I didn't see anything on the board FAQ.
I didn't see any details on users reputation pages.

Any details would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you want to give a user reputation points related to a specific comment they made:

Look at the bottom of the comment that you want to rep. On the left side, directly under the comment, is a small button with a green + symbol. Click on that button to go to the page to leave rep for that user.

If you want to give a user general reputation points that won't be linked to a specific comment they made:

Click on the underlined number next to the word Reputation under their user name. That takes you to the page to leave rep for that user.

Thanks for addressing this Wedge, I have the same questions that TardisCaptain had a couple years ago. I don't see the small button with green symbol you referenced for giving rep to a post, the only one I see with a green symbol says "quote" and then the box at the bottom tells me to quote the post or deselect it.

I also don't see a way to give general rep to a poster by clicking on their rep number, that just takes me to a page showing all of the others who have given the rep and for what.

I'm new to posting here so wondering if you have to have a certain number of posts, or a certain amount of rep yourself, before you can give rep to others?
