What are the arrows that I see under some users  names?   Is there a spell checker built into this program?
 
How  do you get and loose karma?
 
 Thanks

Other posters can add or remove karma from you.

Thanks 4Honor,

There's no spell checker at the moment; we may add one in the coming months. You could always use Firefox, which has a spell checker built in.

Karma is given to you by other people who read your posts. If they like what you wrote, they can award you some karma in appreciation. It's just a way of saying "thanks".

If you accumulate 1,000,000 karma points, we'll give a coupon good for dinner. (I'm kidding!)

Thanks, I have firefox at home, so I will check it out.   Thanks for the tip!
