Great, thanks Greeneyedleo I was getting worried there for a minute

A change of password is always good every now and then anyway!

This is my first go at an avatar.
I didn't know where to test it.

It's working, but it's a little to wide, 221 pixels instead of the 160 that it should have as its maximum width, according to the Avatar and Signature Guidelines and the available space.

I don't think that the people that have already received many stars and flags would like that system, it would mean that from someone that made interesting threads they would be transformed into someone that makes worthless threads.

It would also confuse many people, because some people would say something and some people would say the opposite.

Also, all the systems that could represent a "thumbs down" were abused by groups of members that would "attack" a thread from someone with a different point of view and, even before that thread had three or four posts it was already marked as a bad thread by the OP's enemies.

It's easier to create a false bad reputation than create a good one that is real.

Umm what you describe is already in effect .
Haven't you noticed how anti establishment drivel and the Ron Paul gospel gets tons of stars and Flags and any opposing views usually get way less ?
I know that because I am an objective and logical thinker that I won't get as many Stars and Flags as others . I am not denied a voice its just that I won't win any popularity contests .

Either system can be equally abused. It's just that abuse that indicates positive feed back looks better for the site than a negative one.

And how can the forum know what was the last post you read?

That icon takes you to the last post in the thread. What I'm referring to would take you to the first post in a thread you had yet to read. I talked to my friend and he said the site I'm referring to uses vbulletin and its just a CSS script he found for that.
