Hi, just looking at profiles (including my own) with categories behaviour, building, appearance and given.

I understand how you can positively rate people but what does the "given category" mean?

for example my ratings are Behaviour +8 Appearance +3 Building +2 Given +12

Sorry it may be a stupid question but I couldn't find the answer.

Cheers.

Given is how many ratings you've given to others :)

oh, thanks Chip. I guess it is blindingly obvious in hindsight! Thanks again.

Chips Skins =teh Rox0rz!!! I would say they are arguably the most realistic looking skins available in SL.

The clothes he designs are all fabulous also and on top of that, he's a great and funny guy :)

Wow, I need to answer questions more often! :D Thanks you guys.

Eggy, probably never. I'd rather put the time into making stuff instead of doing web design work. But who knows... I may get inspired to do it one of these days. It's pretty low on my priority list.

Hehe, I don't think it was a stupid question.

Embarassing Hugsy Penguin Fact: When I first started, I thought given was also a rating that people gave you. I thought people rated you on stuff you gave away. So, if you gave someone something they liked, you got a positive "given" rating. If they didn't like it, they'd rate you negatively. :o

When I finally realized what it was, it was one of those "oh, yeah, that makes more sense" momemnts. :D
