What is the small number next to Members names?
If you are talking about this site, you probably mean the recommendation, or trust points. They are usually in brackets after user names. People are free to give a recommendation to the contributor of an answer. For answers that have been written by several people, the last to make a substantial contribution can claim being the 'last editor', and that person's name appears after the answer. Users can recommend that last editor, and the person's numbers go up. You can recommend any given user once. It is a very general indication that that many people liked contributions made by that member. Keep in mind that many members spend a great deal of time with editing, categorizing and other site tasks for which trust points are not given. So take all answers at face value, and give a trust point for what you think is a good answer, unless you have already given one to that contributor.
