power is the number of points you give another person when you rate their post.
