Nicely put! 
Might be, someone else has an idea and tells us then!

No, my homepage is completely devoid of anything to do with article approvals. It seems that the criteria have been made more stringent in that respect

The criteria is for Gold authors, not just gold 'anything'. We did this so that someone who is, say, a gold partipant (a big chatter box!) but has no expertise in articles will not be able to moderate content.
We tried to juggle the numbers a little to ensure most people who were gold continued to be gold as authors, but in the end a few (including your unfortunate self) missed out. You're close - just not quite there.cheers,

Got it 
Hope to get that priviledge soon then!

It will fit.
I am grabbing a crowbar (tyirelever in some parts of the world) and will make it fit.cheers,

The memebership status is now showing various reputation types with their membership levels - which is very cool.
Taking cue from the suggestion posted just below , I was just wondering if points could be displayed along with their reputation types in the Professional Profile (at least when you hover the tooltip over the various types)?Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

There is already something useful on hover of the reputations of individuals Profession Profile.

Yes, I noticed that. But then, there can always be more information inside the tooltip.Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.

Yep! it can be... its just that adding points too with a little detail might make the tooltip a little big which looks annoying to lots of people!
Still, can be thought of in compact manner somehow.

Looks like Chris read, agreed and resolved a solution based on what we both said.
Cheers Chris!
Though i wanted to share a little on the look of the implementation.
Might be a little smaller font-sizes would look much better on the page (this is based on normal style and smaller font stuff on the same page)

That was really really quick. I wish things in the real world had such quick turnarounds.
Awesome, Chris.

Is it possible if the Reputation FAQ can be modified to show your current points in the "Member Levels by Reputation Type" table at the bottom of the FAQ.
e.g. in the Author Header put members current Author points. Saves having to go back and forth to the chart to remember numbers or take a note of them.
Cheers,

I disagree...

I don't think this is a good idea. FAQ's are the places where one should see what everyone see. Answers are provided to common questions.
What you are suggesting will no longer keep that FAQ as a common page and will be like a part of 'About my reputation'! and we should have a static FAQ!

Who says a FAQ cannot be dynamic? That is bollocks, but you are entitled to you opinion as am I.
Why inconvenience the user with having 2 windows, when you have space and couple of lines of extras code to get the system to do the work for you?
Also, i wonder what the Points Needed column will be used for in the future? maybe it is for something dynamic....only time will tell.Dave

Right! That was just my opinion, nothing more!

Yep. Lets see.

I think it's a great idea, since the the FAQ is on a separate page from your actual reputation score.
Just put the member's current score for each category in the table header that explains that category..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Cheers Chris, but i think this reply should have been in the Thread from Abhinav above this one here[^], as it relates to that question, not this one.
This thread was about showing these valves in the Rep Faq, in the lower table header rows so you can easily see your current rep score vs the requirements for each level for each category.
Cheers

Sorry - my (obtuse) answer was meant to address this issue. Essentially "I don't feel that FAQ should list your entries, though I am considered having the entries show how far you have to go until the next level. In the meantime I'm showing your actual numeric values in your profile".
I can see my abbreviated version may not have conveyed the full meaning.cheers,

Thanks.
Feel free to mark their posts to be removed, and for the Quick Answers spam delete or edit into oblivion. Down vote 'em first, of course, so their reputation reflects their quality of character.
That really annoys me.cheers,
