    We also need monthly rankings.  Must say Im giving them away quite freely.

    Im either learning a lot, chuckling or awed by pics of gear, or the drugs are clouding my judgement.

    What's a fret? I mean, I know what a fret is but what's a 'fret'?

    I appear to have a couple as well. How do you know which post (sorry, comment) they were for?

    At the moment only by finding the post in question. 
    As a few people have mentioned it we might add it as a feature.

    8/5/7/1 for me.

    I'm guessing that means I'm funny and clever, not especially surprising and a tiny bit irritating.

    So what's a fret and how do you bestow it?

    I tried a LOL and a Wisdom click yesterday but both just took me to a weird page with a handful of symbols at the top.

    Hmm that sounds like a bug. 
    Could you provide some more specific details?

    I think this could be discriminatory. I mean, there could be those amongst us who are unlikely to get a 'wisdom' fret.

    I tried LOLing someone and got a page with come code in it ... wasn't C but could have been some of this nasty script stuff you new-fangled types write ;) clicked the back button and the screen was restored with the post's LOL count set to 1 (it had been 0). So it worked, after a fashion. BTW I'm using IceWeasel on Debian 2.6

    @Phil_aka_Pip if it happens again could you copy the text and message it to me?

    I got a solitary one from somewhere too.  I don't who or why but it was nice and made me feel like I was a little part of things here.  :)

    Just 2 LOL's for me, so whilst overall I'm not very interesting, proportionally I am funny as f*ck.

    I used to have a fret, like you; but then I took a palm in the face.

    More like 40 palms now...

    It's a non specific goodwill currency of the forum. It is the sum total of your LOL. Wow and Wisdom minus your facepalms, but above that it's a bit of fun and not meant to be taken too seriously.

    @monquixote I just tried WOWing your post (at home, Chrome on Windoze XP), and I'm not seeing the same thing so it might be an IceWeasel/Firefox issue.
