The little grey bar

Does anyone know what that bar is under the ATS, BTS, and PTS points is? I've been trying to figure it out.

It's called a status bar.

It show you how many posts a user has. Gets longer with more posts.

Changes color with more 'Applause's' that you get. (turns red in increments)

each 10 'Applause's' it goes to next 'level'. There are ten levels. After 110 'Applauses', it appears to disappear.

You can hover your mouse there, to see how many posts a user has.

And Moderators have a solid Orange bar.(or gold, I'm colorblind lol)

Hey sailor....how ya' doing?

Mine hasn't changed a shade yet, I feel so un1337

I wonder why's that... Is it a bug or a feature? I'll make sure I don't get toomany applauses... I like a red bar much better than no bar!

The code adjusts the width of the bar by measuring pixels. When the available pixels are used up the code sorta' "breaks".

It's not the length that breaks the bar it's the redness. When you reach the reddest red there are no other shades so when more applauses come and it attempts to go to the next shard of red it breaks and blanks out.

Do you lose one level of "red" each time you get a warning? If thats the case Im suprised I still have any color at all...

Skippy.

An example of a broken bar (not sure when it broke, I only noticed recently) can be seen here:
